Sperm donor in the Netherlands fathers more than 500 children, foundation says

A 41-year-old man allegedly fathered more than 500 children in the Netherlands, according to the Donorkind Foundation, an organization that helps children born via sperm donations who are looking for their origins.

Donorkind, which is based in Den Haag, Netherlands, confirmed in a statement that a generous "serial donor" would have given his sperm nationally and internationally.

A lawsuit brought by the mother of one of his children is now asking a Dutch court to help prevent the man from donating in the future.

According to the Dutch medical guidelines, a donor can only father 25 children to avoid possible incest and psychological problems. But it's not considered a criminal offense to go over.

The donor was already excluded in 2017 from donating via the Dutch Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (NVOG). At that time, he already fathered 102 babies from 11 different clinics, officials said.
