Gary Stocklaufer weighs 500 pounds. He said a family court judge ruled this week that he wasn't fit enough to be an adoptive father.

"It's out-and-out discrimination," Stocklaufer said. "We don't have a checkered past. We don't have a rap sheet, like a lot of people do. We don't have any cases of abuse."


...


Meanwhile, several doctors have come forward to offer free gastric bypass surgery to Stocklaufer as a way to help him lose weight.

The Judge was concerned that the man could develop diabetes or sleep apnea in the future.


Was the judge right or wrong?
