Judge moves with poem in process that recognizes double motherhood in Goiás: 'Mothers in the plural, love that expands'

Judge Coraci Pereira da Silva recognized the double motherhood of a child in Rio Verde (GO). The judge included a poem in the court decision.

The couple has lived together since 2019 and made their union official in May this year. The pregnancy was planned by the two using homemade artificial insemination.

Before the decision, the baby's certificate only had the name of the pregnant mother. The Public Prosecutor's Office was in favor of the request for inclusion.

The sentence was based on the Civil Code and the Federal Supreme Court's understanding of socio-affective bonds. The judge confirmed compliance with legal requirements.

Judge Coraci Pereira da Silva was moved when she wrote a poem in a sentence that recognizes double motherhood in Rio Verde, in the southwest of Goiás. The child was conceived by artificial insemination at home and will have the names of both mothers on the birth certificate, decided the head of the 2nd Family and Succession Court.

The decision containing the poem was made on October 5th. According to the Court of Justice of Goiás (TJGO), the couple has lived together since 2019, but only made their marriage official in May of this year. The two planned the pregnancy together and had a known donor, who accepted the paternity waiver.

Before the judge's sentence, the child only had the name of the mother who gave birth to her on the birth certificate. The mothers filed a request in court to include the other mother's name, and the Public Prosecutor's Office expressed support for the couple's request.

In the poem, the judge spoke about the care and home shared between the couple for the child to grow in harmony. Furthermore, the judge bases the sentence on the basis of the Civil Code, which allows socio-affective affiliation based on daily coexistence.

Furthermore, the judge cited the understanding of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) that recognizes affective and biological bonds at the same time.

Based on this, the judge considered that the request met legal requirements, such as proving that conception occurred with the prior agreement of the partner and the fact that the child was already raised by both of them.

See the poem by judge Coraci Pereira da Silva:

Mothers

Mothers in the plural, love that expands,

Under the protection of great justice,

Under double guard and double affection,

The little being grows slowly.

Childhood's best interest that flourishes

It is absolute north that justice weaves.

Be born, grow and live in harmony

It is a reason for glory, gratitude and joy.

A mother donates her womb, her blood and her care.

The other mother builds the shared home

And family law, attentive to the truth that imposes itself,

Seal the bond that the soul has.

Son of the womb, of childbirth, of good,

With all the rights that a being has,

Receive love, affection and joy,

From both mothers, every day.
