SPERM DONOR AND PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

 Hi, it's Deborah and Euzi 

Ladies, are  you looking at undertaking any sort of fertility arrangement? Please, be very careful to involve a professional clinic instead of a private arrangement.  In a recent case a man  had been making private arrangements with women who wanted children to be a sperm donor for them. However, what this man failed to do was to tell the women his intentions of applying for parental responsibility and that  he suffered from ‘Fragile X syndrome’, a genetic and inheritable condition which causes a range of developmental problems including learning difficulties and cognitive impairment.

GETTING HELP AND COMPENSATION IF YOU WERE ABUSED AS A CHILD

There are 3 ways you can get compensation:

• by making a legal claim against your abuser in the Civil Court, which is known as ‘suing’ them

• through the Criminal Court if your abuser is convicted

• from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority
