Kansas sperm donor appeals paternity denial to U.S. Supreme Court
The Kansas court ruled 4-2 last fall that a sperm donor who wants to have parental rights with any subsequent children must have a written agreement with the mother. The ruling was the result of lawsuits involving Samantha Harrington, who conceived twins with sperm donated by Hendrix. The twins, a boy and a girl, will be 3 on May 18.
The Kansas Supreme Court opinion is: In re K.M.H., No. 96, 102 (Kan. Oct. 26, 2007)
