A hospital in Delftzijl has won its legal battle to keep the name of a donor secret from a lesbian couple who had a baby using his sperm.

The couple went to court to try to get the donor’s details after their child was born with dark skin. They had requested a white donor.
The hospital suspects the sperm may have come from an Aruban man who was in the hospital withh is wife for an artificial insemination programme. Officials have offered to contact this couple on behalf of the two women.
Groningen court rejected the women’s appeal for information, saying they should first take the hospital up on this offer.
