A sperm donor whose case was lost at the Kansas Supreme Court has appealed to the US Supreme Court.  It is the first case of its kind, as this is the first time that a court has required that there be a written agreement between the Parties.  I am interested to hear what others have to say.  See the articles below:

Attorneys for a Topeka sperm donor have appealed his paternity case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

In a 4-2 opinion on Oct. 26, the Kansas court said a state law that doesn’t give sperm donors any parental rights unless there’s a written agreement is indeed constitutional. The court said the decision upholding the 1994 law was the first of its kind in the nation because no other state has ruled on a provision requiring a written agreement between mother and donor.

“This is a very significant case, not only for the world of fathers’ rights, but also for the rights and fair treatment of children,” said Jeffrey Leving, a Chicago attorney and national parents’ rights advocate representing Hendrix. “Many fathers are criticized for not being there. Here we have a father who wants to help, but he was cut off at the knees.”
