[quote=Anonymous]I think it is a lovely thing to offer.  However, Virginia is a deal breaker, I think (and I live in VA).  Have you read about the ongoing tragedy of the couple from Vermont who had a child during a civil union in Vermont, but then one mother fled to VA and decided she was a born again Christian rather than a lesbian?  Virginia courts consistently refused to recognize any rights of the mother in Vermont.  Judges move around.  If your husband were not the legal father of the child, his sister may be left with no legal rights at all if they ever split up.  Could you and your DH bear the idea of his child being in the world without being able to see it and have any part in its life?  I'm dealing with a lesser tragedy -- my brother died and his widow wants nothing to do with us -- and it breaks by heart every day to know his kids are in the world but can't really be part of our family.  I'm sure your SIL thinks this could never happen, but so did the Vermont mom who hadn't seen her daughter for years.  [/quote]
