Fertility fraud

Fertility fraud is when someone lies or tricks someone else to get them pregnant or father a child using their sperm or eggs. It is like if someone took your favorite toy without asking and played with it, but it is much more serious because it involves creating a new life.

To explain how it works, you know that when mommies and daddies want to have a baby, they need to come together and make a baby. Sometimes, mommies or daddies cannot make a baby on their own, so they go to a special doctor called a fertility doctor. The fertility doctor can help by giving them special medicine, doing some tests, or even by putting the daddy's sperm inside the mommy's body through a tube.

But sometimes, some fertility doctors do bad things. Instead of using the mommy's or daddy's sperm or egg, they use someone else's without telling them. This is like your friend borrowing your toy without you knowing and saying they will bring it back, but they never do. These bad doctors do this because they want to make more money or because they have their own reasons.

This can be very bad for the people who trusted the doctor because they may never know that they are not the real mommy or daddy of their child. They may find out later, but it can be very sad and confusing for them and for the child.

So it is very important to find a good and honest fertility doctor if you need help having a baby, and if you suspect that someone used your sperm or egg without your permission, you should talk to someone who can help you.
