Looking For A Donor
The first step was to find a sperm donor and Jessica’s excited wife suggested her to consider her brother-in-law as a donor. Even though the guy was immediately interested in being their donor, Jessica couldn’t approve this option.
Sperm Donation
Jessica knew that several courts recognize sperm donation as a parenting act. And in case anything goes wrong with the birth mom, the court won’t think twice in handing over the custody of the baby to the donor. Keeping worst-case scenarios in her mind, Jessica didn’t want anyone known to be the donor. The best option for them was that of a complete stranger who would never be interested in their lives after the donation.
A More Plausible Option
As Jessica shared her knowledge of custody rights with her wife, they both agreed on dropping their first choice for the donor. Therefore, they were now supposed to restart their search from the beginning. They went through the terms and conditions of all the sperm banks they came across.
Delivering Home
Luckily, after searching for several weeks the couple eventually selected the most suitable sperm bank. They were offering the delivery of the “precious” product at their doorstep. Moreover, the sperm bank made these anonymous donors sign the legal documents to restrain them from all sorts of custody rights. Everything was as they wanted and hence, the first step was taken.
Choosing The Best Candidate
The sperm bank kept a record of the possible donor’s background, interests and profession. This gave the couple a chance to opt the donor on the basis of their preferences. Like it happened with them in all other matters also, Jessica and her wife were looking for the same type of donor. They were looking for the one who has an interest in literature and sports.
A Taxi Driver
So, when the couple came across the profile of a writer and a musician, they immediately felt to give it a shot. Furthermore, his other details were satisfactory too. He was a man of average height and weight with wavy brown hair. The last piece of information was his profession of a taxi driver. Both Jessica and her wife found him as the right choice for their baby without even asking for his picture.
