Not wanting to hang around, Ann got to work at the young age of just 18. She started looking for sperm donors in Facebook groups. After searching for a bit, she found a man named Tom, aged 31 years. First, she started chatting with him to meet him and to see if he was trustworthy.
Some time later, she decided to meet him at a hotel, taking a friend along with her. Ann handed the man the keys to her room so he could produce the semen sample.
She inseminated herself, and three weeks later, Ann discovered that she was pregnant. Her relatives were surprised and people asked her who the father of the child was.
