A same-s*x couple’s decision to have a baby via IVF has caused a rift with family members. The couple used the wife’s brother-in-law’s sperm and the wife carried the baby to term. However, when the BIL referred to himself as the father of the child, the couple asked him to leave their home and cut all contact with him and his sister. The couple has faced criticism from family members for not allowing the BIL to have a relationship with the child, but they argue that he signed away his rights and verbally agreed to be just an uncle. The couple is struggling with the fallout and seeking advice on whether they were in the wrong. Read on for more details on this family drama.
