NIGERIAN mother Seyi Joseph has successfully
given birth to two children in partnership with gay
father Robert under the UK's co-parenting laws
that have enabled her to use his donated sperm
to get pregnant.
Taking advantage of the online advertisement of
sperm banks, Ms Joseph, has successfully given
birth to sons Alex and Elias with her gay spouse
who impregnated her through artificial
insemination. Seyi, 38, who grew up in London
and Nigeria, decided to pursue this course of
action after plans to find Mr Right proved
abortive and she realised her dream of having
children was at risk.
Bradford-born Seyi now raises her two kids with
Robert who she attends events with and shares
everything else with save for the fact that they
are not sexual partners. Co-parents are two
people who want children but may not have
found the one to do it with or are not able to
have offspring themselves.
Ms Joseph said: "I had always known I wanted
to be a mum. Naturally growing up I expected to
meet Mr Right, fall in love and build a family with
him but unfortunately I don’t have much luck
when it comes to men.
"I applied for adoption in 2003 and after a year of
intense scrutiny, I was turned down on account
of being too young, too single and likely to get
into a relationship, so that’s when I decided to
use a donor to conceive. Whilst I was trying to
adopt I had read quite a lot about donor children,
their feelings and experiences and about how not
knowing their biological background affects their
sense of identity."
She then decided she wanted to meet the donor
who would father her children and set up a
meeting with Robert, 47, a bus driver from Luton.
According to Seyi, her African background made
it imperative that a child have as much
information as possible about their biological
background and know their biological parents.
Seyi added: "I had been in touch with quite a
number of possible donors but hadn’t found
someone who shared my values and who was
happy to have his identity known or be involved
in our children’s lives. I was at the point of
giving up when I contacted Robert and found we
both have a similar outlook to life and similar
views on parenting.
"I was working overseas at the time so we had
time to get to know each other properly via
email for almost a year before eventually
meeting up. Robert and I are great friends, so
much so this is the longest relationship I’ve had
with a man who is not a relative."
They opted for artificial insemination and
consequently gave birth to Alex, six and Elias,
two, who live with their mother but see their
father every other week. Whenever possible they
do things together as a family such as going to a
farm, or fair or live shows.
Seyi's experience spurred a business venture as
she subsequently launched website
Feelingbroody.com for men and women looking
for donor or fellow co-parents. Her company
charges a £150 registration fee and a further
£395 for those seeking co-parents.
