Woman marries sperm donor after tracking him down and falling for him

A back to front love story

Published 24th Mar 2016

Australian woman Aminah Hart decided she wanted to track down the anonymous sperm donor who fathered her daughter Leila, but got more than she bargained for when the two fell in love.

Aminah decided to turn to a sperm donor after previously having two sons who sadly died as babies. The 45-year-old selected the Australian cattle farmer because he listed himself as “happy and healthy”.

She discovered Scott Andersen's identity after searching for him based on the few details she had and then contacting him through the official IVF register.

Scott decided he would meet daughter Leila and just after her first birthday he met up with her and her mother for a formal introduction.

Scott told The Telegraph: “Neither of us expected it to happen. I fell in love with Leila before I fell in love with Aminah."

Aminah has since published a book about her story.
