Last names and birth certificates??

I thought you could name any man on a birth certificate and if he signs it that's it- he's the Dad. Unless he or another man wants to contest it with a DNA test (which obviously wouldn't come up in your case).

I am pretty sure they aren't wanting to name ANY man on the birth certificate meow

We are in WA and used an unknown donor,
Our our buba boy's birth cert if states mother 1 (Me, Tummy Mummy) & mother 2 (my partner- other mummy)

We don't have a section for father der cause our bubs doesn't have one.
We had to ring briths/deaths & Marriages to get a special birth cert application form

congrats on your bub buy the way

I found this on the NSW births, deaths and Marriages website;

to obtain a "Same Sex Parents Birth Registration Statement". The Miscellaneous Act Amendment Act came into effect on 17 September 2008. Subject to the requirements of the Act, both women in a same sex defacto relationship may now be recognised on their child's birth certificate.

So you have to contact them about this.

I assume this is what Leasha is talking about?
