A parent’s right to maintain a relationship with his/her child lies within the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution; however, this right does not apply to every type of parent. Although the U.S. Supreme Court granted same-sex couples the right to marry, they still face parental rights issues when their child(ren) are nonbiological or nonadoptive because they lack standing for custody and/or visitation as de facto parents. Moreover, the rise of nontraditional same-sex-couple families has been placing states in a predicament, and the lack of uniform rights for de facto parents creates great inconsistency across the United States. The creation of a uniform statute with specific elements distinguishing de facto parents from mere caretakers will grant same-sex nonbiological parents standing and create uniformity across the United States.

血不能证明我的关系是正当的：同性伴侣和他们为成为事实上的父母而战

父母与其子女保持关系的权利属于美国宪法第十四修正案；然而，这项权利并不适用于所有类型的父母。尽管美国最高法院授予同性伴侣结婚的权利，但当他们的孩子是非亲生的或非领养的时，他们仍然面临父母权利问题，因为他们缺乏作为事实上的父母的监护权和/或探视权。此外，非传统同性伴侣家庭的兴起使各州陷入困境，事实上的父母缺乏统一的权利，在美国各地造成了很大的不一致。制定具有特定要素的统一法规，将事实上的父母与单纯的看护人区分开来，将赋予同性非亲生父母地位，并在美国各地建立统一性。
