        the marriage of the parents are legitimate.




        Children  conceived  as  a  result  of  artificial



        insemination of the wife with the sperm of the


        husband or that of a donor or both are likewise


        legitimate children of the husband and his wife,



        provided,  that  both  of  them  authorized  or


        ratified  such  insemination  in  a  written


        instrument  executed  and  signed  by  them



        before  the  birth  of  the  child.  The  instrument


        shall be recorded in the civil registry together


        with the birth certificate of the child. (55a, 258a)
