Italy is removing children from registers and stopping surrogacy abroad in new rules affecting same-sex couples.
Italian authorities are bringing in new measures targeting LGBT families and making it harder for them to have children. Many same-sex parents feel that a new law, which would make it illegal to have surrogacy abroad, is a personal attack against them.Husbands Claudio and Davide have a baby on the way through surrogacy - a woman in another country is carrying their son for them.
She describes herself as a Christian mother and is a firm believer that a child should only be raised by a mother and a father.Italy's prime minister Giorgia Meloni has said that children deserve to be raised by a mother and a father "This bill is seeking to punish things that are perfectly legal in countries that are our allies, such as the US and Canada," Prof Schillaci says. "It would be like prosecuting someone for smoking weed in Amsterdam after they've come back home.Image caption,Carolina Varchi, the Brothers of Italy MP who drafted the bill, vehemently rejects that. "Most people who use surrogacy are heterosexual," she says.
She told the BBC that surrogacy should be seen as a crime as serious as paedophilia, and prosecuted as such. However she suggested that most people would receive a fine, rather than face prison. And it's not just surrogacy - the Italian government is also using other ways to make it more difficult for LGBT parents to create a family.
Brothers of Italy MP Ms Varchi points out that "non-biological parents can ask our courts to adopt the children - in special circumstances, this will be recognised"."It's humiliating to adopt your own child," Mauro says. "The government's belief that gay parents cannot raise happy children is homophobic."
"I won't be able to take my daughter to school, I won't be able to make decisions for her at a hospital, I won't be able to travel abroad with her, without Valentina's written permission," Daniela explains ruefully. Those we spoke to told us that they don't want their children to be treated as second-class citizens - and they will keep fighting for their right to have a family.
