A man who donated sperm to a lesbian couple is being made to pay maintenance by the Child Support Agency (CSA).
Andy Bathie, 37, from Enfield, north London, claims he was assured by the couple he would have no personal or financial involvement for the children.
He donated his sperm as a friend rather than go through a fertility clinic.
The CSA said only anonymous donors at licensed centres are exempt from being treated as the legal father of a child born as a result of their donation.
Mr Bathie, a firefighter, said he cannot afford to have children with his own wife due to the financial implications.

Either way - Ha-Ha! Sux to be him!
