Couple fights to add both moms to baby’s birth certificate in N.S.

“Technically, we don’t know the donor other than their name,” said Caitlin, who said they found the donor online.However, “known donor” was the option that made the most sense, so that’s what she selected at the kiosk. The letter from Vital Statistics says Stacey Lamrock was removed from Gwendolyn’s birth registration because the couple did not conceive using assisted conception.This was news to the Lamrocks, who were unaware of such a policy. Attempts to get further information were unsuccessful, said Caitlin.“We’ve talked to about three or four different people from Vital Stats, and no one is able to give us a reference, any sort of document or legislation, that lists what they’re saying,” she said.
The Lamrocks say Stacey will have to formally adopt baby Gwendolyn in order to be recognized as her parent.Now, the couple’s only option is for Stacey to formally adopt Gwendolyn, which will cost thousands of dollars.That’s what they plan to do, but they weren’t prepared for this additional financial burden — all for a child whom Stacey has loved and cared for since before she was born.
“They are working to address the concerns and are currently in the midst of extensive consultations as they consider modernizing the Vital Statistics Act and regulations to help recognize and respect the diversity of Nova Scotia families,” it said. In response to a question about the couple having to shell out thousands of dollars so one of them can have parental rights to a child they already care for, Service Nova Scotia said: “We appreciate that change in the regulations is necessary.”
