A couple in Missouri were denied an occupancy permit (you need one in the first place?) because they are unmarried and have three children. The town's ordinance says no more than three people may live together unless they are related by "blood, marriage or adoption."

Another green and yet another blue?) than their genetic parents and don't qualify as the connector between the two adults?
