A doctor who says he acted as a colleague's sperm donor 18 years ago, but who held himself out as the father of the colleague's child, cannot now deny his paternity, according to a New York Family Court judge. The judge denied a request for genetic testing, noting that the man had sent the child cards and gifts signed "Dad" or "Daddy," that he was listed as the father on the birth certificate, and that the child had not known anyone else as his father. The mother is seeking support for college costs.

A sperm donor who fathered a colleague’s child 18 years ago and has held himself out as the father cannot now deny his paternity, said a Nassau County, N.Y., judge, who denied the donor’s request for a genetic test.
Family Court Judge Ellen R. Greenberg found that reversing course now would have a “traumatic effect” on the 18-year-old, who currently lives in Oregon.
