The U.S. Supreme Court in March had overturned the Alabama high court's ruling in the case of the two lesbian mothers known by the initials E.L. and V.L. because of the minor children involved.
"In accordance with V.L. v. E.L., (2016), we vacate the September 18, 2015, judgment of this Court holding that the Court of Civil Appeals and the Jefferson Family Court erred in giving full faith and credit to the May 30, 2007, adoption decree entered by the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, declaring V.L. the adoptive parent of her then same-sex partner E.L.'s three children," the Alabama Supreme Court's order on Friday states.
