Promoting Safe, Responsible Private Free Sperm Donations Worldwide - KNOWN Sperm Donations Only

Welcome to DIY Baby/ FSDW !
Helping to build families where children know their of their origins.

FSDW was the first of it's kind in the world !

Baby Mia, who weighed 6lb 2oz at birth, made medical history as Britain's first internet sperm baby - conceived with sperm supplied by a stranger on FSDW. Her biological father, a 42-year-old father-of-three from London, who works in reproductive medicine, said he wanted to help a childless couple by offering his sperm for free on the internet through FSDW.

 

FSDW now has over 4000 registered free sperm donors who have helped over 2600 women and couples become parents since 2003.


THANK YOU !

 

Welcome to FSDW

FSDW expectations are higher because we are speaking out for children and not just trying to help everyone and anyone become a parent. However we have to set higher standards regarding sperm donations outside
of clinics, and show the authorities that this should be a solution before they see what other sites are facilitating and close us all down!

Join FSDW- and together we can develop a intelligent, kind, safe and responsible 'DIY Baby™ spermConnecting single women, infertile and lesbian couples with private sperm donors since 2003. Join me- creating parenting choices! donation' community.
The current 'regulated' routes - ie fertility clinics - are not offering choices that effectively meet the needs of all recipients, sperm donors and sperm donor conceived children. And a new 'breed' of web sites that are being created do NOT promote safe and responsible child focused arrangements. I saw recently that coparent-match are advertising 'anonymous donors' as if this is a good thing! It isnt- unless site revenue is your underlying concern- not the children being created.

FSDW donors donate through AI only, for free, and everyone using the FSDW member's area is able to connect (and then make their own arrangement) - all agreeing to abide by the DIY Baby™ Behaviour Code which focuses around AI only, known, free sperm donations.
Supporting single women, infertile and lesbian coupes, creating loving families!

Over the past year or so there has been a massive increase in the number of Australian sperm donors-FSDW now has more than all Australian sperm banks combined! For example

Western Australia - Lesbian couple used online sperm to conceive their son It took Ms Patterson, 22, and Ms O'Sullivan just one day to find the sperm donor of their chubby, healthy baby.

"We used the internet to look up options and a lot involved frozen sperm shipped over from overseas, and a lot of sites were not monitored, so it felt very unsafe," Ms Patterson said.

The donor has a family of his own and was willing to play a small role in the child's life. "We had the sperm tested and then the following month we got pregnant the first time," Ms Patterson said.

"Jacob is going to know he has a dad, but he does not live with us, like many children. The donor comes to visit twice a year, so it is important to him to know who his dad is."

We never thought we would find it all so easy. Within 2 days of joining your site we had found the man of our dreams- and he is happy to be contacted by our child when old enough to ask and understand the role this amazing man had in his creation. Our son is now almost 2 and we wanted to write again to so thank you. Words can't express the joy our son brings to our lives- and to our families. And words cant express our gratitute to you for connecting us with our son's donor dad.
F**** and S** xxx

FSDW is still the ONLY site in the world to ONLY promote and facilitate only AI (no sex) known (children deserve to know of their origins even though you will be parenting) free (no payment for sperm- only expenses) NO SHIPPING (how can you know its safe, actually sperm or from the person you think its from?) private sperm donations.

Your details in the members only area will NOT be spidered and listed with google. Please work with FSDW to retain your privacy.

FSDW was created as we knew that children would not want to be conceived using anonymous sperm donors at clinics, where they could know nothing of their origins. Even though those raising them are the 'real' parents children are still curious about their heritage as we all are!


" I can't find out much about my origins from this sperm bank catalogue Mum. What's he like?"




