At least that is what happened to one Austrailian woman who is now engaged to the sperm donor that enabled become a mother again after having lost multiple children. Via MailOnline : The heartwarming tale of a woman who tracked down and fell in love with the ‘anonymous’ sperm donor who gave her a healthy baby girl could be made into a Hollywood movie have now announced their engagement. Newspaper, magazine and TV offers have come flooding in from all over the globe after Victorian couple Aminah Hart and Scott Andersen told their incredible story on the ABC on Monday night. The couple’s incredible romance has got more serious since Scott proposed while they were on holiday in Thailand with their daughter. At the age of 42 newly single Aminah Hart made a decision that changed her life in a way that she never could have imagined, leading her to meet and fall in love with the stranger whose sperm she used to conceive her daughter. At the time, the Melbourne professional wanted to have a child but had already suffered the tragic loss of two sons due to a genetic disorder called x-linked myotubular myopathy, a condition that affects muscles used for movement and occurs almost exclusively in boys. Her first son Marlon, conceived with her former husband, died at the age of four months, while she was living in England, and in 2010 when Aminah was living back in Australia, Louis – fathered by a former partner – died at the age of 14 months. ‘You can’t really put it into words. I had two relationships and two children but it wasn’t until the second one that I got a diagnosis of the genetic disorder,’ Aminah told Daily Mail Australia. ‘It took me a long time to make the decision and I considered everything: my age, social status and that I carried a fatal genetic disorder… I had the understanding that I wasn’t a great prospect.’ Aminah decided to ‘give it one last go’. The donor that stood out from the three was a man who described himself as ‘happy and easy going’ with a strong work ethic. She had grown up without knowing her own father, having last seen him when she was just 11 months old, so she was keen for her future child to meet their father. ‘Scott said on his profile that he was happy to meet any child that was conceived,’ Aminah added. Meanwhile, Aminah’s mother Helen had grown increasingly interested in who Leila’s father might be as her blonde hair and blue eyes were in contrast to Aminah’s West Indian appearance. Despite thinking it wasn’t a good idea at first, when her mum became convinced she’d found Leila’s father Aminah decided to contact the agency and offer her details in case he wanted to get in touch or see a photo of his daughter. Scott responded and the pair began exchanging emails, Aminah sent photos of Leila and by the time their daughter was one year old they had decided it was time to meet in person. ‘It was quite surreal that it was not uncomfortable. There was a little bit of romance born that night,’ Aminah remembered. Aminah sees their relationship as a ‘beginning rather than a happy ending’ and calls it a ‘really beautiful chapter’ in her life full of ‘happiness and joy’. OrangeSkyLaundry
