Grf. I'm sorry that you and Jen have to deal with this. So frustrating for a state that legally recognizes your marriage. Un-cool...most un-cool.

You would think that they would have updated the form by now. I mean, we can't be the first same-sex married couple having a baby in this state! They DID update the marriage license forms, so it's POSSIBLE. Just fix the form!

if the judge doesn't approve her, I will go down to boston and BEAT THEM.

[judecorp]

Well, I /think/ the approval is a formality. But I will certainly call you if a beat down is necessary. :)

::sigh:: Frustrating, not cool, and stupid - but infinitely better than the less than savoury alternatives.

[judecorp]

True, true.

Of course, we still need to go through second parent adoption proceedings, because I doubt our kid's weird birth certificate will hold up in another state.

What bunk. Bunkety, bunk, bunk, bunk.

Um, do you happen to have Michelle's number handy? I might have need to give her a call in the next few months.

I am anticipating that my kid will have hir own birth certificate weirdness - I'm legally male, thus, in Ontario at least, a father not a mother. I'm wondering what would happen if I were to give birth in MA?

[judecorp]

I'm sure I will have these helpful documents for a good long time. Would you like her number now, or for the happy event?

And yeah, I will be interested LIKE WOAH to find out what you will have to do. That will be so curious!

I wonder what would happen if you listed Jen as the mother...

[judecorp]

Well, good question. I think the hospital would bug, because I'm pretty sure they expect me to do it.

[judecorp]

I know, right? SO WEIRD.
