Same gender parents

Same gender parents

We live in a society where "parents" no longer consist of a mother and father (female and male) only. A child can have two fathers or two mothers.  It becomes a problem when enrolling a new learner, e.g. do I put both of the parents as the "mothers"?  If one parent is deceased - which one (mother or father) do I choose to indicate as "deceased"?  It would be appreciated it the development team can look into this and come up with a solution.
