A grieving mother whose 21-year-old died after a nightclub fight is preparing to become a grandmother – using his sperm.
Marissa Evans began her quest to have a grandchild after a judge ruled in 2009 that a doctor in Austin, Texas, could collect the sperm of Nikolas Evans.
Now Mrs Evans has announced she’s found both a surrogate mother and an egg donor.
She said: ‘We’re hoping that by the end of April our surrogate is pregnant. And I just know it’s going to work.’
Nikolas died in March of 2009 after he was punched by Eric Skeeter outside an Austin club.
He fell to the ground, hit his head and died ten days later.
Mrs Evans said at the time she wanted a child for her son who had always talked about one day having children.
