COURT IN OKLAHOMA TAKES BABY FROM LESBIAN GRANTS CUSTODY TO SPERM DONOR

 By Bob Walsh

 

                                                 Court orders lesbian mother to hand custody of son to sperm donor

                                      Kris Williams and baby

 

Kris Williams was, for a time, married to Rebekah Wilson.  That union dissolved.  They raised a child together for a while.  The biological father was a sperm donor.  The biological mother is Ms. Wilson.  The birth certificate for the rugrat indicates both Wilson and Williams as mothers.  No father in indicated.

After two years and some change their marriage failed.  Ms. Wilson got a Victim Protection Order against Ms. Williams in November of 2021.  Ms. Williams moved in together with Mr. Vaughn.  Vaughn is the baby's biological father.  The two are now in a relationship and are seeking custody of the rugrat.  

A great deal of the legality involves the fact that Ms. Williams made no move to adopt the child while she was in the relationship with Ms. Wilson.  She asserts that she in on the birth certificate as a mother and there is no legal justification for requiring that a parent adopt their own child to gain a custodial relationship.  

There is no case law in Oklahoma that directly addresses this issue.  The district court took their best shot.

Just goes to show you, gay people and bi people can be just as fucked up as straight people.
