Hi Everybody.
I am 30 year old divorcee who has been a in lesbian relationship for the last 3 years. I already have a child with my ex-husband, but my girlfriend and I are very keen to have a child together. I love my son so much (as does my girlfriend), but we want to add to our family.
I could really do with your help. I have been reading through your threads but feel a little overwhelmed at all the different angles, opinions and information that there is. I have so many questions from all kinds of prespectives, and could really do with some feedback and advice.
* I am interested in the legal implications that having a sperm donor could have.
* Do they have any rights/claims to the child that they have conceived?
* Is there any kind of legal 'limit' to the number of times that a donor can 'father' a child?
* How do I know that the donor IS who/what they say they are?
* Are there any recommended sites for screening reputable donors?
* Are there any recommended 'methods' for AI?!
* Can you recommend where I could access all this information on the internet?
See? LOADS of questions!!!!!!! I know that some of them seem quite basic or trivial, but I feel that the best people to get the right information from and most helpful advice is from people who are actively involved in the process!!!
I appreciate anybody who could take the time to help me.
Regards
Davina
