Children born through in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) to lesbian mothers will have the same rights as those of heterosexual couples, under law changes announced by the NSW government.
Attorney-General John Hatzistergos said he had accepted NSW Law Reform recommendations extending "parental presumption" provisions to cover gay mums.
It was estimated 20 per cent of the state's female same-sex couples had children, Mr Hatzistergos said.
The change affects those born through IVF or artificial fertilisation only, by granting parenting rights and obligations to the non-biological mother.

Are you currently in an interracial lesbian relationship?
Are you or your current partner:
*In the process of conceiving through known or unknown donor insemination?
*Pregnant from donor insemination?
OR
*Do you have biological children through donor insemination?
I believe that everyone, regardless of their gender or sexual orientation, should have the right to have a child. I realize that there are many lesbians who would like to conceive a child but do not have a suitable sperm donor. I am willing to help. I have never done something like this before, but I want to give it a chance. I am a handsome white male, in his early thirties, healthy, never did drugs and never engaged in high risk sex. I am educated, very intelligent, and have a cheerful, respectful, and optimistic personality.
