... Michael Wilford says he was simply a sperm donor. Christin Harris says he was much more than that to her.

Now, the Glenview woman wants him to provide child support and college fund and pay medical expenses for the 2-year-old twin daughters he fathered.

But the Downers Grove man says it's a case of "involuntary parentage" as he had no intention of doing anything more than provide his ex-girlfriend with the semen she needed to conceive. "No good deed goes unpunished," his attorney Enrico Mirabelli, said in court Tuesday.

'I Just Want Your Semen'

Wiford said he was asked to pay nothing toward the in-vitro fertilization or related pregnancy costs and the couple broke up three months after Harris gave birth and he was never asked to provide a thing or to act as a father."

"....She was a lady with a plan-and that plan wasn't marriage," Mirabelli said, "He trusted her, why?" Because she said " I Don't want anything from you. I just want your semen.."

Sounds like a vampire " I just want your semen" There were other past stories about these things happening with sperm donors being sued for child support and getting it, so if you ever consider to donate semen in the future. I suggest you think about this.

BUT its for the children!!!!!!!!!!!

[manwiththehands]

Wasn't this bozo smart enough to get her to sign a pre-sperm-donation agreement?

Women don't need no man.

They just need his money, his time, his support....

It's great being a feminist.

[goodnesswins]

Stupid man......don't trust a woman you are NOT married to....sheesh.

[tallhappy]

He agreed. He's responsible. Quit complaining and pay for it.

[swain_forkbeard]

He agreed to what?

[Kirkwood]

I pity the child. Has to live with the genes from both of these losers.

[Kirkwood]

excuse me... children.

[Lancey Howard]

and the couple broke up three months after Harris gave birth

Yep. I agree with you.

Parenthood is slavery? Come to think of it, I guess you're right!

[HeadOn]

You know, I gotta shake my head and chuckle when junk like this happens. The simple, one man/one woman/marry/have kids/stay together forever has a world of difficulty all by itself. And for some reason, we think we have to add all the twists and turns of unmarried moms, divorce, test tube babies... My heart goes out to the poor folks involved in all that kind of stuff.

Let's face it, mankind is just really good at messing things up - and sometimes, we don't even need lawyers to do it!

Doesn't this twit know that women sense our power, and they seek the life essence?

You do not have to avoid women, but you should deny them your essence.

I bet he does nothing to preserve the purity of his precious bodily fluids either!

OK, I guess you could make an argument for child support, but

College Fund?
Medical Expenses?
WTF? Heck, why not house and car payments too? Maybe the guy ought to sue for custody.

[jazusamo]

Exactly...Whether he wanted more children or not, those two girls are a part of him.

[Wolfie]

He agreed. He's responsible. Quit complaining and pay for it.

It's a wierd little phenomenon here at FR. If she was a welfare mom, they'd be screaming to hunt down the father and make him pay. Go figure.

Sperm Donor Sued For Child Support

Most sperm donors don't live, love, vacation with, and propose to their recipients.

Yup.
