Indiana court rules egg donor can seek maternity rights - But Don't Be Alarmed!

Egg Donation - Don't be alarmed, but an egg donor has been conferred parental rights, BUT it is because she is the mother and her sister is the surrogate. Although this case shocked me when I first heard about it, all is good. Good case for Indiana.

Here is the story: Indiana court rules egg donor can seek maternity rights

"A northern Indiana woman who says she donated the egg to conceive a child that was carried by her sister can have her name listed as mother on the boy's birth certificate if she can prove in court that she is his biological mother.

The Indiana Court of Appeals issued the ruling Wednesday in the case of the child referred to in documents as Infant R.

A Porter circuit judge had denied the woman's maternity petition, saying that the birth mother was the legal mother under state law.

But the Court of Appeals ruled that DNA should determine who is the child's legal mother. The ruling says that means the woman known as V.G. in court records must be given the chance to prove in court that she is the child's mother."
