 The definition of "parent" is still restricted. The parents of a child conceived by natural reproduction are limited to the birth mother and the biological father under section 26 of the ''Family Law Act''. However, for a child conceived by assisted reproduction, the people who sign an assisted reproduction agreement can agree that the child's parents will include:
-#one or two people who intend to have the child;
+*one or two people who intend to have the child,
-#a donor of sperm;
+*a donor of sperm,
-#a donor of eggs;
+*a donor of eggs,
-#a surrogate mother; and,
+*a surrogate mother, and
-#the "spouse" of a surrogate mother,
+*the "spouse" of a surrogate mother,
 for a total of six people who can be the "parents" of a child for all purposes of the law of British Columbia. These limits are important, as it is a child's ''parents'' who are presumed, in most cases, to be the child's ''guardians'', and it is only ''guardians'' who have parenting responsibilities for, and parenting time with, a child.
