Establishes presumption of legal parentage for married or civil union couples with children born via gestational carrier or artificial insemination.
This bill establishes a presumption of legal parentage for married or civil union couples who have children through gestational carrier agreements or artificial insemination. If the natural or intended parent and their spouse or civil union partner appear on the child's birth certificate and have a marriage or civil union certificate issued before the child's birth, they are presumed to be the legal parents. The bill removes the need for a home study or background check to issue a judgment of adoption under these circumstances.
