I definitely do NOT agree with that. That particular situation was very unusual in that the recipient of the donation actually knew the person who made the donation. I still feel that this should not hold the donor accountable in any legal way at all.

Simply because she knew the donor shouldn't mean anything legally IMHO. Normally donors are kept anonymous and the person(s) whom receive the donation(s) are responsible for the welfare of the child.

This whole situation sort of defies the entire basic reasoning behind why people would donate sperm or choose to be artificially inseminated in the first place. Why the "F" doesn't she hold her former lesbian girlfriend accountable for the child support? This is as it would normally be with any couple (straight or homosexual).

Just because I decided to earn a few bucks donating my choad doesn't mean I want to be the daddy

This world's all screwed-up

i have to agree with mike, gay couples want to be able to raise children as any other "couple" but now it seems that the court is saying that no matter what kind of "couple" you are, the "father" or "donor" (in this case) is still responsible $$$$ wise. i say let the other half of the couple pay the child support (one of them had to be the predominant "male" of the pair ) well, like i always say, "the screwing you get, isnt worth the screwing your gonna get"

So I guess that if you want to donate sperm in the future, you'd better get a document saying that you are not legaly nor finacially responsible for the children.

/me makes mental note.

Funny sh!t. I'll bet that's the most expensive load he's ever blown....

Well, there goes my plan to make my millions.

Hmm. I wonder who got custody of the children. Will they let the man keep one or two of his children if he has to pay for them?

HA!!!! now that's a good one! i doubt if these children even know who their father is, (even though he was a friend of the "couple") i doubt he'll get anymore than maybe visitation if that! they dont care about the father's rights or feelings, just the fathers $$$$$$

Fark rules. I don't remember who first posted the link to that site, several months ago, but that was my introduction to The Wonders of Fark.

All that said, I've never been one to think that parentage should be based solely on accidents of biology (you can't pick your biological parents, after all). So I agree that this situation is pretty farked up. Did this friend have an active role in raising the kids? Possibly, but probably not. Do the kids even know who the biological father is? Again, likely not. Given this, why should he be responsible for child support. He isn't raising them; the couple (well, ex-couple) is, and they should be the ones doing the paying.

But given this, I would say that it's probably a wise idea never to donate sperm (or eggs, for that matter) to anyone that you know personally. However good of an idea it might seem at the time, legal complications (which in this day and age are almost inevitable) are a real pain.

I love it! The strap-on wearer in the family ought to pay child support.
