I am a female in a commited long term same-sex relationship. I have been in contact with a man who is willing to act as a donor. Not wanting to spend so much of our savings on artificial insemination, we have decided that this man and I will engage is sexual activity in the hopes of my getting pregnant. He has a clean bill of health and medical records that I have reviewed.
My question is this: he has 3 children and a happy family. He does not intend to be part of this childs life, we have talked about this, and it is the best for both of our situations. He is doing this as a service to me, he is a regular sperm donor. However this case is different since we are consensually comitting to a physical act.
What legal steps should be taken to assure that both of us are taken care of? We trust each other, but it is a general legal safety thing to protect yourself. Can a basic termination of parental rights form be signed, or is it more complicated?

congrats on the decision to have a child together! my partner and i have a little one also and are considering having another. its good that you wanna do this the right way, but honestly - do you really want to have sex with this person who isnt your partner? most insemination clinics dont cost that much. the research we've done shows that it would be less than $1000 to be inseminated. and if you get it from a sperm bank and have a doctor inseminate you the sperm bank does all the legal paperwork for you that insures sole custody of the baby. doing it the way you've said, and paying a lawyer to draw up paperwork will end up costing you about as much. the donor signs a termination consent upon donation at the sperm bank and you wont have to worry about all that. if you want this guys sperm just have him donate at the bank and do some more research about insemination. i wish you the best of luck!!

Parental rights are tricky to terminate. somebody else might ought to undertake the toddler to assume financial duty of the toddler. Parental rights could be terminated voluntarily or involuntarily. The courts do no longer choose that to ensue till and till yet another person is waiting, prepared, and in a position to furnish the affection and help the toddler is entitled to get carry of. now and lower back the place the two mothers and fathers agree, the toddler's legal relationship with one or the two mothers and fathers is terminated to make the toddler legally obtainable for adoption. now and lower back the discern-toddler relationship is terminated against the choose of the mothers and fathers. that would desire to ensue in situations of toddler abuse and forget. although if there are no adoptive mothers and fathers, the state now and lower back terminates the abusive mothers and fathers' rights or as a results of fact they have deserted the toddler..

I think it would be less expensive and less emotional to go to a sperm bank.

I don't know, but why is a married man doing that anyway?
