Woman Regrets Using Facebook to Find Sperm Donor
A woman named Laura in England wanted another child, so she looked for a sperm donor on Facebook instead of going through expensive treatments.
She found a donor and had a baby boy named Callum.
Sadly, Callum has some developmental issues, and other children with the same donor have had similar problems.
Laura now worries that the donor's genetics may have caused these issues.
She regrets her choice because she didn't know enough about the donor and warns others against doing the same.
Laura Coldman, from England, used Facebook to find a sperm donor.
She had a son, Callum, born in April 2022.
Callum has developmental issues and is on a waiting list for testing.
Laura believes Callum's issues may be linked to the donor's genetics.
