Jason Hanna and Joe Riggs, who married in DC last year, fathered twin boys via a surrogate, CharLynn.
Hanna and Riggs each biologically fathered one of the boys, who also share an egg donor, but due to Texas law no father is listed on either birth certificate.
The couple petitioned a judge in their county to add their names to their biological sons birth certificates, and to cross-adopt, but last week both requests were denied.
Due to the complexity of the law in the case, it is unclear what legal rights the couple have to protect their family, but they said they would not give up, and will fight the state for rights to their month-old sons.
