Women must make several trips abroad for medical procedures, as Chinese law bans importing human sperm.

“There are many women who won’t get married, so they might not fulfill this fundamental biological mission,” Xiaogunzhu told AFP, using the name she blogs under to avoid any negative attention.Her baby, now nine months old, is called Oscar after a character in a comic about the French revolution – a nod to the donor’s French ancestry.

But many feel that struggling to find or simply not wanting a partner should not preclude them from motherhood. Women also face discrimination; in Chinese culture, marriage is still considered essential to having a child. “If you choose to use a sperm donor, sperm is essentially a commodity,” said Carrie, a 35-year-old single mother living in southwest China who also requested anonymity.

Reeslev said one possible reason is that sperm banks outside of China have fewer Chinese donors – Cryos has only nine donors out of 900 who identify as Chinese.But experts said regardless of the availability of Chinese or Chinese-American donors, women are still choosing to have mixed-race children.
