Children in California will be able to
legally have three parents under a
new law that critics have branded a
“Trojan horse for the same-sex
marriage agenda.”
The new legislation is designed to
cover situations in which same-sex
couples have a child with an
opposite-sex biological parent.
The bill was partly prompted by a
complicated custody battle in 2011
involving a child of lesbian parents
who was placed in foster care after
one parent ended up in jail and the
other in the hospital.
The child’s biological father was
initially granted parental
responsibilities by a court, but the
decision was later reversed after an
appeals court concluded a child could
not have more than two parents.
“Once we started trying to normalize
parenting by same-sex couples and
redefine marriage to remove the dual
gender requirement, we had to end
up with triple parenting,” says
Jennifer Roback Morse, founder of the
Ruth Institute, which seeks to
promote traditional marriage.
The legislation, signed by Gov. Jerry
Brown, will come into effect at the
beginning of next year, making
California the fifth state in America to
pass such a law.
The bill was sponsored by the
National Center for Lesbian Rights
and by the Children’s Advocacy
Institute at San Diego School of Law.
Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific
Justice Institute, says, “This is, in
the long run, going to be a mistake.”
He adds, “The ones who are going to
pay the price are not the activists,
but it’s going to be children, who will
see greater conflict and indecision
over matters involving their well-
being.”
Dacus says having more than two
legal parents will create the potential
for greater conflict over what is best
for a child and will result in more
complicated court fights.
In 2010, a lesbian mother in the U.K.
lost a bitter custody battle with the
homosexual man who fathered her
two children through artificial
insemination.
Norman Wells, director of the Family
Education Trust, previously warned,
“It’s always a recipe for disaster to
try and create children to order by
artificial means to satisfy the desires
of natural parents who are unrelated
and lack a shared commitment to
parenting.”
