Sperm donor with 19 children all over the world meets them all together
A man with 19 children all over the world has met most of them for
the first time. Michael Rubino, a sperm donor, was able to meet his brood
courtesy of Inside Edition.
The newsmagazine brought Michael Rubino and the kids together in an experience he
said was "very exciting" and "a little
surreal." His children range in age from 16 to 21.
He told Inside edition: "I knew when I was a
donor I expected if I was lucky I’d meet two or three. I loved them each
immediately when I met them."
In his 30's, Rubino, an artist, decided to become a donor to help
others start families. Although most donors choose to remain anonymous,
Rubino did not mind.
"I want to put in my file if any turn up at any time, I'm available. I was looking forward (to meeting them)," he said.
Before he knew it, more and more kids started contacting him and he
would write back right away.
Rubino was excited to meet his children and
all the children were excited to meet each other and also noted
their similarities. At least 11 of them have blue eye, just like their
father, and they all have bubbly energy.
Rubino opened his home to the kids. There are photos of each of
them around the house. With all 19 kids scattered across the globe, it
is believed that social media will help keep them connected.
