Legalities

There's so much legal stuff involved in lesbian parenting. We have to have a signed donor agreement, my partner has to adopt the baby after his/her birth, we have to make sure we're covered legally in case something happens to me during childbirth. I had someone say to me "well, why don't you just sleep with a guy?" Well, then he can claim the baby as his own, he can take away my parental rights if he wants. There are a lot of reasons I can't do that. But god, when I'm faced with a five page donor agreement that I have to go through line by line to be sure it's what we want... it's tempting.
