A husband who consented to the artificial insemination of his wife using donor sperm and eggs cannot avoid paying child support for twins born as a result of the procedure, the Massachusetts Court of Appeals has ruled in affirming judgment. The parties separated after nine years of marriage and after unsuccessfully attempting to have children through a variety of means. At the time, the husband was in the process of attempting to obtain U.S. citizenship. Despite their separation, the wife remained intent on having children through in vitro fertilization.

At the follow-up appointment, it was bait and switch. He told me my eggs are fine, but he uses donor eggs. I want my eggs, like the 50-year-old. He said that was a special case and asked me my budget. It wasn't enough." "I gave up pieces of my heart," Kimberly says. "And there's no bank in Boston where I can buy it back."
On July 11, Maria del Carmen Bousada de Lara, a Spanish woman who 21/2 years ago briefly became the "world's oldest mom" when she gave birth to twin boys at age 67, died of cancer. A recipient of donor eggs and sperm at a Los Angeles fertility clinic, she had told doctors she was 55, the maximum age for partnerless in-vitro fertilization patients at that clinic. It's unclear who will care for Bousada's children, although she was quoted as saying that friends and family members (some of whom had expressed dismay over her pregnancy) were available to step in. Bousada's cancer was diagnosed shortly after her sons were born in December 2006.
