Feb 13 (Reuters) - A married same-sex couple on Friday asked a federal court to force Indiana state and county officials to name both of the women as parents on their newborn son's birth certificate.
Ashlee and Ruby Henderson were married in November in Indiana and Ruby Henderson gave birth in December to a son through artificial insemination, but state and local officials have refused to list both as parents on his birth certificate.

It isn't like birth certificates are accurate anyway. It isn't a matter of genes, but legal stuff. No reason to not list both parents in a same sex couple.

Here it doesn't matter who the father is, if you are married, your spouses name goes in.
