No it doesn't. It needs to be addressed in different legislation that covers this for every such couple. Whether we are talking about sperm donors, egg donors, surrogate mothers, or bio parents giving up their children for adoption, we need to make relinquishing of parental rights and responsibilities permanent. It should not be a "for the most part" thing for either side.
"accepting" parental rights and responsibilities also needs to be made permanent. the problem here was that since the other female in the relationship had none...the sperm donor was the only other person the state could go after. I agree that the issue is bigger than just SSM but it does apply to all SSM where children are involved
