Sources for Discussion on LGBT Adoption
Source 1:
A lesbian couple from Colorado named, Cheryl Clark and Elsey Maxwell, adopted a baby from China. However, both the law of Colorado and China doesn’t provide joint adoption.

The split reason was the consideration of not teaching their child that was considered homophobic.
