That is different than having a parent out there that may have ability to pay and having them go free without obligation.

And yet as this transfers into adoption how would you view it?

Say it was an open adoption where the biological parents and the adoptive parents knew each other. If the adoptive parents hit a rough patch or if they died or divorced should the biological parents be forced to pay child support?

If not then how is it different then a case where a child is living with one biological parent and has an agreement where by the other noncustodial biological parent's rights have been severed in exchange for the custodial parents not requesting child support?

In cases where a person has voluntarily surrendered parental rights as part of a agreement should they be forced to take them up again simply because the other party changed their mind?

I think this would be kind of a dangerous president to set. Courts and laws should be consistent and if they take this path there are numerous places where that consistency could be destructive.

Best to donate anonymously if at all.

Ain't that the truth!

In adoption, two people usually adopt or one in some cases with an abandoned child.

In the case of a sperm donor, they knew the result would not be a pizza, so they have some responsibly.
