[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 931041, member: 13254"] Not so sure it shouldn't be that way. I know three couples of women that have used donors and had kids through natural birth. I don't know if the non-birth mother is listed on the BC at all. I don't know what would happen legally if they split up on child support or custody . A law on civil unions could well cover these possible situations as well as giving them the same rights as straight couples in a marriage. There are lots of laws granting rights to spouses that gay couples don't have. The right of inheritance of intestate estates(community property), filing income tax as a couple, right to limited health information and I am sure there are many others I can't think of right now. I think getting all these rights to gay people are important. In Texas we don't have alimony but do have spousal support which can, and sometimes does, go either way. [/QUOTE]
