What do you do if you’re approaching 40, single, and want a child?
Adoption is an option, but it can be an extremely difficult and time-consuming process. Going to a sperm bank is also an option, but some women find it can be too impersonal.
That was the case for Lisa. Although she had initially decided to visit a sperm bank when trying to conceive, she had a change of heart and decided to talk to her best friend Toby instead.
She asked him if he would help her become a mother by providing his own sperm.
His answer was truly remarkable.
Mia Freedman sat down with them both to learn a bit more about their unique situation.
