“The Parentage Act is a significant step forward from Connecticut’s formerly antiquated parentage laws, which left many children without the protection of a legal relationship with their parents.” CT Law Tribune via @lawdotcom https://t.co/WZIjb42ZCZ #CPA2021

[We Care for Parentage Equality @wecarect]

We are thrilled to prepare for this law taking effect on Jan 1, 2022! Learn more details at https://t.co/bvYqbvuPg9.

The Connecticut Parentage Act is trending. Passed #CTLeg extends protections to children regardless of their birth or their parent's marital status, gender, or sexual orientation giving all children in the Nutmeg State access to legal parentage.

In a huge win for fertility access, France passes new law legalizing IVF treatment for single women and women in same-gender relationships. We hope the next step will be full inclusion for transgender people. https://t.co/MNdpXPbRxr

“We already know we are a family, and now with this bill passing, no one can tell us differently."
So excited that We Care parent Stephanie was quoted in this article on the passing of the CPA! https://t.co/3ryCxOuMhp #CPA2021 #CTpoli

The CT Parentage Act ensures all children have equal access to a legal parent-child relationship regardless of their parent’s sexual orientation or gender.
