Struggle over 'ownership' of baby split gay parents

Another instalment in the Amazing Adventures of Reproductive Technology. Baby E was born in Melbourne in 2008. His mother and her partner were lesbians. To conceive the boy, they held a "baby summit" with a friendly gay couple who agreed to donate sperm on alternate months until a baby was conceived. After the birth, the friendly relationship broke down. The men wanted to share the child's life but the women banned them. The men sued and the case ended up before the Australian Family Court. The judge decided all four had parental rights.
