===== Larry and Wanda face the weakest position legally. =====

Even without a written donor agreement, courts generally treat sperm and egg donors as non parents unless there is clear evidence they intended to parent the child.

The fact that they later formed a relationship is legally irrelevant.

Intent to parent must exist at the time of conception and must be clearly demonstrated.

Absent that, courts are extremely reluctant to impose parental rights and obligations on genetic donors, especially when a child already has two legally recognized parents.
