Parents Deemed Too Fat To Adopt Child
Barbara and Gordon Ray, both 28, allege state weight rules block their adoption of a child. The couple, health certified and active, say state social workers lowered weight limits from 190 to 170 pounds, then barred them due to obesity. They seek clarity on legality and may pursue private adoption only as a last resort.
