UK appeal court judge describes ‘devastating cautionary tale’ of deceit and the unreliability of informal conception arrangements
Who could have possibly predicted an “informal conception arrangement” might lead to a fight over the birth certificate?
I wonder if this is more about the bio mother hurting her ex-wife, or going after the donor/fuckbuddy for financial support?
Pretty much.
TLDR; Lesbian couple got a third party to donate via artificial insemination, after a few attempts it didn't seem to work, one of the Lesbians (unknown to her partner) had sex with the third party, and either way a kid came from it. The couple later divorced, they were trying to determine the visitation rights, when it comes out that the child might have been conceived in a manner that wasn't from artificial insemination, thus the non-genetic mother was stricken from the birth certificate. Think it left off on both the mothers and third parties were getting custody or something.
Thank you for that summary because there's no way I'm reading the details on a Friday night and that headline is shit and the other comments here assume that the article was read. I can get some rest now.
