Father and son marry after they dissolve adoption


A man who adopted his same-sex partner because they couldn’t legally marry is now the husband of his “son.”

USA Today reports:
Norman MacArthur and Bill Novak spent the past 15 years as father and son in the eyes of the law; they’ll spend the rest of their years as a married couple. The couple, together for more than 50 years, married in Pennsylvania on Sunday, Yahoo News reports. Prior to the ceremony, the men told Patch.com they were “ecstatic beyond belief.”
Novak adopted MacArthur in 2000 after the pair moved from New York to Pennsylvania and realized their legal partnership wouldn’t be recognized.
“The only legal avenue we had in order to be afforded any rights was adoption,” MacArthur says. The “creative” strategy is “entirely understandable,” a lawyer says. “It reflects people’s deep need to protect each other as family.”
When a court agreed to dissolve their adoption this month so the men could marry, “The courtroom burst into applause. I burst into tears,” MacArthur tells the AP.
