donor insemination

Risks of choosing natural insemination as a method of conceiving

I feel it is my duty to warn other prospective gay moms about using a known donor, such as a friend. I understand completely the desire to use a donor who is known and to have his involvement as an "uncle" or "Godfather" in the child's life, but I caution against this. The law is unchartered in this new area of family arrangements, and unsuspecting women could find themselves in an emotionally and financially costly court battle if the donor decides he wants more, despite any signed agreements.
