Just called me to say she and her partner are going to use the sperm (we were pretty much married and due to lifestyle my sperm count is low, enjoy breakfast) we got frozen when we we were going out to have a kid not really sure how I feel about that, but can't really do much as she paid for the freezing process.
We were going to use it anyway when we were together at some point,but I don't want kids now so guessing if they do they might as well. As I say I am not going to ever be involved.
as in by law it's obliged to be able to find out its genetic parent.
You definitely have a say in the situation - there's been a case I remember in the past involving IVF where the woman had ovarian cancer, so they created embryos with her then husbands sperm so that they could have kids if they wanted to in the future. They ended up breaking up, then in a subsequent marriage the woman wanted to implant the embryos she'd had made with her ex-husbands sperm to have kids with the new man - the ex-husband exerted his right not to have kids meaning the embryos couldn't be used.
Just spoke to my lawyer mate over there I lived with for a bit and he says that I probably wouldn't be able to do much and I literally have no cash to take this to court, as for the contacting me when they are 18 I don't hold up much chance of me lasting that much longer so not an issue.
I couldn't imagine being in that sort of situation, makes it easier somehow that they're lesbians I guess, cause it'd be weird having some guy bring up 'your' child. odd situation anyway!
I am getting a bit worried now about this after people's comments and might be good to get your legal opinion (although not sure you will know much about Dutch Law)
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
who to?
my girlfriend hayley
she's nice you see
*fiancée
Get off so I can call you
YAY!
Why would you do a thing like that?
9.5 years bro
time to shit or get off the pot
Congratulations!
yay thanks
what are you doing with the pre-engagement ring?
flushed it down the pan
Good work, (not for much longer) virgin!
An ex girlfriend of mine who turned lesbian

i think you might have a little more say than that pal
Why? She paid for the treatment, can't really do much can I.
Can hardly say no to her. We don't live in the same place so if it is successful for them I will never meet it.
'Can hardly say no to her'
Eh, what? Of course you can!
Different laws in the Netherlands buddy

Pretty sure the kid would be able to contact you when it was 18 if it wanted to

Guessing this was UK? The law is different in the Netherlands apparently

Yeah U.K
and then through the European courts too
Brief outline of the case here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evans_v_United_Kingdom
thats about as much advice as I can give - I only remembered the case from an ethics course at university. wish you well anyway
so you're gonna be the dad of a lesbian couple's kid?
Well no her partner will be the "dad" I am guessing
She just called to let me know, kind of wish she hadn't but fair enough of her to let me know I suppose
Oh and Congratulations mate
PIANO
I think the congratulations are all yours by the sound of it
Em...no. If it works congratulations to them i suppose though
Although probably the last I will here for her now so all is good
you mustg be a bigger man than i

DOUBLE PUNK'ED

Let's make it clear ease that this is not me
PIANO
(Ps congratulations!)
Ease
Please stop saying congratulations, it technically won't be mine
Actually can you give me a call on my home phone (mobile is broken)
I am getting a bit worried now about this after people's comments and might be good to get your legal opinion (although not sure you will know much about Dutch Law)
You're fucked darling
Turkey baster.
PIANO.
Ok cheers for your help
I will find a loophole
Because the last thing we want is another Lando, God rest his soul :(
It's cool I am not looking for a loophole, they are going to use it
I am just worried now if by some miracle I am alive in 18 years it tries to make contact.
Surely if it is registered in Netherlands they can't pass on details if I live in UK?
I can't believe this guy just went and made the whole thread about him
selfish wankstain fucking hell
