[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again, maybe I'm being obtuse, but I'm having trouble imagining how we'd lose our child if

- one of us gave birth to her
- if we split, neither of us challenged the other for parentage
- if one of us died, our extended families didn't challenge parentage of the surviving spouse
- if both of us died... well, we'd be dead and have designated caretakers in our will and have spoken with the individuals whom would take care of our child upon our death and they've agreed to serve in this role

What am I missing?[/quote]

People get weird and vindictive when they split.  I'm in a group of 500 divorced lesbians and there are awful, bitter custody stories between people who presumably once loved and trusted each other.  And, I imagine families also get weird when they tragically lose an adult child, and maybe fear losing access to a grandchild.  If you had asked me when my child was born whether I would be divorced three years later, I would have said there was no realistic chance of that ever happening.[/quote]
