New Birth Certificate Policy in NYC

Silive.com reports that the New York City Board of Health voted on Tuesday, March 24th to allow lesbian couples to list both women as parents on their child's birth certificate from the outset where one of them gives birth. Male couples are still unable to list both of their names on the birth certificate at the outset because of the requirement to list the name of the birth mother and must still go through the legal adoption process.
