The Utah Supreme Court _1_ all same sex adoption cases until state justices can determine whether those adoptions are legal. From member station, KUER in Salt Lake City Terry Gildea reports.

Last month lawyers for the state filed petition _2_ several judges abuse their discretion by approving the adoption for gay couples and ordering the Utah department of vital record to issue birth certificate for those _3_ children. Supporters of same sex couple say the state is tearing families apart. Last year, a federal district court judge ruled that Utah's law banning same sex marriage was unconstitutional. More than 13,000 gay couples in this state _4_ before the US Supreme Court state the district court decision.The state _5_ the 10th circuit court in April. That case has been expedited and court could rule any day. A decision by the 10th circuit court could have borne on how Utah Supreme Court Justices may rule on same sex adoption in the state. For NPR News, I am Terry Gildea in Salt Lake City.
上個月，猶他州議員提出申訴，稱一些法官同意同性夫妻領養孩子并要求猶他州人口記錄部為這些被領養的孩子提供出生證明是濫用自由裁量權。同性婚姻的支持者表示，該州的做法會家庭分離。去年，一名聯邦地區法院法官裁定，猶他州禁止同性婚姻的法律違反憲法。在美國最高法院宣布地區法院的判決之前，有超過1.3萬對同性情侶在猶他州結婚。之后猶他州于4月向第十巡回法庭提起上訴。該案被列為加急案件，法院隨時都可能進行裁決。第十巡回法庭的判決結果可能會影響猶他州最高法院法官對該州同性戀領養孩子的裁決。NPR新聞，特里·吉爾達鹽湖城報道。
