G g g aunt Harriet was a soothsayer :-D

Maggie there still is.




Sorry

Makes me glad mine just intermarried :-D :-D :-D

It was only twice (on one tree branch so far) - and they lived in St Allen, in Cornwall, which had a population of 435 in 2001, so goodness knows how low it was in the 18th century!
..as for the Suffolk lot - even my gran's great aunt admitted in 1936, aged 100, that she 'Remembered when the village consisted of 3 surnames - and yes there were 'idiots', but there were idiots in Lunnon (London) too, weren't there?!!' :-D :-S :-D

Well Maggie, ive just been reading the info on the link you gave.Crikey very complicated!
But it would seem that the birth mother is the actual legal parent that goes on the certificate and the other person if they are married would be legal parent number 2. The donor doesn't have any parental rights at all.But at 18 the child can obtain information about the donor.


Imagine trying to sort that out on the family tree :-D :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D@ Maggie!

Never thought about that, Florence!! :-D

Then I googled:

I can't make head nor tail of it - but I have had some 'juice' of the grape type :-D :-D

If a storyline in Coronation Street some years ago is correct, Florence, then it would be the woman carrying the baby - If I remember correctly :-D

Can anyone shed light on this scenario?

2 females marry which is perfectly legal.They decide to have a baby.Wife 1 donates her egg with a donor sperm and has the embryo implanted into wife 2.


When the child is born and the birth registered, who's name is placed on the birth certificate as the mother, as the wife carrying the baby wouldn't actually be the biological mother of the child?


Has anyone come across this situation before?


Comments please
