In the brave new world of sexual arrangements Liberals are creating there's this: some lawyers are advising their clients to adopt their lovers, making your sexual partner your legal child.

Believe it or not, there is a growing trend in this country of adopting one’s adult lover or spouse for various reasons: to better guarantee the adoptee’s right to inherit directly from the adoptor; to keep other relatives from having any standing to contest an estate plan; or, as in Goodman’s case, to add a spouse or lover to a class of trust beneficiaries, allowing the “child” to inherit from the “parent.” Courts around the country are struggling to figure out whether these adoptions should be upheld or not....

But before you go out and adopt your lover, there is one pretty serious repercussion you should consider: Are you committing incest? An incest conviction can result in serious jail time. And think about it: The adopter is having sexual relations with his or her legal child. Is that not incest?

To find out, read the whole thing.

... or perhaps we can ask the 9th Circuit Court if having sexual relations with your child is an unconstitutional infringement of the rights of incest perpetrators.  That's an awkward way of putting it.  There should be a name for this; what are people who commit incest called?
