More and more same-sex partners choose to have their children through assisted reproductive technology. However, China’s legislation on assisted reproductive technology is not perfect, and the reproductive rights of same-sex partners cannot be guaranteed. This paper selects the related issues of lesbian partners with assisted reproductive technology to have children, through literature research, case analysis, comparative research and other methods, based on the legitimacy of the reproductive rights of lesbian partners, to explore the feasibility of parent-child relationship legal identification of lesbian partners. In order to protect the interests of lesbian partners and their children born through human assisted reproductive technology, the corresponding legal recognition model of parent-child relationship should be constructed.
