"My daughter is an actual living, breathing, feeling human being who did not sign that contract," Teuscher said.

She also wasn’t the one who violated the contract or took any of the steps to do so.

This creature is actually trying to hide behind her 5 year old!

If you knew the address you could just slip it into the box.

Is that how they make sperm donations? Icky!

Is there a sign over the box reading "Night Deposits?"

Regards,

She’s trying to whip up a sympathetic lynch mob to try to force the sperm bank to change its policies.

Her vague, emotional plea is nothing but PR. They don’t say what relative she approached, but by calling it a relative, it is clear that it is NOT the donor.

She did DNA testing for her child. That is reasonable and within her rights. What was wrong was contacting the donor’s relative and bringing up the sperm donation. For all we know, she told his mother, his sister, his child that he was a sperm donor ... that person talked to the donor, who then contacted the sperm bank.

I have male relatives I wouldn’t be surprised to find out had illegitimate offspring and found me on a DNA site, but that would literally be between us. However, the donor in this case AND the recipient had an agreement to be anonymous.

You don’t get to violate the contract you signed years later and use the kid as the excuse. That’s why they took back the sperm and threatened to sue for damages. The woman decided to use anonymous sperm, and she’s now trying to use emotional blackmail to say I don’t have to honor the contract after I got what I wanted.

2 words.. ATTENTION WHORE . I feel sorry for the kid and any pets she may have, and her neighbors and co-workers, and the walmart cashier she checks out with and her mailman.

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............…

I heard she contacted the donor via email or text saying they were open to communication an the person responded with something like WTF?

When you do things that are contrary to nature, you should expect strange and unnatural things to happen!!!!!

What the hell do you expect, lady? and you were going have 4 more kids that way?

And it’s not “sperm donor.” It’s guy j*rking off in a jar and making money off of it.

Don’t delude yourself. If you don’t have a husband, adopt.

Women like this...I think she’s looking for a way to make the donor financially accountable as the biological father. It’s only about the paycheck.

He didn't father a child. He donated his sperm, and did not know how, or even whether, it was going to be used or by whom. For all he knew, it could be discarded, used for research, or used to inseminate a married woman with an impotent husband (which is at arguably a good thing). The only thing he knew is that if it is used to impregnate a woman, it would be used on a woman who at least professes not to want him to be a father.

I don't like this stuff much, either, but I place more blame on the single mother recipient or on the sperm bank itself than on the guy who accepted their offer to buy his sperm.

Northwest Cryobank told CBS News it does not prohibit DNA testing, but said “concern arises when one uses DNA test results to contact a donor and/or his family.” The bank said clients like Teuscher have “contractually agreed to not independently seek the identity or attempt to contact these individuals.”

...

Case closed.

The child did not exist at consummation of the contract. The contract had nothing to do with the child.
Your argument has no standing.

later post RE FB: rhetorical “you”.

It comes down to the language in her contract regarding attempts to contact or communicate or attempt to communicate with the donor.

Mom signed the contract. It’s on her.

Turns out, maybe conceiving children in a lab and barring them from ever knowing their biological father might be a bad idea...
