On any birth record registered under this paragraph, the state registrar or his or her designated representative shall certify by his or her signature that: 69.14(2)(b)8.b.b. The state registrar or his or her designated representative has reviewed the evidence submitted under subd. 3. 69.14(2)(b)8.c.c. The abstract under subd. 7. accurately reflects the nature and content of the evidence submitted under subd. 3. 69.14(2)(c)(c) This subsection does not apply to a child who was adopted under the circumstances described in s. 48.97 (2). 69.14(3)(a)(a) Any person who assumes custody of a live born infant of unknown parentage shall file a birth record for the infant within 5 days after assuming custody and shall file the birth record with the following information: 69.14(3)(a)3.3.

(1) (f) 1. b. is not a gender-specific statute violating the right to equal protection. Steinbach v. Gustafson, 177 Wis. 2d 178, 502 N.W.2d 156 (Ct. App. 1993). 69.14 AnnotationEnforcement of surrogacy agreements promotes stability and permanence in family relationships because it allows the intended parents to plan for the arrival of their child, reinforces the expectations of all parties to the agreement, and reduces contentious litigation. The surrogacy agreement in this case was enforceable except for the portions of the agreement requiring a voluntary termination of parental rights (TPR). The TPR provisions did not comply with the procedural safeguards set forth in s. 48.41 for a voluntary TPR because the biological mother would not consent to the TPR and there was no legal basis for involuntary termination. The TPR provisions were severable. Rosecky v. Schissel, 2013 WI 66, 349 Wis. 2d 84, 833 N.W.2d 634, 11-2166. 69.14 AnnotationArkansas state law generally requires the name of the mother’s male spouse to appear on the child’s birth certificate, regardless of his biological relationship to the child, but did not require that birth certificates include the female spouses of women who gave birth in the state. That differential treatment infringes the commitment of Obergefell, 576 U.S. 644 (2015), to provide same-sex couples the constellation of benefits that the states have linked to marriage. Under Obergefell, a state may not exclude same-sex couples from civil marriage on the same terms and conditions as opposite-sex couples. Pavan v. Smith, 582 U.S. 563, 137 S. Ct. 2075, 198 L.
