Paternal custody for donor conceived child

I was spending time with a friend over New Years and she brought up something at I didn't really think about. My DH and I conceived our child at home with a IUI. I am currently 20 weeks pregnant. My friend asked how custody works if DH isn't genetically related to our future child. I told her that I honestly wasn't sure. Is it enough to for my husband to sign the birth certificate or does he have to adopt the child? I am just concerned with situations where if something happened to me, I wouldnt want the child taken away from him because the child would not really related to him genetically at all. Also we live in Vermont. I have tired looking at a bunch of websites, but I can't find anything related to using donor sperm. Thanks!

And boy does it ever vary for same-sex couples.

Yes it seems crazy that it isn't the same for everyone.....regardless of being same-sex or straight.
