Naku, mahirap mangyari ang inyong gusto. Kasi, may mga batas tayo at ang mga batas natin ay iyong mga ginawa noong mga panahon na hindi pa uso ang artificial insemination, at hindi pa uso ang LGBT rights. Please allow me to explain.

Una, sa ilalim ng batas, ang may karapatan na magbigay ng apelyido sa bata ay ang kanyang mga biological parents. Ibig sabihin nito, iyon lamang mga taong nag-contribute ng sperm at egg cell ang considered na biological parents. So, iyong affidavit of recognition of paternity na nasa likod ng birth certificate form, ito ay reserved lamang para sa biological father noong sanggol.

Pangalawa, kung sakaling ang biological father ay yumaman (nanalo sa lotto, halimbawa), ang bata ay tagapag-mana noong biological father niya, at kung hindi man siya recognized ng tatay niya voluntarily, puedeng mag-demanda ang bata para i-recognize siya ng tatay niya, para siya ay may karapatang dalhin ang pangalan ng kanyang ama, at para tanawin na tagapag-mana siya ng kanyang ama.

Pangatlo, pag sinabi ninyo kasing ipapangalan sa iyo ang bata, ang gagawin nila ay ipe-fake nila ang mga entry sa birth certificate ng bata. Ilalagay sa ilalim ng "name of father" ay ang iyong pangalan sa halip na ang name ng kanyang biological father. Ito po ay falsification of public document. Ito po ay isang criminal offense. At ito din ay isang simulation of birth, ibig sabihin, pagkukunwari na may naipanganak na bata sa mga magulang na hindi naman niya tunay na magulang. Sa ilalim kasi ng International Rights of the Child, ang bata ay may karapatan sa pangalan at sa identity (See article 7 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. http://www.ohchr.org/EN/ProfessionalInterest/Pages/CRC.aspx ). Dito nakasaad:

Article 7.
1. The child shall be registered immediately after birth and shall have the right from birth to a name, the right to acquire a nationality and. as far as possible, the right to know and be cared for by his or her parents.

2. States Parties shall ensure the implementation of these rights in accordance with their national law and their obligations under the relevant international instruments in this field, in particular where the child would otherwise be stateless.

Article 8

1. States Parties undertake to respect the right of the child to preserve his or her identity, including nationality, name and family relations as recognized by law without unlawful interference.

2. Where a child is illegally deprived of some or all of the elements of his or her identity, States Parties shall provide appropriate assistance and protection, with a view to re-establishing speedily his or her identity.

Pang-apat, hindi pa po kasi tanaw ng batas natin na ang babae sa babae ay puedeng magpakasal. Hindi kita nilalait, sinasabi ko lamang kung ano ang nakasaad sa batas. Sa ilalim kasi ng Family Code, ang "marriage" ay isang permanent union between a male and a female. So, since ikaw ay isang biological female (pero ang gender identity mo ay isang male), ikaw ay considered sa ilalim ng batas na female pa rin. At since ang iyong girlfriend ay female din, hindi kayo puedeng maging married. Hindi din kayo puede, biologically speaking, magkaroon ng anak, dahil nga sa pareho naman ang inyong reproductive organs na female. Sa reproductive science kasi, reproduction is only possible through the fertilization of the human egg cell by a human sperm cell. The human egg cell is produced by females and the human sperm cell is produced by males. Kaya, hindi puedeng iparehistro na sa iyo ang bata, ikaw ang ama, kasi, hindi naman sa iyo nanggaling ang sperm cell na nagbuo sa bata. (no offense meant, okay?)

Pang-lima, ang puede lang na maging magulang sa ilalim ng mga batas ng adoption ay iyong mga mag-asawa. kasi ang purpose ng adoption ay mabigyan ng family life ang isang bata, kung hindi kasal ang mga mag-aampon, sila ay hindi makakapag-bigay ng family life (hindi ako ang may akda nito, ito ang pananaw ng batas). Since hindi pa recognized ang same-sex marriage sa Pilipinas (naku, maski nga divorce hindi puede dito sa Pilipinas), hindi din puede na mag-ampon ang mga same-sex couples.

So, ano ang puedeng gawin? Iparehistro ng ina ang bata sa ilalim ng kanyang pangalan. Pero, hindi puedeng ilagay ang pangalan mo na father. If you register the father under your name as father, you will open yourself to possible criminal sanctions. That is how the law stands today.
