A lesbian couple in France have won their 11-year battle to adopt a child.
One of the women has been referred to as Emmanuelle B, while the other has not been named.
Emmanuelle B is a nursery school teacher. The couple have been living together since 1990.
According to Reuters, an administrative tribunal in the eastern town of Besancon granted the couple the right after they had been turned down by regional authorities.
French law allows gays and lesbians to adopt individually, but not as a couple. Emmanuelle B and her partner could have adopted a child if only one of them applied, but they chose to fight for the right to adopt jointly.
Emmanuelle B and her partner were first rejecting from adopting a child together in 1998.

Joseph Ratzinger – alias Benedicto XVI of France and his plea against divorce, is making it seem as though Nicholas Sarkozy will have to review other practices that the Vatican does not approve of.
This time it looks as though Rome is not prepared to give approval to Jean-Loup Kuhn-Delforge, the ambassador who has been sent from France replacing the deceased Bernad Kessdijian. The reason being, is his sexual orientation. Jean-Loup Kuhn-Delforge has not been accepted due to his ” personal profile” and “for being a declared and militant homosexual diplomat.” Sarkozy has made preparations already by naming two other possible candidates “of good name” for the position: the organizer of the papal visit to France, Stephane Chmelewsky, and the German citizen near Santa Sede Marc Odendall.
