Her IQ has been assessed at 60. She has a part-time job bagging groceries at a local supermarket. She moved out of her parents’ house last year and into a half-way house specializing in meeting the needs of adults with developmental challenges. Last year she and Jerry, who also has Down’s syndrome and lives in the same facility started hanging out with each other. Six-months ago Joy started referring to Jerry as her “boyfriend.” Last week, Jerry got down on one knee, asking Joy to be his wife. Both of her parents forbid it; they will not allow her to get married and are seeking to block her from legally getting married by asking the Court to remove this right from her.
