In the area of legal parenthood, however, significant questions remain unanswered. In Transforming Law's Family, Fiona Kelly explores the complex issues encountered by planned lesbian families as they work to define their parental rights, roles, and family structures within the tenets of family law. While Canadian courts recognize lesbian parenthood in some circumstances, a number of issues that are largely unique to planned lesbian families--such as the legal status of known sperm donors and non-biological mothers--persist. Drawing on interviews with lesbian mothers, this groundbreaking book illuminates the changing definitions of family and suggests a model for law reform that would enable the legal recognition of alternative forms of parentage. The first empiricle study in Canada to address the legal dimensions of planned lesbian families, this book makes an important contribution to family law, queer studies, and law reform literature"--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Lesbian mothers $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Canada. 650 0 $a Lesbian couples as parents $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Canada. 650 0 $a Lesbian mothers $x Family relationships $z Canada. 650 0 $a Lesbian mothers $z Canada $v Interviews. 650 0 $a Parent and child (Law) $z Canada. 650 0 $a Law reform $z Canada. 830 0 $a Law and society series (Vancouver, B.C.) $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2001044761 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171226024247.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2F67DF82EA0B11E7B6F5700597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
