Maya always dreamed of becoming a mom.
As a little girl in the Bronx, she would hold her dolls like they were real babies. While other kids said they wanted to be astronauts or actors, Maya talked about bedtime stories, kisses on scraped knees, and hearing small feet running in the hallway. For her, the dream was always family.
By her mid-30s, Maya was living in Brooklyn. She had built a happy, stable life with a good job and close friends. But something still felt missing. She wanted a child. She didn’t have a partner, and she was tired of waiting for “someday.” So she made a brave choice.
She decided to become a single mom by choice.
But then came the biggest question: How do you find the right sperm donor?
Maya’s first step was the internet. She searched sperm banks, forums, and Facebook groups. But every option left her uneasy.
The sperm banks were expensive and cold, filled with numbers and codes instead of real people. The forums and groups felt unsafe, with strangers making promises without proof. Maya knew she wanted something different.
She wanted a sperm donor who was kind, safe, and real. Someone she could talk to. Someone who felt trustworthy. Not a co-parent, but a person she could know at least a little.
That’s when Maya found GoKidu.
GoKidu wasn’t a faceless database. It was a safe, welcoming community for people like Maya, for LGBTQ+ couples, and for anyone building a family in new ways. It wasn’t about cold profiles. It was about real connections.
On the app, Maya created her profile. She wrote about her dream of becoming a mom, her values, and the kind of donor she was looking for. Soon, she was chatting with real people. She could take her time, ask questions, and even request donor health reports directly through the app. Everything felt safer and clearer.
That’s how she met Sam.
Sam lived in Queens, not far from Maya. He was warm, respectful, and honest. He explained why he became a donor: to help others feel the joy of raising children. He wasn’t looking to be a dad. He wanted to give someone else the chance to become a parent.
Maya and Sam talked for weeks. They discussed family history, favorite books, and health details. Sam even shared his recent sperm analysis. With every conversation, Maya felt more comfortable.
Trust was important. They both wanted to be clear about their roles. So they used GoKidu’s legal agreement templates, which were written to work in states like New York and California. Together they agreed:
For Maya, this wasn’t stressful. It was empowering. With GoKidu, something that once felt scary now felt simple and safe.
With the agreement in place, Maya used GoKidu’s cycle tracker to know the best time for insemination. When the day came, Sam gave the sample, and Maya followed the step-by-step insemination guide from the app.
It was quiet, safe, and hopeful.
Two weeks later, Maya held her breath as she looked at the pregnancy test.
Two pink lines.
Her hands shook. Tears filled her eyes. She was pregnant.
She sent Sam a message:“It worked. Thank you so much.”
Her dream was now real.
Maya’s journey isn’t unique anymore. All across New York, California, and beyond, more people are creating families through known or semi-known sperm donors. They are choosing safety, trust, and community over cold, anonymous systems.

From Brooklyn to Los Angeles, from San Diego to San Francisco, GoKidu is helping families grow.
