The state Appeals Court has refused to get involved in a mother's efforts to force a Newton sperm bank to reveal the identity of her twin daughters' father so she can sue him for child support.

The woman, identified in court papers only as Jane Doe, was contesting Suffolk Probate and Family Court Judge John M. Smoot's dismissal of her 2006 motion to compel the New England Cryogenic Center to out the young medical student who sold his sperm in the early 1990s with the agreement his identity be held "in strictest confidence."

Sounds to me like someone is just looking for a meal ticket.

That's crazy...........I don't know what the stipulations are for women who get pregnant with donated sperm, but it seems to me that you give up any rights to child support if you wish to accept sperm from an anonymous donor.

If something like that would happen - I doubt very many men will be "donating" in fear of that very thing.