Hi
I wrote to you last year in March and joined your website soon afterwards.
I am very happy to say that I conceived first time by a donor from your website (Free Sperm Donations.com). I am now a very proud mummy to baby Adam born 25 Feb 2011
Is there anyway I can put a testimonial on your website?I’d like to give hope to any woman going through what I went through to have my own child.Despite it being a rather complicated ‘set-up’ I have an amazing loving and understanding husband who is smitten with his son even though he is not ‘biologically’ his.I am a very lucky person! Thanks for having this service. I hope you write soon. Best wishes

FSDW knows that many intelligent, kind men men WANT to choose who will be raising the child created using their sperm. They want to donate to help - but not to everyone and anyone! They will often only donate to one or two women or couples, and will choose those most likely to raise the child with love and stability and who are emotionally (and preferably financially) stable. Most FSDW donors would not donate to young single women without a lot of questions. A donor SHOULD be asking questions in this regard. If not then why is he donating? On other sites for money and/ or sex. FSDW is strictly AI only. As they arent getting sex or money they are much more likely to be offering to help for altruistic reasons, and because their conscience would not allow them to bring a child into the world who they are not going to be raising, without knowing who will be the 'real' parents.


So FSDW is not about creating babies; it is about creating babies who will be raised in wonderful homes, and know who they are and where they come from. So choice of donor- and recipient- matters!






FSDW was created so that would-be-parents could choose the donor as if they were the child choosing the donor!
He is so much more than just a sperm producer- and if not to you, then to your child!


YOU are the real parents as you will earn that role in their heart- but to honour the child you must honour their origins.
Choose wisely... and that's why FSDW was created. Safe, responsible choices. Reducing risk as much as possible but also building families! With a world reknown family coach supporting you....



FSDW helps single women, lesbian and infertile couples who have a common goal- of finding a men who will donate to them for free, and ask for no money or sex. They want to know about the biological father of their child even though they will be the 'real' parent/s raising the child.

 

 


 

So why NOT use a clinic or sperm bank?



Baby Mia was born after years of trying on IVF and thousands of pounds spent.
Your child cannot find out about their origins until at least 18, you cant talk to your child about him, your child cant meet him before 18 if he or she wants (or their half sibblings etc) and its EXPENSIVE.


Many infertile couples start trying with FSDW after years of trying IVF and having spent all of their savings. 6 weeks later and around $30 down they are pregnant! (testimonials available- eg Baby Mia the first recorded Internet Baby)


THOUSANDS of women and couples are now proud and happy parents, and incredibly grateful to the wonderful FSDW donors who are helping them for genuine reasons, and not for something in return eg money or sex. There have been NO legal or health issues, which Emma maintains is due to sharing information about the risks, having a behaviour code and encouraging all involved to put the child first- even before conception!
Most FSDW sperm donors will keep trying with you until you fall pregnant, and many are so knowledgeable that they will give you tips and advice about how to have a successful pregnancy quickly!




ONLY genuine, amazing men need apply to be a FSDW sperm donor. Men who will donate for free, AI only and be known.

In return for donating safely (being fully tested regularly) intelligently and sensitively with the bigger picture in mind (especially the child) The Child Listener™ will do everything in her power to support you, along with her legal team. These men care about the child and the life they will lead, even though they agree not to interfere with the parenting.


FSDW helps people to have a healthy successful pregnancy and ALSO remain risk free after the child is born.
To do this you must separate sex from sperm donation for numerous reasons, including legal, emotional and health reasons. This is why FSDW is strictly AI only and always has been.

 


DID YOU KNOW

If a private sperm donor has sex and is then sued for child support the fact that sex was involved will almost certainly lead to 18 years of child support! AI (no sex) shows clear intent. It can be the difference legally between remaining a sperm donor and becoming a parent, whether you want that or not.

 

Read article about how to choose a sperm donor for free, legal sperm donations outside of clinics. However these guidelines may soon change as the authorities try to crack down on private donations.

FSDW chooses not to talk to the press publically about sperm donation for these reasons. Those who are talking publically are putting sites like FSDW at risk of being closed down. Anyone reading that the creator of one site conceived after collecting a pot at Starbucks must realise the implications, and who will start to sit up and take notice- and take action. This is NOT in the interest of public health. Nor is it seen as being in the interest of the child who is usually protected by law and the father expected to support the child. There are numerous issues and risks with private sperm donation, however FSDW has been working hard for over 9 years to reduce them- to help people build families outside of clinics (where she claims the child's rights and needs at at the bottom of their list of priorities) but ALSO do this as safely as possible, putting the child first. FSDW is adamant that the focus is not about bringing children into the world- but on bringing children into the world to women and couples able to raise then well- and using sperm donors who care about the child even if not raising them- and will be available for questions and to meet the child if that is what the child wants.


