In a revolutionary sentence, a
Naples appeals court on Thursday recognised the non-biological
mother in a lesbian couple as the mother of a child from its
birth.
The second mum is also a birth mother, the court ruled,
because "she accepted and shared the project of assisted
procreation".
The court upheld an appeal on stepchild adoption of a child
born from her partner using assisted fertility.
The second mother has been awarded the status of birth mother
and not just adoptive mother.
