Qunituplets for two moms

By

Irish woman Rosemarie Nolan (23) and Australian partner Melissa Keevers (27) made headlines when Keevers gave birth to quintuplets following artificial insemination in Australia. Their five babies were conceived with an anonymous US sperm donor, and born on January 2, 2011. The chances of a woman becoming pregnant with quintuplets from a sperm donor without the aid of IVF are estimated at 60 million to one. The one-year-old toddlers — Noah, Charlie, Eireann, Evie and Abby — and two-year-old sister Lilly are enjoying their first trip to Ireland.

Quintuplets for Australian lesbian couple

By

Melissa Keevers (27) and Rosemary Nolan (21) are expecting five babies to be born around the end of this year. The couple used the same American sperm donor who had fathered their 1-year old daughter. Ms Nolan, who is from Ireland, met Ms Keevers while on holiday in Australia. The pair found the biological father, a 27-year old US law student, through an internet fertility company based in America. He has signed away any rights to the children and will never meet them. The family made headlines in the UK’s Daily Mail and Canada’s Montreal Gazette, after speaking to Australia’s Woman’s Day magazine.
