A Consenting Petri Dish...
...Is hard to find. A lesbian couple encountered major hassles from Continental Airlines when they tried to take their children to Mexico, without ìwritten permission from the childrenís fatherî:
ìTo convince check-in employees that the children had no father, Quattrochi had to explain in front of the children and other passengers that they were conceived with donated sperm. Still, the women said, Continental staff refused to let them board the plane.î
When asked about the father, the ladies should have held out a turkey baster and said, "Here it is! You wanna ask him?"

Well, the Mexican government has requirements. To pick on the poor gatekeeper is not fair, especially given the number of stories used by parents who are trying to take children out of the country without permission from the other parent.
