DIY Baby™ - Find a sperm donor with DIY Baby- Creating Choices!

Welcome!

The Child Listener™ created FSDW (Free-Sperm-Donations.com) in 2004 to offer choices to single women, lesbian and infertile couples who are looking for a sperm donor- and to enable donors to have more say in who they donated to. Many men are happy to donate to help women without payment- through AI only. However they want to know that their sperm is going to a woman or couple who are emotionally and financially stable, and likely to be raised with love and kindness, and be given the opportunity to develop to their potential.

People have embraced the site concept- and welcomed the opportunity to connect in the FSDW members only area- private sperm donors know they have the right to choose who they donate to- and members can take the time to find 'their' sperm donor. All enjoy being able to make their own arrangement- with some sperm donors choosing to have no involvement post conception, some happy to take on an uncle type role and many willing to discuss a more proactive arrangement- even to formally co-parent.
The Child Listener™ (Emma Hartnell-Baker) vigilantly moderates the site - ensuring that the behaviour code is upheld- and offering free support and advice. Her primary concern is that potential parents think carefully about how they are to meet the needs of the child. Her members are a mixture of single women, lesbian and infertile couples- from all over the world.

The site is set up like a dating site- but with members joining to connect with sperm donors. There are no guarantees- and everyone is expected, as responsible adults, to carefully consider whether the decision to procede with a private donation or co-parenting agreement is right for them and to take steps to protect themselves at all time. This includes learning about the legal implications, and protecting their health. Through DIY Baby™ we offer related services.

The Child Listener™ is currently based in Queensland, Australia and is about to expand to offer a range of 'DIY Baby™ services- sperm donation, egg donation, surrogacy and more -and to create a supportive and knowledgeable community worldwide.

An Idea Created in 2004 by The Child Listener™
The Child Listener™- Creator of DIY Baby™- Creating Choices

Emma Hartnell-Baker was given the name 'The Child Listener™' because of her work
with disengaged teenagers and families in crisis. Children and teens speak of her ability
to not only listen to them but also actually hear what it is they are trying to say!
She is an advocator of child's rights- and in ensuring that all children have the opportunities they deserve- regardless of the situation they were brought into. She is aware of the additional difficulties experienced by children who were conceived through sperm donation. As this is something that is happening more and more often within the modern world she wanted to create a place where people can do this as safely and responsibly as possible- not only focussing on the conception and pregnancy, but also in meeting the emotional needs of the child born as a result. She offers:
  1. Workshops and Seminars for Prospective Parents- Considering Sperm Donation
  2. Workshops and Seminars for Men Considering Sperm Donation and Co-Parenting Options
    outside of a Licenced Facility
  3. Workshops and Seminars for Parents of Children Born Through Sperm Donation- either Raising the Child/ Children with or without the Donor.
    These include specific courses for adults who have chosen - or who are thinking about - a
    co-parenting relationship- where there is no sexual or romantic relationship between the parents.
    The Child Listener™ will help you work out a plan that will help you to communicating effectively and raise your child (or children) together despite your differences. This is a fairly new way to parent- and she encourages parents to use a preventative approach to parenting difficulties. It's like back to front divorced parents!- avoiding the conflict and stress- and learning to develop a strong relationship that benefits the parents and also the child..

    She will also offer a wide range of Child and Teenage Behaviour Management services for Parents and Teachers. Email DIY Baby™ with Your Questions!

    The Child Listener's new office 'DIY Baby™ opens in the New Year.

Dear Emma,
Well here we are, at the end of 2009, a strange year, nerve wracking year, but a wonderful year.
It was a year ago that I made the decision to join your site, at 34 knowing I was ready to become a Mum.  I was amazed at the response, but to me I knew I had to find the right donor for this to work, not down to characteristics but just a feeling..
On January 4th I had an email from someone, who was outside my age bracket that I was searching in, from another country (i'm in the UK and he was in Canada) but something was very easy & after a couple of emails it was very apparent, if I was to go ahead with this whole process, he was the one.
Luckily he felt the same way about me, after choosing who he wanted to help very carefully, and had been registered for some time.
So In May, we met for the first time as he was in the UK, my dates weren't quite right, ovulation happened 2 days prior to his arrival. In June we tried again, but again the dates were only just within the fertile window, but it was third time lucky when I fell pregnant when he was back in the UK in July.
I'm now 25 weeks through, we have an amazing friendship for life - he has mde this a very positive and amazing journey so far. 
So I just want to say to anyone, be open in what you think you are looking for, find the
RIGHT donor and don't base that on geography alone.
So Thank you Emma, for your wonderful site, without it, I wouldn't be pregnant now & I woudln't have met this wonderful, generous man who will be a friend for life.....
All the best
H
