Sperm Donors Need To Cross Their T's And Dot Their I's, Or End Up Like This Guy.
So what happens when the donor clearly didn't mean to become a father, but the prescribed legal processes weren't followed? This. This is what happens.
Excerpt - “Last month, a surprising ruling came down from a New York appellate court, holding that a man who believed he had been a mere sperm donor was actually the legal father of a child conceived from his donations. The case is a cautionary tale for those thinking they might just do a solid for an ex or friend — without fully complying with state laws covering gamete donors.”
