Maria Hayman delivered the twins, Merida and Finn, in June 2013. Joanie Hayman contributed the eggs after they were fertilized with sperm from a donor who revoked his parental life. Virginia
law will now permit both of their names to be on their children's birth certificates.

A ruling on a gay paternity case in Richmond, VA has made it possible for the names of both same sex parents to appear on birth certificates.  Now a Virginia lesbian couple who have a set of twins through surrogacy has  peace of mind that they can be legally recognized as a family in public.  There's is a story many gay couple with children share.
