Parental Recognition for Same-Sex Couples Using Donor Insemination

NOTE:
In these states, a child born to a same-sex couple using donor insemination is presumed to be the child of both parents.
In states with relationship recognition, the parents may need to be in a legally recognized relationship, such as a marriage,
civil union or domestic partnership. States with consent-to-inseminate laws grant legal parentage when certain criteria are met.
For more information, contact Human Rights Campaign or Family Equality Council.
