SUMMARY
After years in a committed relationship, Jon and Michael Galluccio became foster parents to Adam, a premature infant born with the HIV virus and addicted to crack, heroin, marijuana, and alcohol. With love and care, the Galluccios nursed Adam back to health and decided to apply for adoption.Refused by the state of New Jersey -- even as it asked them to care for another at-risk infant -- the Galluccios filed a class action lawsuit. After a tense legal battle, they emerged victorious and the ruling paved the way for all unmarried couples in the state to adopt children jointly.This heartwarming story shows that the American family is vibrantly alive and extending itself in new directions. The paperback edition includes a new postscript describing how the Galluccios became -- unexpectedly -- grandparents.Galluccio, Jon is the author of 'American Family' with ISBN 9780312261238 and ISBN 0312261233.
