JERUSALEM (JTA) -- Israel's Interior Ministry registered a woman's lesbian partner as her son's second mother.
The move follows last year's order by the nation's Supreme Court in favor of Ruti and Nicole Berner-Kadish, who were living in the Bay Area when Ruti gave birth to Mattan, now 5.
Nicole adopted Mattan under California law, but the Interior Ministry refused to recognize the adoption when the couple returned to Israel. The ministry had claimed a child cannot have two mothers.
