(2) The past or present residence of the child.
(c) This chapter does not create, enlarge, or diminish parental rights or duties under other law of this State.
(d) This chapter authorizes an agreement between a woman and another person, an unmarried couple, or a married couple in which the woman relinquishes all rights as a parent of a child conceived by means of assisted reproduction, and which provides that the person or married or unmarried couple become the parents of the child.
