A Topeka man is fighting a legal battle over parental rights, because his babies' mother says he is just the sperm donor.
Hendrix is a gay man who didn't think he would ever become a father. Then in 2004, the Topeka resident said a longtime female friend named Samantha Harrington approached him and asked if he would father a baby for her through artificial
insemination.
So Hendrix said he agreed to the deal. "I thought everything was perfect and I said, 'Do we need anything in writing?" he said. "She said, 'Daryl, we've been friends for 10 years. I'm an attorney. Kansas is an oral agreement state. There will be no problem.' And I took her word for it."
Hendrix said when he went to the hospital to see the infants, a boy and a girl, he was turned away.
The next day, Harrington filed legal documents asking that Hendrix have no parental rights. Hendrix too went to court.
