Mary Cheney = Mom ; Dick and Lynn = Grandparents ; Heather Poe = legally estranged person who lives in the house and pretends to be mom.
Tiny Queer Footballs extends its congratulations and mazel tov to Mary, Dick, Lynn, and Heather Poe. Mary, the daughter of Vice-President Cheney, gave birth to a baby boy this afternoon. On the one hand congratulations!
On the other…
Should something happen to Mary we wish Heather the best of luck in trying to maintain her “custodial” status, however, under Virginia law she is not able to adopt or be added to the birth certificate.
*Update: It appears that Samuel David Cheney was born at Sibley Hospital in Washington, DC where second same-sex parent adoption is legal and the second parent is allowed to be on the birth-certificate. This will give some hope to Heather. Best of luck to all.

Is a certain pair of grandparents ashamed of their own daughter?
