In 2016, Cecilia went to the civil registry in the Mexican city of Tlaquepaque, Jalisco to obtain the birth certificate of her newborn daughter with the last names of her two mothers. Cecilia's daughter was born into a lesbian-maternal family and Cecilia is her non-biological mother, which is why the civil registry refused to include her last name on the document – leaving her as a simple witness to the process.

That is why Cecilia is demanding the legal recognition of her motherhood, and four years later she won a victory. The ruling says that the record must be corrected. Now, we need the civil registry to correct Cecilia's daughter’s birth certificate to include the last names of both her mothers. The girl has the right to her identity, and it is the job of the civil registry to give her that legal certainty and comply with the legal ruling.

That is why we are seeking the support of Jalisco state authorities to ensure the error committed in 2016 by the civil registry is corrected. We are also demanding that lesbian motherhood be recognized and respected throughout the state, and that there never be a child of a lesbian mother without the last names of both their mothers.
