Can this support me as an LGBTQ non-biological mother when baby was conceived using anonymous donor sperm from a bank?

Yes, absolutely! This is actually a very common situation we help families with, and Florida law supports you.

Here's what applies to your situation:

Since the baby was conceived using anonymous donor sperm from a sperm bank, that donor has no parental rights — he's legally not considered a parent. This makes your adoption much simpler. There's no absent parent to serve or get consent from.

For LGBTQ families in Florida:

• If you're married to the biological mother, you can complete a stepparent adoption. Florida recognizes same-sex marriage, so you have the same adoption rights as any other married stepparent.

• If you're not married but are in a committed relationship, Florida also allows what's called a "second parent adoption" or "co-parent adoption" — you can still adopt even without being married to establish your full legal parental rights.

Why this matters:

Right now, as the non-biological mother, you likely have no legal rights to your child — you can't make medical decisions, can't enroll them in school, can't get a passport for them, and if something happened to the biological mother, you'd have no automatic custody rights. The adoption fixes all of that permanently. You become the child's legal parent as if you had given birth to them yourself.

The process for your situation:

Since there's no other legal parent, the biological mother would consent to your adoption (she'd sign as a co-petitioner), and the court would grant the adoption. No home study required in Florida for stepparent/second parent adoptions. The whole process takes about 3 months.

Cost: $349 for our service + ~$401 Pasco County filing fee + ~$50 background check = roughly $800 total.

Are you and the biological mother married, or would this be a second parent adoption? And how old is the baby?
