Otherwise, I'm in favour of keeping donor's identity confidential

Well the father could still help and the confidentiality could still remain intact. You wouldn't need the mother or the child to be in contact to get some sort of medical help. That could be done through a third party. It would be a similar system to marrow matching. The identities of the donor and recipient are not shared. However if they are going to do this it should be an option for the father to choose upfront, not after.
