The state Appeals Court has refused to get involved in a mother’s efforts to force a Newton sperm bank to reveal the identity of her twin daughters’ father so she can sue him for child support.
The woman, identified in court papers only as Jane Doe, was contesting Suffolk Probate and Family Court Judge John M. Smoot’s dismissal of her 2006 motion to compel the New England Cryogenic Center to out the young medical student who sold his sperm in the early 1990s with the agreement his identity be held “in strictest confidence.”

OBAMA VOTER!!!
That’s like saying please help me locate the person who donated blood to save my life after an accident so they can support me for life! ANONYMOUS DONATION does NOT equal ACTIVE PARTICIPATION.
Good for the courts this time—they got it right!
Let this woman get a job to support her kids—it’s HER responsiblity!
I know I am going to get flamed for this, but MAYBE THE POPE WAS ONTO SOMETHING when he said, “... in vitro fertilization has given rise to new problems.”
Bet you she is a lesbian whose committed partner found a more attractive committed partner that doesn’t have a screaming pair of twins. Just a guess here folks. Once again, males are victimizing women.
Wow. Sperm donors beware.
The next big series of lawsuits will be against the families of organ donors for allowing the recipient to live long enough to get cancer, heart ailments, etc.
She must have figured out that the father would be a Doctor by now.She thinks that just won the lottery.
More likely she wanted only one baby & ended up with two.
Them’s the breaks!
Maybe it’s Polanski.............
Insanity run rampant.
Sperm and egg donors beware - exactly!
OUCH!
BINGO
Typical psycho biomom idiocy; they SAY they can raise a child on their own but they still love that CS payment!!
Where are the equal rights for women? Equal rights come with equal responsibilities; well not in family court anyway.
Glad to see a correct decision was made at least in this one case!!
That said, it is good to see a court enforcing the terms of a contract.
SOLUTION: Don’t donate Sperm.
I can’t believe they used the term “baby daddy” in a news article! ARRRGGGHHH!
Anyway, I can understand wanting medical information, but that would be all. Interestingly, I wonder if the father knew he had that genetic problem in his background? That’s the problem with having a baby with a total stranger. You are clueless about what you might come up with.
Wtf.
Amen.
Wait, how is that different from people who have sex and create a child the normal way? Heck, you could argue that a lot of the unmarried men who get someone pregant, didn’t intend to get them pregnant. This medical student, knew his sperm would be used to get someone pregnant.
Should we allow someone to father children and then take no responsibility for them? Regardless of the fact that there was a deal. It’s not a deal that necessarily should be recognized by the courts.
