the non-biological partner could be appointed as the legal guardian of the child should something happen to her partner. You can appoint anyone to be the guardian of your children in the case of your incapacitation or death. Yes, you can even by pass relatives if you so desire. I know since I considered this when my kids were younger.

You need to just work on changing the laws there. Still, from what I heard, they are still much better than many other states regarding gays.

My niece and her partner live in Phoenix. My daughter's friend and her partner and kids, and even my own daughter and her partner and kids, are all considering moving to Arizona.

Good luck.
