SALT LAKE CITY—

If passed, Sen. Ross Romero's Adoption by a Co-parent Bill would allow gay couples, or any unmarried couple living together, to adopt.

"Some people may not want to marry or some people may not be able to marry, so this could apply with equal force if they were sisters," says Romero, giving a hypothetical example. "One sister moved in with another sister and one of the sisters from a previous marriage had a child. They could not legally marry."
