Mom Continues Fight for Custody of Her Daughter:Virginia woman who has overcome homosexuality could lose her biological child to former partner

Lisa Miller is continuing her legal battle for her daughter, Isabella. Miller left the homosexual lifestyle and became a Christian when Isabella was 17 months old. Janet Jenkins, who was Miller's "partner" when Miller gave birth to Isabella, is seeking full custody of the 6-year-old.Miller and Jenkins are both native Virginians, but since they were joined under Vermont's civil-union law and lived in Vermont for 13 months, courts in both states are involved.On Oct. 27, the case returns to court in Vermont, where judges earlier granted visitation rights to Jenkins. Now, Jenkins is asking for full custody."Lisa could be thrown in jail," writes Rena Lindevaldsen, special counsel for the Liberty Counsel, which is representing Miller. "Isabella could be stripped from her mother's care by law-enforcement officials."Jenkins' attorneys are pressing for an immediate hearing in Virginia, which thus far has refused to weigh in on a child visitation case that another state court has already decided.The U.S. Supreme Court has already refused to hear the appeal out of Vermont; on Dec. 7, the high court will consider whether to hear the appeal from the Virginia Supreme Court."As you can tell, Lisa and Isabella need your help," Lindevaldsen said. "Lisa's desire to raise her child according to the truths of Scripture are under attack."I'm asking you to consider whether you can commit to prayer on behalf of this family. At times like this, the Church needs to stand united before our Lord to intercede on Lisa and Isabella's behalf."
