See what happened to Donor in Kansas:
http://news.yahoo.com/child-support-claim-rankles-sperm-donor-lesbian-couple-014725388.html
Doesn't matter that they had a contract, the state still tried to get him to pay child support.
[from group owner ML: Sadly, this isn't the first such case, and won't
be the last. If parents receiving benefits name a private donor, then
the local government will usually treat him as a regular father and try
to get benefits from him unless a licensed medical professional
performed the insemination. The only potential good news about this
case is that it may lead to a change in the law to protect private
donors, as happened recently in California.
There is a discussion of the legal issues here:

It's a lot more active than the Yahoo group, and recipients can use the search features to find the closest donors.
