Almost two football teams

I have had a very busy week, what with work, our three young boys, and some idiot having a head-on collision with my car which has written it off, I had forgotten that I had emailed the clinic for an update.

The email came this afternoon, to date, there have been:

• 8 girls
• 10 boys

born to 10 families.

In 2009 there were 7 births, in 2010 there were 3 births, and in 2012 there were 8 births.

Paperwork is all good for the next few years, and the clinic has an ample supply of straws should the families choose to have siblings for their children.

A very nice note was also included in the email from the clinic:

Your donations have made a huge difference to a very many peoples’ lives and we would like to thank you wholeheartedly for this.

It is all very humbling for me.

I would like to wish all of the families, the Mums and Dads, grandparents and above all - the children, all the best for the future.

Year 8 is here

It's been around 8 years since I started this journey, so here's a quick update from me.

My wife and I have three healthy, lovely young boys. We've chatted to them about, "Daddy helping out other grown-ups" which they accept without any difficult questions. I'm happy to answer those questions if/when they do arise.

I've just contacted my clinic to ask them if all of my donations have been used, and if not, whether they would like an extension to retain my donations - the paperwork I have gives 10 year retention.

Finally, and the piece I am also curious about - how many children / families are there?
