But as the issue of LGBT parenting increases is there adequate legal support?

According to the San Francisco-based National Center for Lesbian Rights the answer is no. In response to the estimated 5,000 calls a year to its helpline – 50 percent of the calls received were either from lawyers or people seeking legal help for queer family issues – NCLR has launched the Family Protection Project.

The project is the brainchild of Cathy Sakimura, 27, an equal justice law fellow and former NCLR law clerk, who received $75,000 for two years to develop the project in partnership with NCLR, which is providing half of the funding out of its $4.1 million annual budget along with support from an anonymous donor who is providing an additional $37,500.
