She just wanted his semen...?
Michael Wilford says he was simply a sperm donor. Christin Harris says he was much more than that to her.
Now, the Glenview woman wants him to provide child support and a college fund and pay medical expenses for the 2-year-old twin daughters he fathered. But the Downers Grove man says it's a case of "involuntary parentage," as he had no intention of doing anything more than provide his ex-girlfriend with the semen she needed to conceive.
The couple met on Match.com, a dating Web site, and Harris, 45, said she knew then she wanted a child. Wilford, 45, was divorcing and said he didn't want to be a parent again, but would help her.
But Harris' attorney said Wilford showered Harris with jewelry, coats and other gifts during their 15-month relationship, as they vacationed together and said they loved each other -- and he even proposed.
Later, Harris made financial demands because "Michael had rejected her" and "this is payback," Mirabelli said. But Gordon said Wilford visited with the girls three times after they were born, and his parents even flew in to see them. Wilford said he never told his parents about the birth because he saw himself as a donor.
Testimony is set to continue today and a ruling is expected later this month. Article here.
