When the Law Says You're Not a Parent: New York Law on Donors and Second Parent Adoption

a blog by Kim Griffiths, February 6, 2013

Saturday’s New York Times featured the story of Johnathan Sporn, a pharmaceuticals executive who is fighting for parental rights of his son, conceived with late girlfriend, Luann Leutner. Leutner committed suicide on New Year’s Day after a long bout of mental illness and postpartum depression.

Despite trying to conceive with Sporn’s sperm, the couple turned to a sperm donor with in vitro fertilization (IVF) to get pregnant. Since Sporn did not legally adopt the child, baby Lincoln Sporn Leutner was placed in New York City foster care. In the eyes of the law, Sporn is not the father of the child until he can provide some legal documentation proving his intentions to father the child with Leutner.

a blog by Claire, November 26, 2012

In an interview with Wendy Williams on November 16th, Tyra Banks debunked rumors of a steamy relationship with new America’s Top Model judge, Rob Evans. “He’s like my brother, but maybe he has a crush on his sister”, she claims. Banks recently split from Wall Street banker, John Utendahl. Tyra laughed as she asked the audience to help her find a new man.

Despite a missing love connection, Banks (38) is still taking motherhood and her fertility seriously. She admits she has considered both egg freezing and adoption, replying to Williams’ reminder that egg freezing for fertility preservation is all the rage amongst Hollywood stars and career women.