FSDW are appalled to hear of sperm donors fathering more than a few children, and of men agreeing to 'donate to very young single women through 'free sex' under the guise of 'altruistic sperm donation'. Many of these women cant support themselves emotionally or financially let alone their children.
Those who use FSDW therefore tend to be much more enlightened and responsible, with the average age of single women using donors on FSDW being over 25.

FSDW helps people connect and develop their own child focused arrangement- eg co-parenting without romance - and is adamantly opposed to anonymous
sperm donation arrangements. FSDW advises all to turn their backs on options currently offered commercially through the fertility authorities- even when information is shared with the child at 18 she says this is too late.
Children Deserve to Know Where They Come From


Please say no to commercial sperm donation practices and epecially to anonymous sperm donations. Read Why The Child Listener™ urges would-be parents

Hi  - just to let you know I'm leaving the members area. Your website has been successful in bringing together two like-minded singleton's to have a child together whilst were still young ('ish)! Thank you for this - we'll keep you updated, hopefully a healthy happy baby before the end of the year. kind rgds h**


Building familiesAre you a sperm 'Donor Dad' - or want to enter into an arrangement whereby you know of how the child is doing after conception- or even to co-parent?
Options for being in contact with the child are not available when you donate through a sperm bank. If however you donate sperm through

Free Sperm Donations Worldwide (FSDW) you can choose who to donate to- and make your own arrangement, that more effectively caters for the needs of the children born as a result ie for information and ideally some connection.

Please also use the new free support network- 'My Donor Dad' - launching shortly- and the home to Visit the new Donor Dad Support Netork- My Donor Dadour new 'Sibling Donor Registry' - 2012. This is a secure private area (not spidered by search engines) where FSDW donors and members can keep in touch safely AFTER conception and not worry about potential legal issues- being sued for child support, or for parental responsibility.
You can liaise through the free members area using your FSDW unique identifier code, asking and answering relevant questions etc. Trained professionals are on hand to resolve any issues and offer professional support re parenting matter, legal and health issues.
The DC child can also use this to correspond with the donor if and when ready - even before 18. FSDW donors agree to this and welcome this contact by the child.

FSDW lawyers are working with FSDW on the legalities to make sure no court can ever get this information, or force a parent or donor to reveal their true identity- leaving them open to legal action. At present private sperm donation arrangements are NOT generally recognised, and we do not want genuine sperm donors, with honourable intentions, and would-be-parents to stop connecting for fear of these laws. The laws are there to protect the child, however FSDW donors and members have this at the forefront of their minds and why they choose this site- moderated by a professional who is dedicated to children- it is why they choose to join the ONLY 'free, known, AI only (no sex) known sperm donor connections site in the world. There is no hidden agenda that can come ahead of the parents and child's needs- eg payment for the sperm or sex. FSDW is about QUALITY matches and family building- NOT quantity.
FSDW is about helping adults make safe, responsible decisions with the child at the heart of every one of these decisions. Helping making decisions the CHILD would make if they could!
'Pregnancy is only one small part of this journey'

FSDW support FSDW donors and parents for life. The only money you ever pay is to subscribe to the members area and find your donor. All services after that are FREE.

FSDW support The Child Listener to protect the rights and needs of DC children.

 

Sperm donation is a contentious issue for many- although the authorities often only focus on the issues they believe relate to sites such as FSDW. It seems however that they do now have grounds to be concerned- and The Child Listener™ urges other site owners to also take a stand, separating sex (NI) from private sperm donation arrangements.
FSDW are in agreement



Could you be a FSDW spern donor? Only truly amazing men wanted by women and couples ready to be parents!

FSDW members and sperm donorsr are predominantly caring, intelligent individuals who are well aware of the risks relating to private sperm donation arrangements- and together we talk about them and reduce them- and support one another in the secure FSDW member's only area. I have been proactively supporting single women, gay and infertile couples through the Free Sperm Donations Worldwide site since 2003.
FSDW seek to create a community where donors feel valued- and are more likely to meet women and couples serious about this, and who are financially, physically and emotionally ready to be a parent. The children born through sperm donor conception is always our main focus.


Why are the authorities and the press focusing on the negatives associated with private sperm donation and not the positives?


