Allow both members of all same-sex female couples to be on birth certificates

Petition Details

Give unmarried same-sex female couples who live together automatic rights to be on their child's birth certificate, even if their child was conceived outside of a licensed clinic using a private donor.

Additional Information

Give equal rights to same sex-couples. For heterosexual couples any man can be included on the birth register if the parents sign the register together. A man is also allowed to be added to a birth certificate if they did not attend the registration but marry the mother at a later date. This isn't the case for same sex-couples. We are not treated as equal in a society that consistently claims to have equal rights for all.
