Well, sex can be mechanistic for these purposes. Unless you've had your head in the sand since birth, you should already know that sex does not always imply love, nor is love a requirement for sex. Sometimes it's just about getting off, or reproduction. Sex, in this case, is simply practical. How many lesbians just fall in love with some guy after one sexual encounter, especially one so emotionally detaching and pragmatic as this? This isn't Showtime.

You could do the original contract of intent on your own (although unenforceable) and then proceed with a lawyer for a second parent adoption after the birth. That would be the only sure way that I know of to protect the donor from the parental, financial, etc. responsibilities.
