It sounds like the plot of a romantic comedy – a woman has a miracle baby via a sperm donor and IVF, then meets the donor and falls in love.
But for Aminah Hart and husband Scott Andersen, this is their real-life fairytale.
The couple, who live on a Simmental stud farm in Ryanston, Victoria, met in 2012 shortly after Aminah gave birth to their daughter Leila, now nine.
Curious about her daughter’s father, Aminah and her mother Helen took their search online, with only Scott’s first name, his profession and knowledge that he coached football.
After finally connecting, Aminah and Scott, now 49, began corresponding via email, met in person soon after, fell in love and were married in 2016.
And while theirs might be an unconventional love story, the happy family wouldn’t change a thing.
TEAMWORK
“I’m eternally grateful for having met Scott,” says Aminah, 51, who admits she still can’t believe she swapped her city life in Melbourne working in marketing and sales for life on Scott’s farm.
“We’ve had ups and downs but here we are, nearly eight years later. We are so different but we really complement each other... we make a pretty good team.”
Their unique love story is no secret to daughter Leila, who knows all about how her parents met and how she was born. With her curly blonde locks and blue eyes, she’s the spitting image of her dad, while Aminah admits her daughter’s sass and tenacity are her doing.
