A woman managed to welcome a baby girl after she ordered an insemination kit on the internet.
Per The Daily Star, 33-year-old Stephenie Taylor from Teeside in the UK yearned to have a second child but wasn’t willing to enter into another relationship. Unfortunately, private fertility clinics were also far too expensive for her and therefore, out of the question.
But all was not lost for the now-mom-of-two, who managed to order sperm from an app called Just A Baby and purchased an insemination kit from eBay.
After watching some tutorials on the process of self-insemination, she would eventually conceive her youngest, a daughter named Eden. Taylor fell pregnant with Eden following just one try after her donor came to her home to hand her his sperm.
Taylor was already the mother of a son, four-year-old Frankie, whom she shares with a former partner. She wanted her son to have a sibling and so made arrangements to complete her small family.
The doting mom was specifically looking for the sperm of a man with family values and no history of significant illnesses, and one who looked similar to her so that their offspring would resemble Frankie.
Within just one day of using the app, she found her ideal candidate. Following three weeks of writing back and forth, the unnamed man came by in January 2020 to personally hand-deliver his own sperm.
Taylor and the donor got on well and got to know one another over a cup of tea, she said. And just two weeks after using his sample to conceive, she learned that the attempt had been successful.
While Taylor’s mom and sister were thrilled by the happy news, her father took some time to adjust to his granddaughter’s unconventional conception. However, Taylor now has her father’s full support.
Taylor said she would be happy for Eden, who was born on October 15, 2020, to meet her biological father if she wanted to. Furthermore, the donor has since said he would be willing to give Taylor more of his sperm, should she need it.
