Same-sex couples win right to adopt in Utah


Utah's Supreme Court last week lifted a stay that had prevented the state Department of Health from issuing birth certificates to same-sex couples adopting children. The stay was put in place in May after several district judges ordered that the birth certificates be issued. 

"There is no longer any need for clarification about what the status of these marriages is," Utah Solicitor General Bridget Romano said.
