A sperm bank that has visitation, pays child support, and (in an ideal situation) actually helps parent the child too.

His father and I getting divorced was the best thing for Kain, as well as the best thing for his father and I. Of course it would be better for teens to wait to find out of they are going to be with a person long term before having a baby. I am not advocating teens planning pregnancy at all. But at the same time, marriages that have been together for 20 years still sometimes end in divorce, its just the way the world is now, shit happens.
"Whats 5 years waiting as to thinking someone is your father and then being told otherwise later on that he was just a short term fling?"
This line I don't quite understand...even if a child is a result of a short term fling, it wouldn't change who they think their father is?
