Sperm donors are scum’ lol. Those who choose to get impregnated by such are scum buckets. No pity for those fools but pity the children of such.

I was half expecting the story to be about that.

[Ransomed]

That’s what I thought at first! But then I read it was the donor’s relative. Which is what you would expect, I mean how else is it supposed to work? If there is a match it will presumably be the actual donor or a relative. Maybe she just gets shocked easily, she sounds super flakey as it is.

I like how the talk about the "gift" the donor made.....

excuse me....HE GOT PAID to squirt...

[TheBattman]

That is the crux of the issue - I can understand when a married couple (male + female, the only legitimate kind of marriage) has fertility issues - like the prospective father is sterile, pursuing sperm donation, though adoption would be a far more God-glorifying and society-helpful avenue to children.

But when single women or homosexuals decide to circumvent God’s pattern and purpose - they are sinning and I have zero sympathy for that person and there rebellion.

As to the child - I see no legal obstacle to her seeking knowledge of her donor father once she is of the age of “majority” - but mom signed a contract and then tried to break it.

[TheBattman]

What????? So the sperm donor is at fault here? I just don’t see your reasoning. It’s not as if he had a one night stand with this woman... He sold his sperm to a sperm bank. End of story.

Lunatic leftists play their twisted games and they want to change the rules on their sanctimonious emotional whims.

The “mother” sounds like an utter dipstick.

The mother was flat wrong to attempt to contact the biological Father. I am sure it is in bold ink NOT to attempt to do this.

[circlecity]

"She may have a legal case. She had already paid for the sperm..................."

She entered into a binding contract which appears to have covered the situation. And she was the party to breach. Doubt she has a case at all but she's certainly looking at $20K in liquidated damages (plus the attorney fees on both sides of the action most likely) if she wants to push it.

Dude fathered a child and walked away. Father abandoned mother and child. Father did not take responsibility. Intentionally.

Any father who does this should be taken out behind the barn and shot.

This shouldn't be that difficult to grasp.

” Worst of all she said, it took back “four [4] additional vials of donor’s sperm that” she “purchased” – sperm she’d planned to use to have Zoe’s genetic siblings.

---

She was not so devastated as to not use the same donor’s sperm for future kids, though. Somebody is cray cray.

Just look at it as “pre-conception abortion”, honey. Things will be alright.

[The Pack Knight]

This lady doesn't understand the meaning of "anonymous" or the point of sperm donorship. If the donors wanted to be fathers, they'd be fathers, not sperm donors. Also, what's with this?

Contracts or not, many donor-conceived children and their families are finding each other. Wendy Kramer runs the Donor Sibling Registry, a group that connects donor-conceived children and their families. Her own donor-conceived son has found 18 half-siblings, most of them through DNA test matches.

Sperm donors and their families may be genetic relatives of the children but are not the children's families by any reasonable definition of the term.

I think maybe sperm recipients and donors need to take a hard look at the point of all this. It's one thing if it is being used by a couple with an impotent husband (though one might wish they would consider adopting one of the hundreds of thousands of kids in foster care in this country). But deliberately conceiving children without a father is an abuse of medical science and of the children themselves, and she should be prepared to accept the consequences.

But, of course, we are not allowed to expect women to accept the consequences of their reproductive choices.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

But, she violated the contract.

[Red Badger]

According to the article, all she did was check boxes on a website...............Now, the contract was with ‘her’ but not her child. She has wiggle room...............

[Red Badger]

The contract was with her but not her child..............

[TheBattman]

How do you figure he walked away - he have never come into contact with the woman in question. She BUYS the sperm from the sperm bank - SHE chooses to give birth (and in this case like many others - doing it in circumvention of God’s plan and model for childbearing). He helped provide what was essentially a “consumer product” for which there was a paying demand.
