“Nobody should face barriers when it comes to being recognized as the parent of their own child.'
A new Colorado law clears existing hurdles for couples who become parents through assisted reproduction.
The new law removes the baseline requirement for home visits, fingerprinting or criminal record searches, and in-person court hearings. Among other changes, the law requires simply that affected parents file a petition containing basic information, including a child’s birth certificate, and that the court certify proper petitions within 30 days.
HB22-1153 was overwhelmingly supported by the legislature, passing unanimously in the Senate and by a vote of 53 to 11 in the House. “Prior to this law, my wife would have needed to go through the expensive and ill-fitting step-parent adoption process just to be recognized as the legal mother of our child,” said Esgar, a Pueblo Democrat.
