In Transforming Law's Family, Fiona Kelly explores thecomplex
issues encountered by planned lesbian families as they work
todefine their parental rights, roles, and family structures within
thetenets of family law. While Canadian courts recognize
lesbianparenthood in some circumstances, a number of issues that
are largelyunique to planned lesbian families – such as the legal
status ofknown sperm donors and non-biological mothers – remain
undefined.Drawing on interviews with lesbian mothers, Fiona Kelly
illuminates thechanging definitions of family and suggests a model
for law reform thatwould enable the legal recognition of
alternative forms of parentage.