Jacob's parents made their decision in his best interest- allowing him the opportunity to know who he is and where he comes from.In news rticles within Australia a gorgeous FSDW baby was mentioned- however what wasn't hightlighted was that Jacob's parents chose to offer him the opportunity to meet his 'donor daddy' and know of his origins- and they chose a man who they felt happy to fill this role.
They made a decision that will benefit their son far more than a fertility clinic could have offered. At best Jacob (and his parents) could request information when he turns 18 if they have used a clinic. His biological father (donor dad) would have had no choice in who his sperm would go to- ie who would raise his child- even though he isnt actively involved or wanting any parental rights. If you read articles about children conceived using sperm from fertility clinics you will realise how little the authorities have to offer the child. The sperm donor and Jacob's parents should be congratulated- not condemned by authorities for using fresh sperm (even though they used AI and not sex) which wasnt quarantined. How many couples do this when deciding to have a child? We should be talking about the real issues relating to modern parenting and sperm donation arrangements worldwide - issues the authorities seem determined to ignore. It is time we started to scrutinise the authorities- and how badly they are meeting not only demand but also the rights and needs of all concerned.

We would like to say a big thank-you to you for inventing such a fab site, without it our dream would never had come true, we are actually now planning our 2nd a.i baby with the same donor, it will be the last as it will be number 4 lol as i already had 2 children.

Hi

We got on great. Met a great person who was only too willing to help us out. Your site was a blessing for us, thankyou so much. Keep up your great work in helping all of us who need it.

Hi,
Yes we have been successful after 3 years of trying - and we are both pregnant by the same donor! We are thrilled.  We have met some lovely donors and some nice but unreliable donors - and we have been contacted by the weirdest members of the human race also; 'E*****' from Dorset has been the miracle maker he is very accomodating happy to travel and is very knowledgable and happy to share his experiences (of which there are many- he has fathered several in the past year!) Another amazing guy who we did have success with but unfortunately miscarried at 3 months was 'peterar' from brighton -he was lovely and we became good friends during the process. The only complete weirdo; 'vfertile' who was unpleasant and kept contacting even after we said we were not interested as he would only do natural insemination!

thanks for your site it has made our family! first baby due in 10 weeks - baby 2 due in mar 2011!

thanks 
D and T


Hi
Thanks for your email. I would have kept in touch and told you about any good news in the coming New Year...fingers crossed...
I have found the right donor (with careful consideration),  from your brilliant site :)
We have communicated on a numerous occasions by email and spoken a few times via mobile. He caters to all my expectations... He has agreed to start AI in January.  By that time I would have been on folic acid tablets long enough and checked anything out including his status of health etc.

W***, the Donor has been a perfect gentlemen and been straight forward of his expectations to what type of involvement he wishes - which is contact when the child ( he or she), reaches 18 years old, or earlier if the child wishes it...which is want I wish too...I am travelling to him, staying in an hotel and I am taking a friend with me. W***
lives not far from the station.

I was very surprised and impressed with your FSDW site, especially too how much information you offer. I was very impressed with the information about putting the 'child's needs' first - being honest with he or she about their parentage. This worried me a great deal but your site covered a lot of ground and has made me less anxious about how to approach this sensitive issue to my child in the near future. Yes, I agree honesty is the best approach.  

I cannot think of anything to improve your FSDW site...you have covered everything...if I do think of anything I will email you again.

I was introduced to your site via a friend who has been a surrogate mother in the past, so she is aware of what is involved practically, physical and emotionally etc. She is the friend who is companying me to London.

Fingers crossed that all goes well, which I am sure with the donor I have chosen. I will let you know how it goes or if anything is not above board.

Again Emma thank you for the opportuity you have given me by creating your site, without it I would not have found a donor.

Speak soon V*******

hi,i tried to send an email through your website to emma but for some reason
it wouldnt let me , the reason for my email was to inform you that im leaving the members area as i found a wonderful donor and am now pregnant,
without your website it wouldnt have happend so id like to say a big THANKYOU to everyone who helped, a big thankyou,

Hi

We were very happy to find your site, couldn't believe there were so many men out there ready to donate for nothing, just for a chance to be a father or help someone out. We would like our result to be confidential but are very excited now that Julie's pregnant after the third attempt with M****. He's an lovely, intelligent man and the whole experience was fun and fascinating. He's had all his tests done and we will give him updates occasionally.

