How should I Handle a Private Agreement?

Using a private donor outside of the clinics and sperm banks can offer certain moments of intimacy between the donor and recipient, or could create legal issues if things are not handled with the utmost care and respect towards one another. It is always wise to involve legal contracts, custodial paper work and attorneys when using a private donor. These are all things that clinics and sperm banks would have been able to offer if utilized.

With all of the issues and questions that will go through that are mentioned above should be addressed at one time or another during the interview process, and when discussing the personal responsibility and expectations of the donor and mother to be. This is where legal contracts can benefit both parties; in case someone decides to change their mind or back out, this covers and protects all parties involved.
