As The Telegraph reports, baby Sacha was born
between midnight and 12:01 a.m. on Jan. 1 in the French town of Moulin,
becoming the nation's first recorded baby of 2013.
Sacha's parents -- identified only as birth mother Maude and her
partner Delphine -- say they hope to marry as soon as it becomes legally
possible to do in their nation. Maude sought out artificial
insemination in neighboring Belgium because same-sex couples are not
able to do so in France.
Although a plan to legalize same-sex marriage and allow gay couples
to adopt was a liberal cornerstone of French President Francois
Hollande's election manifesto earlier this year, the legislative
proposals have proven harder to enact after faith leaders and
conservatives in the mostly Catholic country have mobilized against
them, Reuters
