We run this site in our spare time to help women- we are not a business/ organisation. Membership fees and message board posting payments simply enable us to operate the site.
Our Free-Sperm-Donations.com site was created
in 2004
by Emma Hartnell-Baker - also known as The Child Listener
Emma is an Education (Literacy) and Behaviour advisor with
a BEd Hons and MA,
and is currently working towards a
Doctorate in Queensland.
Emma created the site in 2004 to
help single women, infertile and lesbian couples
become pregnant
using donor sperm
(self-insemination) due to an increasing decline in
sperm within worldwide
sperm banks, and
especially following the changes
in UK law relating
to
sperm donor anonymity. She believes everyone should be given the opportunity to
be a parent, regardless of fertility, marital status, sexuality etc
- all she
asks
is that members research their decision fully, and
ensure that they are
in a position to offer a child the love, support
and financial stability
they deserve before they embark
on this journey.
Emma will offer advice and information relating to meeting the emotional needs of children born
from alternative methods- eg sperm donation.
For example -when and how to tell children, what happens if they want to contact the
donor father etc. Becoming pregnant or going through the adoption/ surrogacy process is only the first step.
We must focus on the
children,
as well as how to become parents in the first place.
Good luck everyone

Emma:-)
