rights of a sperm donor to lesbian couple

i don't think anyone is hung about the sexuality issue - most normal people are accepting of the fact that what constitutes a 'family' is not necessarily Mum + dad = 2.4 kids.

I think people may have been offended that some others went off-topic and instead of giving the OP friendly advice, implied that because of someone's sexuality or marital status it made them incapable of raising normal children.

ps - and i think the OP has either been scared off or was just a troll anyway

A lot of people are getting hung up about the sexuality issue. Take the word lesbian out of the OP and imagine a heterosexual mother wanting to exclude a father from a relationship with his child, not because he is unsuitable, but because she has decided that is how it should be. Would that be acceptable?

I completely agree with everything you said there but I think we're all being a bit presumptous. Really the OP has said/explained nothing beyond the few lines in her first post. We don't know if the donor for whatever reason has become unsuitable enough to be kept out of the childs life (It'd have to be a strong reason to deem him unsuitable though)

Unfortunately it seems the OP isn't in any hurry to come back and expand so this thread is only going to be debated on possibilities.
