Kenzie Kilpatrick is a 26-year-old openly gay man from England with a burning desire to help women have a long-wished-for baby.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So after browsing Facebook and seeing ads posted by men offering to donate their sperm, the former caretaker decided to advertise his own services on Facebook, creating the page \u201cDrama Free UK Sperm Donors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Potential moms immediately began contacting him. \u201cI had interest from gay, straight, and single wannabe mums and dads,\u201d Kilpatrick tells Yahoo Parenting.<\/p>\n

Since the ad was posted in June 2014, Kilpatrick has helped 50 women.\u00a0And his baby-daddy services have been fruitful. Six of the women have given birth to two girls and five boys (including a set of twins) in the last 10 weeks. Three more babies are due within a month.<\/p>\n

Kilpatrick does it purely to help women and couples who desperately want to be parents, he says. \u201cI have helped people to make a family, something they have truly longed for,\u201d he recently told the\u00a0Birmingham Mail. \u201cYou can\u2019t beat the feeling that gives you. It seems that I am incredibly fertile. And as a man, that does give me a sense of pride.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the age of assisted reproduction, it\u2019s not the fact that he\u2019s a sperm donor that\u2019s so striking but the way he delivers his genetic material: in person. After trading messages with a woman via Facebook, they\u2019ll meet at her home or a hotel room. He never asks for a fee for his sperm. \u201cI only ask that travel and hotel costs be covered,\u201d says Kilpatrick.<\/p>\n

Once there, he\u2019ll produce a fresh sperm sample in private.\u00a0The woman alone or with her partner can use a home insemination kit to make their baby as soon as they wish.<\/p>\n

When he became a sperm donor for hire, Kilpatrick decided not to go through a sperm bank or fertility center because of the high fees involved. \u201cIt\u2019s too expensive,\u201d he says. \u201cA child shouldn\u2019t have a price, nor should happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Forgoing a sperm bank or fertility center can be a risky move for recipients, especially for health reasons. \u201cSperm banks have regulations in place that mandate each sperm sample be tested for a range of diseases when it first comes in,\u201d Dr.\u00a0Jamie Grifo, program director at the NYU Langone Fertility Center, tells Yahoo Parenting.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s then\u00a0frozen and quarantined for six months before being thawed and retested.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sperm is tested not just for HIV, hepatitis, and other sexually transmitted diseases, but it also undergoes genetic testing to find recessive genes that might lead to a baby being [born] with conditions such as cystic fibrosis,\u201d says Grifo.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s the potential for legal issues. In the United States, sperm donors who go through a sperm bank are shielded from ever being named the legal parent and forced to support a child, says Grifo.<\/p>\n

But if a man just hands over sperm to a woman, he could potentially end up being listed as the child\u2019s father on the birth certificate. \u201cThe waters are muddy regarding what makes a legal parent,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

For his part, Kilpatrick says he has been tested for STDs, and, since under UK law, he is the children\u2019s legal father, he has the women who use his sperm sign a contract (the terms of which he didn\u2019t disclose).<\/p>\n

He also says he has no interest in seeing the kids that are born because they aren\u2019t his children. \u201cI do want my own kids soon, [but] I\u2019d not like to put a date to when,\u201d says Kilpatrick.<\/p>\n
