There is a company that sells T-shirts that states, ”My Daddy’s Name is Donor”

Today, a woman may go to any fertility center and receive artificial insemination from an anonymous sperm donor. The man who is the sperm donor has no rights (visitation, etc) or responsibilities (child support) towards that woman or child.

Why would an unmarried man have any more rights or responsibility towards the mother and child than the anonymous sperm donor? What makes this arrangement any more binding than the anonymous sperm donor/ recipient relationship?
 
I do have a problem with the donor concept. Being an adoptive parent means explaining much a child who doesn’t have a full set of reasoning skills. 😃

I presume that a person who has thought it out can find a nce euphemism for the procedure.

I also found adopting and getting a child who needs a family to be far superior to getting pregnant. Perhaps my genes are not good to pass along and that is why God made me infertile. I don’t know, but I can live with it. If I say that stretch marks and morning sickness wouldn’t help me love my child more – it seems to be demeaning of pregnancy in some people’s eyes. I really just like to point out that even though I didn’t endure the less than glamorous portions of motherhood – I am still a mother.

Sigh! :love: It would just be nice if people would be a bit more altruisitc about children. Take a chance and find a child who needs a good family and then love that child with nothing held back.
 
Hard to believe they make tee shirts like that. Fathers abandoning their families is a national disgrace. Donors are a disgrace also.

Mamamull,
A handicapped child is a blessing from God. You a handicapped in a certain way and it can be a blessing from God. Jesus said that the man born blind was that way to show the glory of God. You have been given an oportunity to show the glory of God. If you continue to show your love for children in this sometimes terrible world, then you will receive glory from God. I admire you very much.
 
There was piece on TV not too long ago about a sperm donor father, one of whose children–a daughter–actually tracked him down for a “reunion.” The get together went well enough, but he commented that there were probably about 20 more out there somewhere and he hoped they all didn’t try to contact him.

The whole site is HOMOSEXUAL based.😦

I’m sorry, but how can you make that claim about this thread?:banghead:

A donor: 1: is the one who sells his seed to a
fertility clinic in an act of helping a
childless couple or to share his
magnificent genes.
Code: 
          2: colloquially a man who 
              impregnants a woman and does 
              nothing to care about the resulting 
              child.
So how is that homosexual and why do you presume that all Catholics are gay?

I am very heterosexual and positively chaste in my thoughts. I can’t look at a handsome man and think he would be as devoted and endearing as my husband. We have known each other a mere 24 years, but we still love each other.

Perhaps if you changed the lens that you are looking at the site for one with no expected bias it would help.:hmmm:
 
mamamull–I think dhgray was saying that the website cited in the initial post is homosexual-oriented. He was not saying that this thread or that CA Forums is. And indeed that site absolutely is lesbian. 😦 Find the home page and explore the site and you will agree. I won’t add to their business by linking to that site’s home page or forums!
 
Well it is true that I didn’t go to the site. I don’t usually just drift off to where some strianger might tell me to go. I have no desire to pollute my mind. Mea Culpa.:yup:

SO, I missed the point in that the link was lesbian. I thought the thread was about the average social ill of irresponsible sexual encounters.

Personally, I am very uncomfortable about the getting pregnant concept being more important than becoming a parent.

My husband’s cousin is a lesbian “in a committed relationship” and they adopted a little girl. Sigh! Sure they may be better parents than some birth parents, but there is just something too weird about the three women being a legal family.

I understand the bible and the teaching of the church. I just can’t see why society approves.
 
There is a little boy in my son’s Tae Kwon Do class who has two “mothers”.

I’m not sure where the “donation” came from, but apparently this can be a home “do-it-yourself” project. His baby book probably has a picture of a turkey baster under the heading “Father”.

I honestly can’t imagine WHAT these people plan to tell their children when they get old enough to ask about their fathers. Nor can I fathom how ANYONE can view this as “normal”!
