A Lesbian couple are celebrating the birth of twin boys after using free
sperm from a gay man who advertised his services on Facebook.
Rebecca and Vikki Lomax always wanted children after their white wedding
in October 2013.
However, they found the cost of using sperm from a licensed clinic too
expensive at around £1,500 a go.
Then they hit across Kenzie Kilpatrick, 26, who had set up a Facebook
page to advertise his services for free.
Demand for Mr Kilpatrick’s sperm has been so great he has tried to help
50 women with the result of fathering ten babies by nine of them.
Six of the nine have given birth producing two girls and five boys –
including the set of twins for the Lomaxes. Three more babies are said to be on
the way.
But Mr Kilpatrick, a former carer from Birmingham, was criticised by a
local charity Kids Need Both Parents who claimed he had opened himself up to
potential problems by donating directly to couples instead of via a licensed
clinic.
Happy parents Rebecca, a janitor, and Vikki, a bar worker, however, have
nothing but praise for their donor – and say they are hoping he will help them
have another child.

She said: ‘On it there were men advertising their
sperm and women who were looking for sperm donors. Originally we began talking
to another man but Kenzie was so helpful – he said if we had any worries to go
to him and he would help. He was so kind we decided we wanted him to donate his
sperm and thankfully he was happy to oblige.’ In September last year the women
travelled to Birmingham, staying in a hotel where they met Mr Kilpatrick. The
three signed a contract stating Mr Kilpatrick will not have any access to any
baby and the couple would not ask him for any money to help bring them up. Mr
Kilpatrick also told them he did not have any health issues and had been tested
for sexually-transmitted diseases.
Vikki said: ‘Kenzie provided four sample pots
over the weekend and each time Rebecca artificially inseminated herself.’ To
their delight two weeks later Rebecca discovered she was pregnant.
According to Rebecca‘There is a history of twins in my family. But we
were still shocked and thrilled when at the routine 12-week scan we found it
was twins.’
On May 16, the babies were delivered by C-section. Samuel, weighing 6lb
12oz, was delivered first followed a minute later by brother Alfie, 6lb 4.5oz.
Vikki said: ‘They were perfect and we celebrated by sending Kenzie a
photo of them on Facebook.’
The twins have not met their father but the Lomaxes say they will be
honest with the children about how they were conceived.
