There are health concerns regarding the hundreds of children the three serial donors have fathered, as two of the trio have a rare genetic disorder which affects the liver. It is unknown if any of the children are affected.
Three men from the same family are fathers to over 600 children in a “parallel universe” of unregulated sperm donations.
The phenomenon was uncovered by in a documentary by Noovo Info, revealing how the trio donated sperm to hundreds of women wanting to conceive. The three men, posted adverts to Facebook offering their services, which the women replied to, all not regulated by Health Canada.
Initially, it was reported that there were just two related men who had fathered hundreds of children . It was then discovered that there was much more to the story and there was a third man from the same family involved in the scheme. All of the men are from Quebec.
This became evident after the documentary aired and the documentary creators, Marie-Christine Bergeron and Maxime Landry were contacted by the women affected.

Noovo Info anchor Marie-Christine Bergeron, and the journalist behind the documentary called ” Pere 100 enfants,” said: “We got a lot of feedback from many mothers, so we realized it was a bigger story. So, we continued investigating, and we discovered another sperm donor from the same family. Now, there are more than 600 children from these three men and it’s really a never-ending story.”
Some of the mothers were horrified to learn that their children had multiple half-siblings they did not know about. There are also concerns about the children’s future health as two of the three sperm donors also carry a rare hereditary genetic disorder affecting the liver that could be passed down to the children.
It comes after a serial sperm donor sought to connect with the 96 kids he fathered during college in August. Dylan Stone-Miller, 32, was on a mission to meet all 96 of his long-lost children. He equipped himself with a spreadsheet containing all of their names and his unique sperm bank ID. So far, Dylan has met 25 of them.
All 96 children were a product of Dylan’s sperm donation, which he did because of legal troubles. The Georgia man had been arrested for underage drinking while studying psychology at Georgia State. His parents were unwilling to cover lawyer expenses so he turned to Xytex, which is a sperm bank in Atlanta.
Dylan sold his little swimmers for $100 a piece over the course of six years. He had given the sperm bank permission to provide his contact information to his offspring, although only after they turned 18. For about a decade, Dylan put the sperm donations behind him and carried on with his life.
Everything changed when Dylan received a social message from the adoptive parents of one of his children. Despite his success as a software engineer – and having a son of his own – Dylan is determined to find every last one of his estranged children, so he can be a part of their lives.
