Happy families

‘…we just wanted to thank you for all your help last year. Our little girl is now 3½ months old. We can’t believe how quickly its going and she is definitely worth it!…’

‘My partner and I thought long and hard about having a family. We both wanted to be parents, and had been together happily for many years, with a supportive wider family who encouraged us to go for it. After much talking, we conceived our first baby through sperm donation (and later again with sperm from the same donor). It wasn’t something we did lightly, and I am sitting here struggling to find the words to communicate quite how important the decision was, and how having children has transformed our lives. We now have two miraculous children - a son and daughter - whom we adore, and who adore each other. They are bright, happy, confident kids, who have brought so much joy, not just to us, but to our parents (particularly one set who thought they would never be grandparents), and to our sisters, brother and nieces. Sperm donation is the most incredible life-transforming gift, and we are forever grateful to the wonderful man who made it possible for us to create a family.’

‘…I called the clinic today to announce the birth of my little girl. She is in great shape and my friends say she is beautiful. I cannot comment as I am the mother, so obviously biased! Thank you again for your help in allowing me to become a mother!’

‘We will be eternally thankful to our donor, for without his generosity we could never have started our family; his donation was a true act of altruism, and no amount of words can ever show the depth of our gratitude.’

‘…Our recent ICSI cycle has been successful and now I'm ten weeks pregnant with our first child. We would like to reserve “sibling” sperm from the same donor for two additional cycles. We are so excited…thank you…’
