Yesterday's post focused on a past case in the UK whereby a sperm donor blurred the lines between donor and father, and was being held financially accountable for his children.
Today has seen the emergence of a similar case, this time in Canada, where the friend of a lesbian couple donated sperm and went so far as to draw up a legal contract consenting to the adoption of the child by the birth mothers lesbian partner and holding the couple to be the child's only parents.
However, the lesbian couple points out that over time the donor acted inappropriately for a donor, visiting with a frequency they found intrusive and referring to the child as his son.
Now they are suing him for child support claiming that if he acts as a father he must face up to his responsibilities.
Thus far the donor cannot be reached and has not launched a defence.
