    Really can't happen, he could some years from now, decide he has a duty to his child. Using a sperm bank where there is no knowledge of who the father is, is about it.

    The basic facts are that the bio father will have rights and they can not be signed over at all before birth and almost never after.

    The bio father will also have obligations, if for some bad luck, you or the child had to receive state welfare, the state could come after the bio father for payments

    Hello wish:

    I found a surrogate agreement, which is CLOSE. I'll bet with some tinkering, you could make it fit your needs. If you can, I'd for sure, have an attorney look it over before you ENTER into it.

    After you get pregnant, the only sperm that makes any difference has already become part of the embryo. The sperm and the egg have ceased to exist.

    The legal framework as Fr_Chuck has explained it to you will apply unless you live in a state that has adopted specific rules regarding in vitro fertilization and the rights/obligations of the biological parents in such cases. You should definitely review the laws of your state, and perhaps get an attorney to draft an agreement.

    What state are you in? This is where you should start, although it is conceivable (pun intended) that the laws of other states could come into play.

    In my opinion, I don't think the agreement that Excon found will be of much help; it doesn't seem to address the most obvious legal issues you have raised in your question.

    ANY question on law needs to include your general locale as laws vary by area.

    As far as I'm aware such an agreement as you refer to is generally unenforceable. So you really do need to consult a local attorney here.
