Curiale v. Reagan – a legal case in which the non-biological lesbian mother, Curiale, was bailing for her co-parenting rights to a child born to them via artifical insemination of Reagan. Because Curiale was not the biological mother, the court was unable to achknowledge her as a de facto parent and thus she had no basis to maintain co-parent rights to the child. This is important because it shows the difficulty court faces in determining whether a woman who is not a genetic, birth, or adoptive mother can be granted legitimate mother status.
