Woman asks court for status as boy's third parent

An Ontario woman is asking the courts to officially recognize her as the third legal parent of a five-year-old boy she is raising with her same-sex partner.
The application, if allowed, is believed to mark the first time in Canada that a child would have more than two legal parents.
The biological father and mother and her female partner must remain anonymous because of a court ruling protecting their identities.
"The family has evolved over the years in a way that the law should recognize the reality of this little boy," the father's lawyer, Alfred Mamo, told The Canadian Press
The original application made three years ago, which seeks a declaration of parenthood, would give the mother's same-sex partner the same rights as if she were a biological parent.
That application failed because the family court ruled it did not have the authority to make a judgment on the case.
The applicant appealed, arguing she was in a special situation because same-sex couples require assisted human reproduction.
She contended that if the law does not make room for three legal parents, it is a violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantee of equality.
"It's discriminatory, because one of them gets legally recognized ... the non-biological mother is equally part of the process except for the biological bits,'' said the woman's lawyer, Peter Jervis.
The case has provoked heated response from several religious groups, including the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, the Catholic Civil Rights League, the Christian Legal Fellowship and Focus on the Family.
The Alliance for Marriage and Family has filed a brief on behalf of these groups, stating its belief children can only have two parents under family law in Canada.
Janet Epp Buckingham of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada said that to change the law "You would need to have the full hearings in the provincial parliament and it should be a legislated change.''
Meanwhile, the Institute of Marriage and Family Canada has issued a statement arguing that reproductive technologies are redefining parenthood in ways that may hurt children.
They cited a report that says the growing use of egg and sperm donors, high rates of divorce and single-parent childbearing and support for same-sex marriage are putting the interests of adults before the needs of children.
"Radical changes to our public norm of parenthood in law and public policy are challenging one of the most fundamental tasks of human culture, namely the struggle to forge strong healthy connections between children and their biological parents," says Dan Cere, director of the Institute for the Study of Marriage, Law and Culture, one of the four think tanks sponsoring the report, and McGill University professor of religion, ethics, and public policy.
"Breaking ranks with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, Canadian law now elevates the rights of adults to children over the rights of children to their birth parents."

Many people and religious groups have warned politicians that same sex marriage was the slippery slope to more extreme anti-christian practices such as artificial insemination.A family has always consisted and always should consist of two parents, NOT 3.The homofacists have always had a hidden agenda to crush the christian structure of our values and to bring down the christian faith and oppress us christians.We should strongly encourage MP's to vote in favour of the traditional definition of marriage to save us from all of this bullshit.Homofacist's only care about themselves.They are part of the me me I'm entitled to my entitlements culture.
they first cried for equal rights in the charter, then they asked for hate legislation in order to silence those who oppose same sex marriage, then they passed ssm, now they are bringin down the whole family structure and killin christianity while at it.

But need not fret, for when they enter the Kingdom of Heaven, like all of us, they shall be Judged by the Almighty Lord and Saviour, whom they have turned their backs on and persecuted his followers.They shall also be judged just like the ret of us, when Christ returns.

The politicians who are christian, but voted for ssm just to get votes did the same thing as Peter before Jesus was crucified.Like Peter, they denied Jesus three times.
1.Adding gays to hate legislation to silence those who oppose ssm.
2.voting for ssm
3.Messin up and crappin all over the family structure while denying it.This article proves em wrong.
