Three Parents Allowed On Birth Certificate

A Miami-Dade judge signed off an allowing a lesbian couple and a gay man to all be on a baby girl’s birth certificate.

Hair stylist Massimilano Gerina of Miami Beach met lesbian couple Maria Italiano and Cher Filippazzo in 2006 when they became clients of his, eventually building a strong friendship. Italiano and Filippazzo were trying to conceive and approached Gerina first in 2008 and then a second time in late 2009, to be the father of their baby.

“They wanted me to be the father of the baby, because they liked me and my look and how I am Italian like Maria is,” Gerina said. The trio originally had a verbal agreement where they discussed that “I was going to be the father of the baby and I would be able to see her whenever I wanted. I never thought about papers and I assumed that it was going to happen period, without thinking of the legal point of view.”
