Judge reverses ruling on lesbian foster parentsA Utah judge has reversed his decision to move a baby from its lesbian foster parents and place it with a heterosexual couple.

Judge Scott Johansen had said it was for the eight-month-old girl's "well-being" that she be with heterosexual parents.

Officials from the Utah Division of Child and Family Services had said they would fight Mr Johansen's ruling. His prior decision spurred criticism across the country.

The child could have been taken from its parents, April Hoagland and Beckie Pierce, within a week.
