“She did your honor. It’s the basis of our complaint against her. We believe the question was not only inappropriate but homophobic and sexist. We reminded her that we were a lesbian family and she responded that was even more reason why the man question was critical.”
“I’ve never heard anything so ridiculous, but I commend your response. She writes that you were facetious and hired a male nanny to provoke her.”
“We didn’t go looking for a male nanny to satisfy Roberta’s question about Angie having a significant male in her life. As you can see ‘Bette pointed to her father, James, David, Max and even Wilson who were present in the audience ‘Angie has several male influences in her life that filled that requirement if there was any legitimacy to her asking, but when Angus Partridge interviewed for the job as her full-time nanny we saw how Angie gravitated to him. He had all the qualifications we were looking for, and we considered him the perfect choice regardless of gender.”
“Very well. You’ve answered all my questions concerning the report. We know that sometimes the working relationship between social workers and parents can break down. But always remember, even if you find your social worker difficult to work with it is the court who makes the final decisions, not the social worker. Therefore, I grant your petition without reservation or prejudice. Ms. Kennard will you please bring your daughter up here and join her ‘other mother.”
”Congratulations. I wish you all the best.” The judge gladly put her stamp of approval on the final step in the process to formulize what was already an established fact. Elizabeth Porter was now legally Angelica’s other mother. They thanked the judge.
Everyone was asked to stand again while the judge left the courtroom and then they were dismissed.

They left the courthouse in a procession of cars and headed to the Planet which was closed to the public that afternoon. Kit arranged for the chef to prepare a special lunch menu for the private celebration. They ate, drank and cheered the family wishing them a future filled with many happy occasions and wonderful memories. They wrapped things up at around 4pm so the staff could prepare the café to serve dinner and entertain the after-hours crowd.

Thank you, please keep writing in this Tibette World so we can escape here away from the new Show.

Hi SG. The only good thing about the new show is that it will give us a lot of material to fix in FANFIC world. I can’t wait to start writing GenQ stories where Bette and Tina are together raising a well behaved Angie. I really can’t stand how Angie turned out, and I really think Bette would have been a better mother than how she is being portrayed. Not to say a teen wouldn’t be somewhat rebellious but this kid’s lack of control and boundaries scares me. I’ll keep writing as long as you keep reading. Thank you.
Hi, So agree about the new Show and look forward to you putting it right in your postings.
I’ll keep reading while ever you keep writing!

This is a good chapter. I always wondered why the original series did not address the discriminatory questions Roberta made to Bette and Tina? That was the thing that I always wondered about the original series. They always posed a question, but the characters seldom got into a discussion about the rightness or wrongness of the situation. They came close when Alice and Tasha discussed the war in Iraq, but never got to the core of the discussion. The same thing happened here. A government employee was being discriminatory against a lesbian woman who wanted to adopt a child which the birth mother was in full support of. Your story demonstrates that sort of behavior has consequences. The original story from The L Word did not.
Thank you for this story….will there be more or is this your conclusion?
Hi Martha. Thank you for reading and commenting. I agree with you on the shows lack of addressing Roberta’s discrimination on the show, but what’s worse we never even heard if the adoption went through. I’m about two chapters from ending this story then I will go back to my previous one.
Thank you for the post, I agree totally with SassyGran !
Me too. Reading and writing stories here is a great escape from what they’ve done to Bette and Tina in GenQ. Bad enough they are divorced but blaming it on Tina for falling for someone else lacks creativity. Making Bette a serial cheater ruined it for me.
Thank you for this chapter!
I hope this is not the end and that you will stay in the Tibette fantasy world!
Bibi28. No this is not the end. I think I have two more chapters before I wrap it up, then I will go back to my previous story and finish that one. I will always stay in Tibette world, they are the only reason I watched the show. Thanks for reading and commenting.
Thank you for the chapter!
It’s good that they decided to return in the house. For the family it’s suits better than condo
