Good news for unmarried parents
Thanks to Kyla at the National Council for Research on Women for alerting me that this coming Sunday marks the 15th Annual National Parent’s Day. NCRW will celebrate with a blog fest on family diversity – look for a guest post by AtMP’s own graduate research intern!
Just in time for Parent’s Day, it is great to learn from Cathy at the National Center for Lesbian Rights that, in Washington DC and soon in New Mexico,
when a woman bears a child conceived by artificial insemination, and her spouse or unmarried partner consents in writing to the insemination, the consenting spouse or partner is a legal parent. That person’s name will appear as a parent on the child’s birth certificate.
Congrats and thanks to our friend Nancy Polikoff for helping draft this model legislation!
