Hi Emma,
I should have emailed before now but I have
been very busy with our
beautiful 6 month old son. Thanks to your hard work we found a genuine
donor and our son is everything we could have
wished for and more.
Our donor has also offered to
help us again in the future with a sibling
for our son
and to complete our family.
We can't begin to thank you enough
THANK YOU
Sarah (London)
Hi there here are, as
promised, some photos of us and our little boy who we
have called Jake. He was
born weighing 9lb 9oz which was quite a shock as im
only little, hence i needed a caesarian section but it has
all been worth it as we have such a beautiful, happy and contented baby who has
made our life so complete. Nothing can compare to the feeling i have when I hold
him and he looks at me
with his gorgeous smile.
I know the midwives say
you have to wait till 6 weeks before they smile but
honestly he smiled the first
day he was born and does everyday. He totally amazes
me everyday and I feel so blessed to have the
opportunity to be a parent.
I hope that everyone has the chance on FSDW to have a baby.
Its the best thing
in the world.
Thank you again,
L******, C***** and Jake x x
I never knew that a website like this one existed and I'm very glad that it does.. I met my
donor through the website and I must admit, I had my doubts. I had quite a few replies and
I replied to everyone but in the end I went with my gut instinct and I couldn't have chosen
anyone better. I fell pregnant on my first attempt at AI and I am now about to have my
first scan. I'm pregnant and have been told that I'm glowing and I owe it all to your website.
I know some people wouldn't consider anything like this because of the stigma attached
but sometimes you just have to go for it. Your website enables people who normally
wouldn't consider treatment due to high costs to fulfill their dream.
Keep up the good work.. and thanks for continuing to help so many of us
Just wanted to tell you the brilliant, fantastic and marvellous news that I'm pregnant!
Took your advice and got clinic to inseminate me on first day of
ovulation instead of second even though they were
really unhappy about it. Also inseminated at home the day before and day after.
I am completely over the moon and thank you and the site from the bottom of my heart.
I am posting a notice on the pink sofa to tell women about your site! Once again thanks Emma, Your site is brilliant and the donors on it are brilliant.
I have met two lovely men and am amazed and astounded by their generosity.

The £35 baby boom
With registered sperm donors in short supply, thousands of women are taking matters into their own hands and tracking down donors online, paying a £35 fee to find the perfect no-strings dad. Sian Lewis investigates
Jennifer*, 36, stares at her computer screen, scrolling through the online details of hundreds of men. A few minutes later she strikes gold – he’s tall, with dark hair and blue eyes. And he lives just down the road. ‘I think I’ve found Mr Right,’ she calls to husband Andy*. ‘Come and have a look, he looks just like you, and he’s done this before. He sounds perfect.’ No, Jennifer isn’t looking to spice up the marital bed. Instead, she’s one of a growing number of women shopping online for a sperm donor.
‘This is hardly how I imagined the conception of my first child,’ admits Jennifer. ‘When we found out last year that Andy is sterile, we were devastated. A friend had conceived through IVF with donor sperm, so we approached our GP, who explained the waiting list was two years minimum. By that time, I could be too old to conceive. I spent months grieving for the child I thought I’d never have.’
Then an internet search for infertility support groups led Jennifer to a website with adverts from both sperm donors and women in need. ‘I couldn’t believe what I was seeing,’ says Jennifer. ‘I knew the UK has a shortage of sperm donors, and we’d been considering spending thousands on IVF, yet here were nearly 1,000 donors on just one website – and none were even charging, they just wanted to help. All you had to pay was £35 for a month’s membership. I registered that night and wrote an advert explaining how much Andy and I wanted a child.
‘Three weeks later, we’ve now chosen a donor from the 10 who responded. We’re hoping to meet him for the first time in a few weeks. We’ve decided not to tell anyone yet – I want to focus on getting pregnant – but we will afterwards. We’re not ashamed, and hopefully we can make any child see that they have no reason to be either. Some people might be shocked, but I’m convinced this is our best chance to have a baby.
