Why It Matters
Why Sperm Donor Agreements Are Essential
A well-structured sperm donor agreement serves multiple purposes.
Clarifying Parental Rights
Establishes that donors have no parental rights or obligations, and intended parents are the legal guardians of any resulting children.
Setting Expectations
Addresses considerations such as future contact, medical information sharing, and confidentiality.
Legal Protection
Ensures compliance with Canadian laws, including the Assisted Human Reproduction Act, which prohibits the purchase of sperm but allows for reimbursement of reasonable expenses.
