California Assembly Advances ‘Third Parent’ Bill

Yesterday, the California Assembly voted 51–26 to advance SB 1476, which allows judges to recognize that some children have more than two parents. This would protect, for example, same-sex couples who wish to keep their donor or surrogate connected to their child’s life. The bill will return to the Senate for a concurring vote on amendments made in the Assembly, and presuming passage, will then head to the Governor’s desk.
