Donors, which I want to join, where I just feel like I didn't

know there were groups like that whereshe connected. I don't know if I
would trust that if I got arequest from a Canadian sperm donor, I
might ignore that one. It's notwild. But she did connect with a
potential donor that she liked. Theymet in person and she decided to give
things a go. But the pregnancycame with some complications. But this is
the best part of the whole story. Her sperm donor was with her every

(00:45):
step of the way, and shehad lots of issues during her pregnancy.
