    Personally I would try and persuade them to go through a clinic (with you as a donor). At least there will be a paper trail if there are any issues in the future.

    If they have had a 'bad experience' with a previous clinic why not use another one. You can cross all the T's and dot all the i's but you have no idea what emotions you will feel when you first see your child. What if you have a 'fall out' in the future with the couple. They might decide they don't want you involved once the baby is born, what will you do then?

    You need to be 100% certain that you can cope with someone else bringing up your child on a day to day basis.
