>Wouldn't it be correct to have two fathers in a child adopted by gay parents?

Having two fathers doesn't mean having a father and an "other father". It means having two fathers, in the same way that having two parents doesn't mean having a parent and an "other parent".

In the original riddle it makes sense to refer to "another father", but not in the revised version in which there is no mention of a father involved in the car crash.
