They are aware of the va problems but live several hours from a boarder state with better laws.  Racing across the border would be more difficult for them.  I know the laws concern them, but not sure a move is realistic for career reasons.  Due to the current judge in their county, they are hopeful they would be able to have a successful second parent adoption.

My husband would be a sperm donor.  He would be an uncle.  Our kids would be cousins.  If they broke up then they would do whatever two people do in a break up do when parenting children, donor originated or not.  however, it would not be our say - we expect to have zero custody.  However if something happened to them we would be happy to care for their children, the way we hope they would care for ours in a like situation.  We do not expect nor want parenting say-so.

Our motivations for doing this include:
1. Allowing dh's sister to have a bio connection to the child
2. Eliminating the where did i come from curiosity that older children of anonymous donors may have and the mixed feelings about having dozens of bio half siblings
3. Providing them with sperm that comes from a donor with their desired traits/characteristics

Thanks for sharing - any more thoughts would be appreciated,
