All that really matters is that you have a parent(or two or an extended
family or sometihng simmilar - the more the better, of course) that
loves and cares for the child more than they do for themselves.

Most gay or lesbian couples get around this by having a child
themselves - either giving birth to or getting a surrogate to
help out. Then there's no legal problems.
