Do you really think so? The father is just an anonymous sperm donor. I almost hate to raise the question, but what kind of man does that? I feel for those who cannot bear children of their own, but I think we have introduced an intolerable level of ethical complexity via “sperm loans.” Children, by the design of nature and nature’s God, need to be raised by two fit, sexually complimentary parents. If Lisa Miller has been restored to her natural heterosexuality, and no other disqualifying factors are present, there is no reason to regard her as an unfit parent. Whereas, a “father” in sperm only (FISO?), who not only has had no involvement in the child’s life whatsoever, but who is absolutely careless in the manner by which he sows his oats, has significant fitness issues. No, IMHO, Lisa, imperfect as she is, imperfect as the situation is, remains the best choice, not only because she is the biological mother, but because she is the only parent who has shown the love of a parent to this child. To Jenkins, she’s just a pawn; to the anonymous father, she’s just a spawn; to Lisa, she is the fruit of her womb and the love of her life. They should not be separated by ignoble politics.

I didn't know an anonymous sperm donor was the father! This is another reason to NEVER have annoymous sperm donors. It's crazy. Men should have more pride about thir offspring. Money isn't everything.

Then put the little girl up for adoption.

This little girl doesn't need MORE confusion about gender roles. There are plenty of NORMAL heterosexual parents dying to have a little white girl.
