The state of Tennessee will allow two mothers or two fathers to be on the birth certificate. . .when I had a partner our plan was to have a scheduled C-section or induction in TN because we live in AL. . .but now that I have no partner. . I don't have to do that extra traveling. . .Good Luck!

For anyone else that may be reading this and have the same question. . .the state of TN will allow both mothers to be on the birth certificate as well. . .I'm in AL and when I had a partner the plan was to go to TN for labor and delivery so both our names would be on the certificate. . .

thanks so much for this great roundup!

2 moms on birth certificate

my2moms — Sat, 03 May 2008 13:23:05 -0700

Our first daughter was born in MA where we are legally married and we are both on her birth certificate. One as mother and one as second parent. With our newest daughter, she was born in ME where we are "roomates" so right now only the biological mom is on the birth certificate and the father space in blank. But we are in the process of a 2nd parent adoption (which have been legal here for less than a year) and then we will both be on the birth certificate!

Thanks

Thanks, Jeff.
I'm still trying to figure out how to reply. I hope I haven't ignored your message for a long time!

we had our baby

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 21:57:56 -0700

my partner and i had our baby in San Francisco. his birth certificate has both of our names on it. i am listed as the father since she was the one who carried the baby. even with my name on the birth certificate we were still afraid that we might have a problem if he were to get ill in other states. so we applied for me to legally adopt him. we had an social worker to come and visit and check my background. in 6 plus months i became his adopted parent. we went to court and got sworn in and sign papers. Now I carry a copy of his birth certificate and the legal paper that shows i am his legal parent in my wallet. it is scary and we did everything to try to protect him and us. we started to write our will too.

aww

Wasn't this story found out to be a "crock" like her "dodging bullets" in Bosnia? Wow. If anyone else was telling these woppers, they'd be "run out of town on a rail" as the expression goes. She tells such a bizarre story, and then just says "I mispoke" and thats the end of it? But then we learned from ol Billy Boy that the Clintons have a strange veiw of "truth."

That confirms my beliefs,

That confirms my beliefs, it's getting harder and harder to be a parent these days. Kids face many risks and many temptations, school is not a safe place anymore and that's because it has become a target for drugs. How can a parent control that?

And perhaps those 300 want him back simply because they miss their accustomed victim.

I am a preschool teacher, and see this happen quite frequently! Your daughter wants you to know that she is sad that you are going, but her teacher was right in asking you to say good-bye and leave. The longer you stay or come back into the room for one more hug/kiss, the longer she will stay upset and the longer it will take her to calm down. I hope she is loving her school. May I ask what you did to "prepare" the school and teachers for your unique family? I have yet to have this experience, and want to be prepared for when my partner and I have children.
