Thanks, Kwynne, for pointing out the story that lesbian parents in New Jersey will now both be listed on their babies’ birth certificates.

Mombian recommends that New Jersey moms follow the advice that the National Center for Lesbian Rights gave to California moms who both appear on the birth certificate. Get a legal ruling that you are both this child’s parents anyway.
These are the moments when I hear a faint chorus of “We shall overcome, someday” in my head. Yes, we’re making progress. But it isn’t exactly fast. Or inexpensive.