The updated site looks great and thank you again for providing people with a way to link together,

Many Thanks

Baby Jake Congrats to L and C!

Becoming a parent may be your dream- take your time finding the righ donor and dont give up even if the process isnt an easy one! Join Free Sperm Donations today and access the database to meet up with one of our fabulous private sperm donors- all willing to donate sperm for free- no fees- artificial insemination only. How wonderful is that! The latest FSDW baby is testiment to what happens with a little patience and the help of a good sperm donor!

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.

Hi ,
 
I have to say I stumbled across your site by chance last year.  I'm so, so glad
I did.  We're a lesbian couple (married for over a year now) who really
want to start a family.
 
We have spent a little while looking at and contacting people on the site who (mostly) have
been very friendly and responded. 
We have now found a truly lovely guy and met him yesterday for the first time after
conversing via email for quite a while.  He really is a truly genuine guy and we have decided to proceed with him
(starting in March).
 
We are both so excited and pleased that we have been able to do this thanks to your site.  I would like to truly thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
  I will inform you when we have success!!!
 
Thanks again Emma
(and the team)

Hi ,  
I want to say im sooooo proud of what you are doing.  You dont know the happiness you bring to peoples lives. 
I couldnt have afforded the cost of the sperm centres
fees and so wouldnt have been able to get another baby ever.You have given me
the chance to hopefully have one more baby before its too late.  Ive waited 16
yrs to find the right man and couldnt so my son who is 16 has no genetic siblings.  My dad has only 2 grandkids out of his four daughters so im happy
and he will be too that he will have another grandchild
.I just joined last week and think I have already found a donor in portugal

Hi FSDW,
 
Thanks for all your help.
 
I saw my gyneo about 2-3 weeks ago, i was given some results saying that i wasn't ovulating, so they told me to stop trying for the time being. Had to have a blood test on the 21st day of my period, but met up with a donor the following day.....turns out i took 5tests yesterday and they all come back saying that i was PREGNANT...couldnt believe it. But am only 2-3wks, but how the doctor works it out more like 6weeks. Ive cancelled my direct debit, but cant seem to do the profile.
 
Please let me know.
 
Thank you for everything you do, it really does make a huge difference.

Hello,
 
I would like to notify you that we are deleting our profile.
 
We have successfully managed to become pregnant
 
WE used donor E*** from bournemouth and after only two attempts we are going to be parents.
 
I will be deleting our account today and would like you to please suspend the transaction taken 28th of each month.
 
I would like to thank you for helping us to become parents.

 

Dear FSDW,

I know you probably get emails like this all the time, but I couldn't not say thank you. I gave birth to my son 4 weeks ago, conceived with the help of a wonderful donor who I met through your site. I can't even find the words to tell you how grateful I am. He's the best thing to ever happen to me, and it's with your help that he's here. Thank you, so much.

Hi FSDW,
 
We where members end of last year and found a suitable donor by the log on on name of Marti. And now we can happily say that we have been successful this month on our 6th attempt, we would like to thank your self first as if we would have never found your web site we would of never of had the chance to become mummy's!
    We are also emailing you to give you an outstanding reference for Marti as he has been very professional, helpful and has been very understanding through the whole process and we don't think that we could have chosen a better person to help us on our way. We would highly recommend Marti as a donor as we feel he is a genuine person and had many successes and is also very reliable in committing to the time that you need him and has offered to help us in the future if we wish to have any more!. Marti is very knowledgeable in the whole process and as our first time doing this made us feel very comfortable and had all the information and advice that we needed.
    We would  be more than happy to help anyone on your site if they need to ask any questions or need advice ,once again thank you so much and if you need to know anything more on Marti please do not hesitate to get in touch.

 

Hi -its s and t here. We would like to tell you that we're over the moon as s is pregnant after the 1st attempt. We met our donor who a very nice person indeed and had a long chat. What you do is truly an amazing thing because without some one like you our dream wouldn't of happened. Thank you so much emma. We will keep u posted and let you know how we're doing. Thank you once more
xx

 

We tried for the first time last month and I'm now pregnant- thank you so much. We weren't expecting it to work first time, and didn't even do an early pregnancy test, so when I missed my period it was a complete shock. we are over the moon with happiness, and can't believe there is magic happening inside of me right now! If it wasn't for this website than our dreams could not have come true. It was so simple,  and our donor was fantastic. This website is brilliant, it's wonderful and inspiring to know that there are people out there like you and our donor that just want to help.

