Starting a family

Jessica Share wanted to start a family. However, things were a little trickier than she first imagined, and she was left looking for a way to make her dreams come true. Little did Jessica know that her adventure to have children would eventually lead her to meet her boyfriend a decade after giving birth to his daughter.

Things might have been against them in the past, but now it seemed as though everything was coming together.



Looking for options


It wasn’t long after Jessica and her girlfriend started to date that they both realized one thing: both of them wanted to start a family. They dreamed of having children and wanted to do anything to make their family a reality. The women wondered about using a donor they knew.

Unfortunately, Jessica learned from a legal course that their child would be handed to the man if the biological mother passed away. This meant their family could be split even further if the worst were to happen. They needed to find another way to welcome a child into the world.

Finding a match

Thankfully, Jessica and her girlfriend soon tied the knot and decided that a sperm bank was the way to make their dreams come true. They read through many donors, but there as one that stood out to them both. He was a writer and musician.

The women instantly fell for the man on the page even though they knew little about him. Jessica and her wife would often fantasize about his life. They decided Jessica would carry the baby as she was working at home. Alice was later born in 2005. The women both fell for their daughter and knew they wanted another.



Another addition

Alice was everything both of them had ever wanted, so the couple decided to use the same donor for their second baby. Jessica’s wife would carry their new addition, but the two children would still be biologically related. The pair welcomed their second daughter to the world just 18 months after Alice was born.

They soon noticed that both girls shared many similarities and looked just like sisters. However, things were about to change. Alice was three and their other daughter was only one when Jessica’s wife announced that she wanted a divorce. It seemed entirely out of the blue.

A sudden split

Although Jessica had no idea what happened, she continued to care for their daughters five days a week for the next few years. That was until Alice turned 10 years old. Her ex-wife proceeded to block Alice’s number and wanted nothing more to do with her other daughter.

To top it off, she headed on vacation with their other daughter and never returned. Alice and Jessica haven’t seen her since. It looked as though this was just the beginning for this family as Alice longed for her sister. The need to know what happened eventually led Alice to wonder more about the rest of her family.
