We would but in Australia it is not allowed & going through the foster system is not allowed either, our prime minister is now trying to stop GLBT couples from having children at all.

I would add to ashif_noohu's list:
1. does his family have a history of mental illness
2. heart complications
3. diabetes
4. Is there any family history of other hereditary illness or conditions such as cancer or sickle cell anemia
5. will he take an AIDS test - essential
6. find a generic medical history form on line and ask him to fill it out
7. What is his drug history?
8. If you want him to waive his parental rights, will he?
9. If you want him to share in parenting, will he?
10. If you want child support (money), will he?
11. Does he want to be compensated?
12. I suggest you seek an attorney and have any agreement put in writing.
Remember this involves not only your life and his, but a child's. Protect everyone and any future grief by making it a formal agreement.
I found a link, below, that shows the type of genetic testing that is often done at a sperm bank. I wasn't sure from your detail if you could or couldn't use an anonymous donor through a sperm bank. Sometime anonymity solves a lot of issues.
Good luck!! Having children is both a wonderful and challenging endeavor. I have two teenagers, 14 & 16.

Move to Canada, the UK, or France. America if you want, but...eh. No great shakes.
If your Prime Minister is trying to treat y'all like sideshow freaks, I'd high-tail it right on out of there and move somewhere where you two can live *properly* like human beings.
Don't stay there because he would "win" if you left. He would win if you stayed and tolerated such treatment from his administration. Show him that, although you love your country, you will not tolerate being treated like second-class citizens.

There are kids in orphanages who have no idea what a stable home is like. None. They don't know what a family feels like. They don't know what it's like to never question belonging to a family. They have this empty place in them that they don't know how to communicate. They have no idea what their loneliness is going to do to them later. They have no idea who to trust. They don't know who to look up to. They imitate love. They really don't know it. They don't know what it's like to have their own room. They don't know what the world is like without a fence around it. They can't just go into the kitchen and get a glass of water. They have drinking fountains. They don't think about going to the grocery store. They may never have been in one.
Most of this stuff happened to me.

I think you should consider adoption.
There are so many babies and kids in foster care and adoption agencies that need a loving home.

if there are sperm banks you could go that route or get a gay friend, if healthy, to donate his.
