This is horrendous!  Defective sperm will undoubtedly create another
homo. This is child abuse at its worst to be sure.

(Reuters) - A Florida judge has approved the adoption of a 22-month-
old baby girl that will list three people as parents on her birth
certificate -- a married lesbian couple and a gay man.

The decision ends a two-year paternity fight between the couple and a
friend of the women who donated his sperm to father the child but
later sought a larger role in the girl's life.

The ruling means the child's birth certificate will include a
biological father and both women as parents in an unusual arrangement
approved recently by a Miami-Dade Circuit Court judge.

The women, Maria Italiano, 43, and Cher Filippazzo, 38, had made
several unsuccessful attempts to become parents using fertility
clinics.

They then turned to Italiano's hair dresser, Massimiliano Gerina, and
asked if he would provide his sperm for artificial insemination.

"When push came to shove, they figured he would understand the
situation," said Kenneth Kaplan, an attorney for the women.

"The mistake they made, however, was there should have been a written
document spelling out what his rights and responsibilities were going
to be."

According to Filippazzo, the three reached a verbal agreement before
Italiano became pregnant. Filipazzo said the agreement meant she would
adopt the baby and the two women, a longtime couple, would raise the
child together.

But shortly before the baby was born, Gerina decided he wanted to be
considered a parent and not a sperm donor. The women disagreed. Under
Florida law, sperm donors have no legal rights to children.

Gerina hired a lawyer, setting off nearly two years of legal
wrangling.

Under the judge's decision, the two women will have sole parental
rights, although Gerina will be allowed to visit the child. He will
not be expected to provide child support.

"We're trying to do the right thing for Emma," Filippazzo said. "We
want Emma to have it all, and we believe by doing it this way,
including him in a birthday or Thanksgiving, it'll be a nice addition
for her."

"We believe the best interest for Emma is for him to have a role in
her life, but not as a parent," she said. "The role is this is mommy's
good friend who helped your moms have you because they wanted you so
badly."
