Abstract: Whether by self-help or in vitro fertilization (IVF), the path to parenthood, particularly for same sex couples, can be complicated. Historically, if and when a same sex couple terminated its relationship, unless a person could present a biological connection to their child(ren), the party without a biological connection to the child(ren) could find themselves kicked to the curb not only by their partner, but by a domestic relations court. The times appear to be changing, albeit slowly, as to standing and parental rights.
