2012(E.C. v. J.V. (2012) 202 Cal.App.4th 1076, 1085 [ 136 Cal.Rptr.3d 339 ].) In our view, whether the man seeks presumed father status under section 7611, subdivision (d) directly, or under the rule of Jerry P ., he must demonstrate that he falls within the class of fathers described by the Legislature in section 7611, a classification that distinguishes “between those fathers who have entered into some familial relationship with the mother and child and those who have not.” (In re Sabrina H.

1998“We do not reweigh the evidence but instead examine the whole record to determine whether a reasonable trier of fact could have found for the respondent.” (In re Spencer W., supra, 48 Cal.App.4th at p. 1650 .) Gary asserts he has established the first prong of the presumed father test in that Samantha lives with him approximately one-half of the time.

2022In deciding whether an individual has attained presumed father status, the juvenile court must consider his conduct “before and after the child’s birth.” (Adoption of Kelsey S., supra, 1 Cal.4th at p. 849 .) Presumed father status is granted based on a commitment toward developing a “substantial familial relationship to the child.” (In re Sarah C. (1992) 8 Cal.App.4th 964, 975 .) W.B.’s lack of a commitment to parenting responsibilities during the period the court focused on is highly relevant to the presumed father analysis.

2013In Elisa B. v. Superior Court (2005) 37 Cal.4th 108 (Elisa B.), the California Supreme Court addressed the “parental rights and obligations, if any, of a woman with regard to a child born to her partner in a lesbian relationship.” (Id. at p. 113.) Section 4 7611 provides in part that a man is presumed to be the natural father of a child if he “receives the child into his home and openly holds out the child as his natural child.” (§ 7611, subd. (d).) Section 7650 provides that provisions applicable to determining a father and child relationship shall be used to determine a mother and child rela
