Cradling a baby in his arms, Kenzie Kilpatrick looks like any proud new dad.
But although he is the biological father of three-week-old Tylan, it’s unlikely he will be holding him this close again.
For Mr Kilpatrick, who is gay, donated his sperm to a lesbian couple so they could have this baby. The 26-year-old has fathered ten children by nine women in the past 13 months, giving his sperm free of charge to women he met through Facebook.
Mr Kilpatrick said he began donating sperm, mostly to lesbian couples, because he wanted to do something to help others.
His own upbringing means he does not think a man is a necessary ingredient in a happy family. Mr Kilpatrick’s father walked out when he was five, leaving his mother to bring him up on her own.
‘You would see him one year and then you wouldn’t see him for a couple of years. I’ve only now, in my 20s, started speaking to him,’ he said.
‘My mum taught me to shave. My mum taught me to drink a beer. She’s my rock. With the lesbian couples I couldn’t think of anything better than having two mums.
‘My mum has been fab. Women just do a better job – they’ve got it in their blood.’
Mr Kilpatrick, from Birmingham, did not know any of the women he has helped before meeting them online.
He claims to have been contacted by more than a hundred hopeful mothers from as far afield as Colombia, Mexico and Poland. But after fathering ten babies, he has decided to stop.
He is in the process of agreeing to co-parent a child – he and the mother will each care for the baby but will not be in a relationship.
