Pro-Polyamorous Ruling in California Court
February 24, 2021
(WP) A recent article posted on Out.com describes a court victory for three men engaged in a polyamorous homosexual relationship. The story is partially excerpted below.
For Ian Jenkins, Alan Mayfield, and Jeremy Allen Hodges, it’s all about love and family. The three men are in a committed and healthy relationship, and in 2017, had their first kid, Piper, together using an egg donor and surrogate.
A year and a half ago, they had a second child, Parker. Now, after an intense court battle, they’ve won the right for all three of them to be listed on their children’s birth certificates.
The three dads appeared together on Australian talk show, The Morning Show to explain how hard they had to work to be recognized as parents. “The big challenge for us was really the legal challenges, so with surrogacy, you have to have a parentage order from the court declaring who are going to be the legal parents,” Mayfield said on the show.
“In the beginning we weren’t sure that we could have all three of us on the birth certificate so it became a court process where we argued in court," he continued. "It was a pretty interesting, tense courtroom scene where at first it seemed like we were not going to be granted that, and we asked to speak in court and plead our viewpoint, and the judge ultimately changed her mind and granted us legal parentage of our child before she was born.”