We will send you a picture of our little one in Feb 2010.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Hi ,


Hope you and the site are both doing very well.

I am now 19 weeks along and am pleased to say everything is going really well! No sickness or feeling poorly, and you still can't tell I'm pregnant yet.

Got lots to look forward to, busy doing babys nursery and playroom. All our friends and family are fussing over us both and are as excited as we are!
 
Thanks again, because if it wasn't for you setting up this site, we would still be in that sad and hopeless place we were last August when we joined your site.

I'll send you a pic when our little angel gets here.

Love C

Free Sperm Donations Worldwide (formerly Sperm Donors Worldwide) and DIY Baby™ are now based in Australia- originally created in the UK

The HFEA and other regulatory bodies are trying to close down private sperm donation sites.

An article by Dr Max Pemberton sums it up very nicely- as he says that
'...objections smack of little more than nanny-stateism' .



By Max Pemberton 7:00AM BST 04 Oct 2010

The internet has revolutionised the way we do many things and perhaps it’s most enduring and significant impact has been on how we communicate with one another. For some single women, it has even changed the way they can get pregnant. The Human Fertilisation and Embryo Authority (HFEA) last week announced that it plans to launch an investigation into the legality of websites set up to put women in contact with sperm donors. This follows the recent conviction of two businessmen who acted as “sperm brokers”. They ran a website that couriered fresh samples from donors to women for home insemination.

Most of these websites, however, simply provide a facility for women to make contact with potential donors and the individuals make their own arrangements. But the HFEA claims that the websites are putting women’s health at risk because they are unregulated and there is no official way of screening the donors for sexually transmitted infections such as HIV. Instead it is the sole responsibility of the individuals involved to make arrangements to be screened and ensure that the donor is disease free.

In contrast, fertility clinics operate within specific safeguards, which include screening donors prior to donation and storing samples for six months before use to ensure the male donor is negative for HIV. It is therefore true that there is a risk associated with DIY insemination.

But the HFEA’s objections smack of little more than nanny-stateism. I can’t help but feel they are reacting in this way because their nose had been put out of joint at the thought of people taking fertility into their own hands and undermining their authority. They have helped create an industry around getting pregnant and don’t like the idea that there are some aspects of it that they cannot regulate or control.

In essence what the HFEA is attempting to do is place restrictions around the actions of two consenting adults and what they do in the privacy of their own homes. I really don’t see that this is in their remit. The notion is absurd. What’s to stop women from joining a dating website, meeting someone and sleeping with them and falling pregnant that way? Is the HFEA proposing to ban all forms of dating, just in case there is sperm involved? In a way, all these websites do is provide the modern equivalent of a singles bar, but with the added benefit that both the man and the woman are aware what the other one really wants.

The rhetoric surrounding the condemnation of these sites is also highly patronising to women. There is a suggestion that women, overcome by raging hormones and deafened by the ticking of their biological clock, are acting irrationally and cannot be trusted to make decisions. The truth is that if a single woman wants to get pregnant, she can. It’s been going on for millennia without the help of the internet. Surely it’s better that women are able to make an informed, reasoned decision, get to know the man and request a medical examination on their terms, rather than picking up a stranger in a bar. In fact, the women who use these sites are far from passive, vulnerable victims. They know what they want and are actively taking control in order to obtain it. They are more than capable of analysing the risk to themselves and can take responsibility for their decisions. It also seems to me that this is an example of women making a stand and rejecting the unnecessary commercialisation of fertility, which is now so prevalent. Why should they be forced to pay thousands of pounds to procure sperm through “official” clinics if they don’t want to? Since when did the medical profession have a monopoly on sperm? Of course, that’s not to say there aren’t potential problems with such websites. Legally, the donor remains liable for child maintenance and although couples may draw up contracts stating the donor will have no involvement in the child’s life this is not enforceable under the law. But it’s the HFEA’s responsibility to ensure that people are aware of the law relating to this, not to try to stop the practice itself. After all, men have been making women pregnant long before the HFEA.
