Although Jenkins is not the biological mother and never tried to adopt the now seven-year-old Isabella, Vermont Judge William Cohen ordered Miller to turn the girl over to Jenkins this Friday. Attorney Steve Crampton tells OneNewsNow that Liberty Counsel argued before a Virginia judge last week, asking for Miller&#8217;s protection.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a very serious constitutional issue regarding whether Virginia must enforce the Vermont court order,&#8221; the attorney notes. &#8220;So the clock is ticking quite loudly right now, and it remains to be seen whether we can get any relief in Virginia.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Virginia is a state that only recognizes the union of one man and one woman, and Crampton explains that &#8220;there is an enormous conflict between the laws of Vermont that have decreed a lesbian legal stranger to be a full parent and the laws of Virginia&#8230;.&#8221;
