My girlfriend and I are trying to have a baby.. A really good friend of ours wants to help and be our donor.. To protect him and give him ease at mind and to protect us we want papers signed saying he will have no rights to the baby. So that way we can not go after him for child support and he can not come after us saying he is the father of the baby... What steps can we take to do this? We have been talking about this for the past 2 years and now we are redy to get started.. I am praying by net year to be pregnant but we want to make sure this can be taken care of... please if you don't have any helpful information or anything nice to say to me plase do not answer this question.. Thaks to anyone who can help me

Hi Ashy,
Its good that you have thought of the future consequences to this.What you basically want is a legal document, I'm not sure where the law lies on this,as I can only speak from a UK point of view, but I would say go and speak to a Solicitor put your situation to him and see what he suggests.

Should you be in the UK go to Citizens Advise Bureaux who will have all the legal info you need.

Ashy be sure you have everything clear to all parties concerned before this process begins


Goodluck

If you are in the US you will want to consult a family law attorney in your area. Not all US states have progressed in laws on this area of sperm donation.

How about this:

1. Get married
2. Are you planning on having sperm donated the "biological" way? Then you'd better involve a counselor for all of you to get past the weirdness of THAT.
3. Once the baby is born, have him voluntarily relinquish parental rights.
4. Adopt the baby yourself.

Talk to a lawyer.

I truly hope that you are using technology for the insemination, though---any other way is going to cause you and your girlfriend to break up, unless you've both gone through open relationships in the past and know how to deal with them.
