A same sex couple from Hazel Park filed suit against the governor and state attorney general because they can't jointly adopt.
On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman suggested they instead challenge the state's definition of marriage.
"I just want my kids to have the same rights as everybody else's family. They deserve those rights," April DeBoer told Fox 2 Detroit's Amy Lange.
DeBoer and her partner, Jayne Rowse, have been fighting for their kids all their lives. They are both nurses who fostered and adopted three special needs children, who are now thriving.
DeBoer and Rowse were certified by the state as a couple to foster the children, but the state only allowed them to adopt them as individuals. They want the right to jointly adopt. They want their children to have two legal parents.
