The sperm and egg that got together to make a child. This is the document that will give a medical history for the child. A second document, one listing the legally recognized adult(s) responsible for the child’s care. The person or people who are expected to act as parents. Finally, some kind of document protecting the interest of the emotional parents would be nice.

I because very close to two pre teens when I lived next door to their very overwhelmed and sadly drug addicted Mother. When she died any connection I had with the children was ended. I am not even allowed to see them any more.

Bearing in mind that the lesbian relationship had already broken down and she had a close relationship with her father, she should surely have been given a voice.
Secondly, now that he is no longer officially the father, does that mean that the former lesbian partner now has to pay child support?
