To the extent that a gay couple wants to preserve the traditional connection between that biological parent and his offspring, however, the adult side of the family becomes more of a non-traditional threesome. Polygamy by proxy.
Will the child's birth father/mother also be covered under the loving couple's insurance?
Will visitation rights be protected?

Will the child's birth father/mother also be covered under the loving couple's insurance?
No, because under this arrangement, the birth father/mother are simply considered sperm/egg donors. They sign a contract to disavow any future relationship with the child for a handsome fee ( I'm not sure if Michael Jackson's arrangement fit this category ).
I can see this scenario as being another business that will experience some growth if marriage becomes redefined. No longer will one need to work, all one has to do is be willing to donate his/her sperm/egg and he can make a living.
