California Court of Appeal

Affirmed that a child should be legally recognized as having three parents -- the biological mother, her husband, and her coworker who fathered the child -- in a case where the coworker petitioned for legal confirmation of his paternal rights. The ruling was based on preventing detriment to the child, who was bonded to all three adults because they all had been involved in raising the child.
