Excuse me, but why is it automatically the woman's fault?? It takes two things to make a baby -- an egg and a sperm. The sperm didn't just sneak into that petrie dish by itself!
The adults in this situation are clearly idiots. It takes a total idiot to rely on an "oral agreement" when it comes to responsibilities so HUGE, an idiot to trust a woman who cheated on her husband for 2 years, and idiot to make such an agreement while the woman is STILL married to another man.
I can't even begin to find the words to describe what I think she is... idiot just doesn't do it justice. Selfish, irresponsible, self-centered.... idiot!
But I think the judge has a good point -- regardless of the stupid careless behavior of the parents, there are now two children who have to pay the price... and their interests should come first.
So lesson one boys : YOUR sperm, YOUR responsibility. Be careful where you put 'em.
No.
If the mother was not legally married to the biological father, it is the mother's responsibility only.
If that is bad for the children, then the sin upon her head--not upon the government and society.
Should government instead do as you suggest, then government is guilty of a greater sin:
The undermining of legal marriage, and the misery and chaos that ensues to millions more children and to the nation.
So what if an egg donor..
Birth mother keep the child and all rights; egg donor woman payes child support?
Egg donor mother keep the child and all rights; birth woman payes child support?
The petrie dish cut both way
This woman had an affair...she put her husband that was divorcing her as he father on the birth certificate. She made an agreement with the donor to never come back on him for support.She has lied throughout this whole process.
The sperm got in that dish because she made an arrangement with this man, one he took in good faith. When a man goes thru the clinical process of IVF he should be able to assume a limited role in creating and raising the children as agreed upon.
Not being able to have babies for some women is devasting and this ruling probably just took alot of men who were willing to pass on their genes out of the picture. People will suffer because of this selfish self centered woman. This is a mess of her creation.
