Societal Rot: Brazil Judge Rules That Baby Has 1 Father, 2 Mothers, 6 Grandparents

9/14/2014

SAO PAULO – A Brazilian judge has ruled that in the civil register, the name of a baby girl may officially appear with the name of the father, two mothers – the biological mother and her current partner – and six grandparents, in an unprecedented decision in this country, according to judicial sources cited Saturday in local media.

Judge Rafael Cuña of the 4th Civil Court of Santa Maria in the southern state of Rio Grande del Sul, bordering Argentina and Uruguay, thus ruled in favor of a plea by the biological parents and the partner of the mother of the baby born last Aug. 27, according to a communique from the state Court of Justice.

The baby was born of the conventional fertilization method and had a normal birth after Luis Guilherme Calfield, a friend of the two women, accepted their request to fertilize the ovum of one of them, on condition that his name would appear as the father in the civil registration of the baby’s birth, and in which the parents of all three would figure as grandparents.

The biological mother, Fernanda Battagli Kropeniscki, 26, and her companion, Mariani Guedes Santiago, 27, have been together for four years and were legally married two years ago.
