Does DOMA apply to same-sex couples married in another country?

Effective June 26, 2013, the US federal government recognizes same-sex marriages, regardless of where they were performed, although for some purposes, it is necessary for the couple to live in a state that also recognizes their marriage.
The part of DOMA that survives the US Supreme Court decision, specifically that section which permits states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages performed elsewhere, continues to permit states to ignore marriages performed in foreign countries.
DOMA is only relevant under US federal and state law. It does not control the laws of other countries.

How does your partner adopt your child with out being married?
I don't think you can. You either has to be single or married to adopt. Just living together is neither. if you are in a samesex relationship and has gone through partnership might be possible though.
Can Muslim girls have boyfriends?
Anyone can do anything they want to as long as they truly want it. No, in Islam having a boyfriend/girlfriend type of relationship is not allowed whether your a male or a female and whether the bf/gf is Muslim or not. If you have anymore questions regarding the matter, just ask and I'll be happy to answer them. i gree in islam having a boyfrnd or a grlfrnd is not allowd but today no youngr generation follows it .....so if a muslim girl personlly like a non muslim boy...then it is not allowd in islam.....u cannot marry him unless he accpts islam...:)
