It appears that New York City (and perhaps other municipalities and counties as well) are keeping their domestic partnership registries despite the advent of marriage equality in New York state. In New York City, at least, domestic partnership is not limited to only same-sex couples. There has been some talk, however, of New York employers now requiring same-sex domestic partners to wed in order to retain their health insurance benefits, but also talk of other employers maintaining the status quo.
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.
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...:)
