But our situation is analagous to a straight married couple having used donor sperm. Our child was born while we were married and had we been straight no one, not any court, would question my being the other parent. <br /><br />Thanks for the well wishes.JRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11775496306633532783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12400768.post-54458888271734498222009-11-19T17:30:52.603-05:002009-11-19T17:30:52.603-05:00I know it is frustrating, but having worked for a ...I know it is frustrating, but having worked for a while as a paralegal in Colorado, I know that even with heterosexual step-parent adoptions the non-biological adoptive parent has to go through a lot of background checking and home study, etc. At the bottom line is the protection of a child, and dotting the "I's" and crossing the "T's" in that regard is not a bad thing.<br /><br />Congratulations to your completely "recognized" family! BTW, I called my first grandson "Bean" but he's too old now (nearly 10).<br /><br />GGGrumpyGrannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12662642493803994752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12400768.post-8439019851221844772009-11-11T22:27:40.193-05:002009-11-11T22:27:40.193-05:00Great pics and a wonderful family you all are!
