It sounds like the parties involved should have sought legal advice before going forward with the insemination.

I don't see this as being a good deed for the child conceived.

Yes, he should pay child support; Craig's List?? {#emotions_dlg.blink}

He should have spoken to a lawyer before donating!! Ignorance of the law is not an excuse.

I agree.

But it still sounds unjust to me.

I wonder if he gave them permission to use his name on the birth certificate. OOps this alone might be the cause of child support from him.

Wonder how that came packaged through Craig's list, turkey baster included? Just being funny and not making light of this serious situation.

All three signed a contract that stated he would not be financially obligated for the child. He and his wife have no children of their own but have been foster parents.
