Legal Question in Family Law in Oregon

sperm donor and custody

An acquaintance of a friend (someone I don't know) has agreed to donate sperm for me to conceive a child. I will probably never meet this person. Is there any chance, if he finds out who I am later in life, he can sue for custody of the child?
