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 stud farm in rural Victoria, Australia, 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, now 51, and Scott, 49, began corresponding via email, met in person soon after that, 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, 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.”
