A Missouri man claims he's being discriminated against due to his weight,
according to MyFoxKC.com.

Gary Stocklaufer said he and his wife, Cynthia, were asked to adopt Gary's
cousin's 3-month-old son because the relative couldn't care for the boy
anymore. But a judge - the same judge who approved Gary's adoption of his
now 7-year-old son - denied the adoption on the grounds of Gary's weight,
Stocklaufer said.

Stocklaufer said he weighs roughly 500 pounds - though he's lost 35 and is
working to lose more - and that his weight hasn't stopped him from working
as a truck driver or playing with his son.

The couple said their attorney has filed a motion for a new hearing.
