#2Duh, RTFM. The donor gave his seed anon and you agreed to it. What do you want now...if a person wants to come out publicly a donor #AGF2145, that's their prerogative, not yours.

#3I guess the moral of the story is read contracta before you sign them, and don't agree to terms that you cannot abide by.

#4Since the title doesn’t say much...
It was a close relative. One the donor company found out they blocked her from receiving more of the guys sworn she had already purchased for future kids.
I guess she was attached to the idea of the kids being biological siblings.

#5How do sperm banks not prevent this (sperm donor being the immediate family of the recipient) from happening in the first place? Seems like this woman might have a case against the sperm bank if she wanted to sue.

I think you misread the story.

No, she found a close relative of the anonymous donor by sending her daughter's dna to 23andMe. It's a privacy / deanonymization issue, not a case of the sperm bank not checking if the donor is related to the recipient.

For me the moral of the story is that sperm banks are not in a position to guarantee donors anonymity. Donating DNA is like donating the most effective way to track you.

What about the child? She didn't agree to anything.

#10LOL. Shut down anonymous sperm banks.
If you want to have kids, from the same father. Quit crying over your spilt milkshake, and marry one.
