Sperm Donor Ordered to Pay Child Support 18 Years Later

Sperm Donor Ordered to Pay Child Support for 18-Year-Old A New York doctor who donated his sperm to help a gay colleague conceive in the late 1980s, and allowed his name to be put on the birth certificate, has been ordered to pay child support for the boy, his biological son now an 18-year-old who lives with his mother in Oregon.

For several years after the boy's birth in 1989, the doctor sent the child gifts and money and cards signed "Dad" and had regular contact with the child, the Post reported. However, when the boy moved to Oregon with his mother and her partner in 1993, regular contact stopped. Since then, the man's contact with the child consisted of seven phone calls and one brief meeting over the past 15 years.

A New York family court judge ruled last month that the man must now pay child support for the boy, now 18 and heading to college.
