Hi, I just signed up. I'm pleased to find there is a forum for people like me. I'm a happily married bi female. About six months ago, me and my husband opened our relationship to admit our girlfriend who now lives with us. It's been a real journey and adjustment, but I love both of them very much and we're adapting to this new life together. We are an exclusive trio and just found out yesterday that she's expecting my DH's child. It's an amazing gift...I'm a stepmom to a young teenage boy (we have him every other weekend) but have never had any children of my own. Now that I feel mature enough to handle full-time motherhood, I'm nearly too late to have a child and don't want to gamble with the risk of an unhealthy pregnancy. Our girl is a vibrant younger woman and she's excited about having our baby. We've agreed we will all be equals in parenting.
Now that the initial shock has worn off my little brain is going round and round considering all the ramifications. I wish to somehow formalize our union and accept legal responsibility for this child, but I know of no such provisions in the American legal system. Any advice for an expecting but non-pregnant mom?
