Olivia's lawyer, Catherine Wong, said she was "elated" by the decision

"It's a sign we're seeing that the law is actually catching up to the reality of polyamorous families or multi-parent families in British Columbia," Wong said.

"In that sense, it's a very important case because it recognizes the diversity of families in B.C. and that the law was not working for all families until now."

Could not have done this without the collaboration and support of Zara Suleman and Monique Shebbeare!

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has ordered that all three members of a polyamorous “triad” should be listed as parents on the birth certificate of the two-and-a-half-year-old boy they are raising together as a family.
