Linda Weeks, a librarian, had been trying for a baby for 14 years with her husband Richard before she paid £2,000 for the advert to run for a month on 50 buses.

After 96 people said they were interested in becoming a donor, she found one woman ready to go ahead and 5lb 11oz Katy was born this month.

"We will be grateful for ever," Mrs Weeks said. "It was our final roll of the dice before we looked at adoption and fostering."

Mrs Weeks, of Maidstone, Kent, will not meet the donor. She said: "It would be wonderful to know what made her come forward but we will never know."

The advert showed the couple, who had paid more than £20,000 for unsuccessful fertility treatment, on their wedding day asking for children to "love and cherish" and to end their "14 years of heartbreak".
