Parents By Sperm Donation Should Be Very Concerned About This Idaho Supreme Court Ruling

You probably know the refrain: No attorney was involved here.

Excerpt- “On September 24, 2021, the Supreme Court of Idaho issued an opinion in the case of Gatsby v Gatsby. In its decision, the court addressed a situation where a same-sex female couple split, and only one was genetically related to their child. Incredibly, the court found that a nonbiologically related spouse in a couple who conceived by sperm donation was not a legal parent of the resulting child. Moreover, the ruling called into question the rights of all nonbiologically connected parents in the state who conceived through sperm donation.”
