no joke at all. No one is contributing since our illustrious lefty leaders decided that children born from such donations can trace the donor when they reach 18. They have had to up the payout to get anywhere. It was in all the tabloids.
Couple that with the fact that if the mother suddenly decides that such a donor should pay for their child, the law in the uk sides with the mother against the donor. No contract superceeds the letter of the law, even for surrogate farthers. Things are getting grim for the clinics.

Of course a donor from outside of UK jurisdiction would be exempt.


No wonder they are paying so much. It could cost you 20 something years to pay back!! Stay away if you're in th UK !! :lol:

It would end up like a £250 loan with 1000% interest all due on maturity.
Luckily the state of the education system in the Uk makes it near impossible to raise anyone with the brains to trace a box of chocolates, let alone a donor of 18 years previous.

I remember reading a while back that there was a man here in the U.S. that found his spouse was unfathful when he divorced her he found that a child that he was raising for a few years was not his. Well a judge still made him pay child support instead of making the man who was the Father because he was unaware for those years. Does not seem right to me.

Yep..we seem to live in a sociaty where you can spend your paycheck before you even receive it.

One of my friends is somewhat wealthy..he told me his "secret" is "I don't buy ANYTHING until I can afford to buy TWO of it with CASH"

I guess that translates to "save" up for what you want...imagine that?


That's the way I live now. No credit cards. No car loans. Instead of making payments, I save for what I want.
