Hi I was just wondering...... Im considering using an anonymous sperm donor . I am single and plan to do this on my own. does anyone have any idea on what a single woman puts on the birth certificate under the father if your donor is anonymous? I was told to seek legal councel but I was just wondering how anybody else has done it or will be doing it when the time comes. Thank you!
Best wishes to all!

We were laughing at the registration packet from our hospital. Less than 2 years ago the birth certificate was no big deal, now there is a two page document with instructions for single mothers and seperated mothers. And actual form has a box to be checked for AI conception with donor sperm; my doctor said the form is brand new. I don't like the new form especially since my husband is by our states legal definition responsible for paternity of this child and since we don't think its anyone's business how this child was concieved. However, I was told the hospital would check the box if we didn't based on the information in my medical records.

Boy, n.: a noise with dirt on it.
I'm a SMBC and all the staff at the hospital knew I conceived via AI, no one made a big deal about it unless it was to say "You did it at HOME? By YOURSELF? Wow, that's awesome!"
Anyway the birth certificate--I left it blank and my son's BC says "Father Not Listed".
I wouldn't necessarily trust the hospital to automatically know how to handle things. Chances are they probably will, but it's best to be prepared in advance in case you have to advocate for yourself.
