A sperm donor claims he could have fathered up to 100 children in four years by offering his services for free on FACEBOOK
Matt Stone calls himself ‘The Bump Maker’ and claims he is contacted by ten people a day
Matt Stone, 37, from North Carolina, USA, says he is contacted through Facebook ten times a day by people who are hoping to conceive a baby.
He first donated sperm over ten years ago when he was working at a nearby sperm bank.
It was four years ago when Matt Stone decided to start , advertising his essence to couples and single women.
Once they had passed his vetting process he would ship this donation out the recipient.
The vetting process involves a questionnaire where he quizzes the customers about their background, income and even checks out how their relationships appears online, to be sure that the children will be joining loving homes.
He says that he helps up to eight people a week and estimates that as many as 20 women could currently be pregnant with his children.
He has at least 70 children to date but believes that there could be more than 100 out there as a large number of successful pregnancies aren’t reported back to him.
IT worker Matt said: "With every successful pregnancy it's incredibly rewarding, I've helped couples with fertility issues and those in gay marriages to have the dream they would never otherwise be able to have.
"My sister, who recently turned 43, didn't try to have kids until it was way too late, so she never had any children.

"She thinks what I do is great, in essence I've made up for the fact that she didn't have children.
"All my donations are for free, I'm looking to help people and not to make money off anyone, financially I'm very happy.
"Sperm banks are incredibly expensive and I don't think they always have the couple's best interests at heart.
"I feel the reproductive medical companies find situations where people have to pay more and more for a chance to become parents, which is really unfair."
Matt explains that the demographic of his clientele is: 90% lesbian couples, 5% straight couples and 5% single females and he says that he is overwhelmed by people in need of his services.
He said: "Currently, there could be between ten to twenty people carrying the children.
"I have 70 guaranteed conceptions, but I could have up to a third more, it's usually a one-off interaction and you don't always hear anything more from them so I could have many more children.
"I have a fairly strong success rate of helping people conceive, the majority of the people contact me because they know I'm in high demand, I'm donating to multiple people a week.
"Once I donated to four people in two days and three fell pregnant.
"Often I get contact by as many as 10 people per day, so I try to systematically filter down who I work with.
"I've only met one of the children, I keep things mainly online and feel that me being involved would create a confusion.
"I keep my distance, as I don't want the children to see me as an absentee father, the child's parents are their parents in my eyes."
Matt is very careful to make sure that the recipients have passed his quiz before he sends out the product.
Matt said: "I care a lot about the well-being of the future children and screen the parents, I don't want to see the offspring in bad situations.
"When screening, I look to see if there has been negativity in their lives, if they have complaints about their relationship, if they're employed, if it looks like they have a healthy, stable home-life and their age."
Matt usually provides his sperm for artificial insemination but he is open to natural conceptions providing the individual can provide a clear STI test.
He added: "The large reason people go with me is I'm pretty successful in helping people to get pregnant and I have a good manner of professionalism.
"I'm fairly fit, I do cross-fit a couple of times a week, fencing and a lot of swimming, I used to be a lifeguard too.
"I have an advanced degree in business, no health problems or genetic history of heart problems in the family."
Matt, who is a single father-of-two, hopes to have more kids of his own in future and says eventually as he gets older he'll leave his secret sperm donating life behind him.
Matt said: "I'll keeping doing this until I'm 45.
"A lot of couples come back to me for second children, so I figure when I hit that age I'll have to stop accepting new people."
