If you use donor eggs or sperm from a Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) licensed clinic, your donor will not:
Be the legal parent of any child born
Have any legal obligation to any child born
Have any rights over how the child will be brought up
Be asked to support the child financially
Be named on the birth certificate
If you source donor eggs for your surrogacy treatment, it will be the surrogate, not the donor, who is considered your child's legal parent until your parental order is processed. Visit the HFEA website for more information.
