Birth certificates naming two gay dads are now a reality in the UK. Natalie Gamble and Louisa Ghevaert founding partners of one of UK's leading specialist fertility law firms. Gamble & Ghevaert explain these groundbreaking legal changes.
There is definately an art to building a family as a gay man. Times are changing, and the UK's new gay-friendly surrogacy laws are just one example of the options now available.
As of 6 April 2010, an important legal change now enables gay men to apply for a court order making them the joint legal parents if they have a child through surrogacy. The court will trigger the re-issue of their surrogate child's birth certificate so that it names them both as the parents.
It means that gay dads who have a child through surrogacy can now use the UK's surrogacy laws to become full and equal legal parents-and get a birth certificate to prove it.
