Ok this is a question from Minnesota. There is this woman who is a good friend of mine and she wants to have a baby. I have never been romantically involved with her but she wants me to be the donor, and she doesn't want to go to a clinic, she wants me to impregnate her. That was a shocker.
She said that she would take care of the child and be the sole parent (as I have no interest in raising children at this point in my life and she knows this) She said my name wouldn't be on the birth certificate and there is "nothing to worry about".

My question is: Can I legally give up my rights to the child, and is there some way this could come back to bite me, like child support later on if she is in a financial bind. Can I waive all of my rights to the child and if I do what exactly does that mean? I trust her and would like to help her, she loves kids but this request is just too weird to jump on without knowing what the laws are. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't jump on it at all.

Neither the "request" nor her.

Sperm donors are protected form paternity actions in all 50 states, however, you won't be a "sperm donor". You'll be a man having sex with a woman and if a child is produced you will be that child's father. As such, she can come after you for child support no matter what you "agree" to.

The only direction you should be jumping is BACKWARDS.

Donating your sperm this way gives you no protection. You will leave yourself wide open to her seeking child support and other obligations down the road anytime she wants to.
