Ellie Ellison had met the father of her child just ten minutes before climbing into bed together.
They had interacted into a one night stand because she wanted him to donate sperm.
These arrangement methods are not seen in the normal clinic. Both parties have to consent in giving and receiving the sperm, and they find each other through the Internet most of the time. These arrangements may sound weird and outdated, but it still goes on in this day and exist.
In the United Kingdom, donor babies are conceived through no-strings-attached hookups. Men offer themselves through dozens of websites such as spermdonorhub.com and co-parentmatch.com
This cuts out the fees of a fertility clinic if they were to use this method — which is more than $1,200 dollars. The average of those offering their goods on websites usually pay more than $200, but it is a big difference in comparison to the fertility clinic method.
The first attempt of trying to get a donor baby was unsuccessful, but her second time was successful with the father of her baby, who is now expected to be delivered in October.
The father of her baby has gotten closer to the mother and they are now deeply in love. He wants to marry Ellie to help raise their baby in the traditional way.
Joe Donor, 50-year-old entrepreneur, has online businesses and was not expecting to fall in love with Ellie. She comments that she’s found her “happy ever after with Joe”.
Joe has around 150 children around the parts of the world for having sex with strangers.
Ellie comments that his “natural insemination days are now over. I didn’t ask him to stop but he decided he would and that makes me feel better because I’m quite insecure. Like Joe, I viewed it as a sperm deposit when we conceived, but I’d be worried that another woman might see it differently and he might end up falling for her”.
At the time, Ellie had a boyfriend alongside a daughter, the couple decided not to speak about it. They were “so happy to get a positive pregnancy” but her boyfriend felt like he could not support Ellie, and ended up moving out. After the event, Ellie was heartbroken and spilled out her feelings to Joe, saying that he was sorry and would help her.
