Reunite our friend with her daughter

Our friend is desperate to see her baby again, please help her challenge a law that has taken everything from her.

Auckland

It’s not uncommon in this day and age to have two Mums or two Dads and families are made up of whoever loves and is committed to raising that child or children. Of course conception can be tricky for same sex couples.

Our friend was fortunate enough to have a donor come forward and offer to help her and her partner create a family.

Their precious addition arrived in good health to two loving parents.

Despite ticking all the legal boxes, a loop hole was discovered, and our friend must now fund an uphill battle against a woman she loved and a legal system who does not recognize her as her child's parent.

We cannot disclose anyone's names or photos, we cannot offer you details, but we also cannot sit and watch our friends heart break as she misses all the important milestones of her child'd life.

We have been silenced to ensure that we don't in any way disrupt the legal proceedings but we will not let our friend be silenced.

For those of you who have arrived at this page because you know our friend and you have seen her go to hell and back this will make sense.

If you have stumbled onto this page, this is the most heart wrenching, jaw dropping having-a-cry-at-the-fridge-eating-ice-cream-screaming-out-Adele-lyrics cases of injustice you can imagine.

I beg you to please help make sure that money is not the reason she cannot see her baby. Please help us reunite our beautiful friend with her child.

Please also offer your kind words, we will be making sure she hears every bit of encouragement and support. Knowing that she has the love of the LGBTQ community and supporters out there will mean more than you will know.

Administration Family's involvement (page creator)

I'm involved coz it hurts to watch someone in as much pain as she's in. She is a good friend and a wonderful person and this can't be allowed to happen.

Use of funds

All money will be presented to our friend or given straight to her lawyers for the legal fees

Made it over the first hurdle  26 February 2018

Great news everyone, she has won the right to go to court. After failing at negotiation and attempts at mediation she now has the courts permission to proceed legally. This is a massive win and hopefully one of many to come. A massive thank you to everyone who has helped get her to this point.
