Kenzie Kilpatrick's eighth child was born last week. He is
thrilled, showing me a picture on his phone of the girl - as
yet unnamed - who arrived on Tuesday, July 21, at 10.44am,
weighing 6lb 15oz.
He reads out a message from the mother, which says: 'I'm
so happy to tell you that our little miracle baby girl is here.
All thanks to you. She is beautiful.'
The 26-year-old looks as proud as any new dad, but Kenzie
will play no further part in this child's life.
Nor will he be a parent to his 7 other biological children - all
born, one after the other, in the past 3 months or the 2 who
are due any time now.
So, 3 daughters, 5 sons, including twin boys, and counting.
Half-siblings who share their father's DNA, but not each
other's lives or indeed Kenzie's continued presence as they
grow up
Kenzie, a single gay man, this week emerged as one of
Britain's most prolific freelance sperm donors. Dubbed 'the
Sperminator' by one radio station, at this rate - 10 babies in
fewer than 4 months - he could father 300 children in a
decade.
'When the last 2 babies are born, I will have fathered 10
children, all under 4 months old. It's amazing and I feel so
proud,' says Kenzie, who has taken the rare step of speaking
publicly about the hidden world of independent sperm
donors.
So far he has helped 9 lesbian couples and1 heterosexual
couple to become parents.
'It feels fantastic to have helped so many people in such a
short space of time, but I've decided to stop for now. I may
help provide siblings to my existing couples, but while I
would never say never, I'm not on a mission to populate the
world.'
Kenzie, who says he accepts no payment other than travel
expenses, recites the name of each of his genetic children as
he counts them on his fingers, but adds: 'Please don't ask
me their birthdates. There are too many of them, I get
confused and really they're not my kids. Any man can father
a child, but it takes a parent to love them and bring them up.
I see them as donations.'
 Ever since Kenzie first offered his services for free in June
last year via his Facebook group, called Drama Free UK
Sperm Donors, he says he has been inundated with
hundreds of requests from women desperate for a child.
Operating outside strict regulations which govern clinics
licensed by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology
Authority, Kenzie has no moral issue with fathering children
by women willing to take a risk with someone who is
effectively a stranger.
