#bc donor conceived

[aquamonstra]

Story prompt that is also just my life: when do you do when you bear the burden of a family curse but you don't have a family?

[talaricula]

Nonsense gripe but sometimes I get rly annoyed about the fact that all Famous Social Media Lesbian Mums have conceived using sperm from an anonymous/ID donor, not bc there's anything wrong with that, but bc in the process of explaining why they made that choice, they espouse very stereotypical and borderline offensive arguments for why they didn't use a known donor. And honestly they even absolutely have a right to those arguments, but since they're the Only voices we hear on social media (which is a big source of information and reflection for ppl bc most ppl don't know so many other couples who had to think about those things), there's just very little room left to the (not better, bit equally good) reasons why you may choose to conceive with a known donor.

Title: Trying

Pairing: Mike Zacharias x f!reader

Rating: Explicit

cw: breeding kink, daddy kink, slight spit play, overall Mike being a lovely, doting husband. Modern setting au. Mikasa/Jean, Erwin/Levi, Ymir/Christa as minor side pairings because I adore them

Summary: You and your husband get ready for the next big step in your relationship.

Notes: I wrote this on a whim because I’m obsessed with this man. Consider this a small love letter to him and all the Mike fans (especially the ones who are reading my Eren series “Rush”, sorry y’all 🫣)

----------

Today, you and your husband Mike are attending your best friend’s baby shower. Mikasa is due in about a month, looking like a glowing goddess carrying her round belly and wearing a permanent grin on her face. Jean, her spouse and father-to-be, is equally as excited, maybe even more. He constantly posts updates on social media about how his “gorgeous queen and little bun in the oven” are doing. 

Arriving to the party, your own husband, Mike, displays his odd quirk by sniffing your best friend as soon as you greet the soon to be parents. “It’s a girl. I can smell it.”

You roll your eyes at him, embarrassed as usual, but always amused. “Honey, that’s creepy.”

Mikasa and Jean laugh. “We’re just hoping for a healthy baby. The gender doesn’t matter.”

“Then, in that case, they smell perfectly healthy,” he says, smiling. “Congratulations.”

In your friend group, Mikasa is not the first to have children. Christa and Ymir already have twins, currently glued to the TV in the living room watching Sesame Street. Erwin and Levi recently adopted a little baby boy, who is being cradled by Eren and cooed at by Armin in the kitchen. And Hange has her adorable daughter, conceived via sperm donor, helping Sasha and Connie bake cookies in the kitchen.

You can’t help but be afflicted with a small case of baby fever. It’s inevitable, seeing all these adorable children running around the house. You’ve been married to Mike for two years now, still enjoying marital life with just the two of you. But you’d be lying to yourself if you said you haven’t been thinking about it recently. 

It’s not that Mike isn’t ready. It’s you. He’s waiting for you to be ready. He’s mentioned it a few times, asking if you’re still on birth control, patiently anticipating the day you finally answer no. Nowadays, he doesn’t ask, allowing you to the be the one to bring it up first. If anything, Mike wants to start trying. You finally realize you want to start too. 

Later, when the party is over and you’re back home, you hide your birth control pills in one of your cluttered drawers. The one where all knickknacks that are destined to be forgotten are collected. You delete the alarm on your phone, reminding you to “TAKE BC!!” every night at 9:00 PM. You’re not sure if you’re ready to tell Mike just yet, wanting to use at least one good night’s rest to plan it all out.  

However, he doesn’t give you a choice. Mike, being an astute, attentive, and sometimes annoyingly observant husband, makes a comment as soon as it reaches 9:01 PM. You’re both sitting on the couch, watching an episode of one of your favorite shows while eating ice cream.

“Your alarm didn’t ring. Don’t forget to take your birth control.”

You don’t respond right away, pretending not to hear him. Of course, he doesn’t give in. Just as persistent as ever.

“Sweetie? Did you hear me? Your birth control?”

Biting your lip, attempting to hide an obvious smile, you lick your spoonful of ice cream before revealing, “I’m going to stop taking it, starting tonight.” 

He blinks, surprised and almost doubtful about what you just said. “What?”

“I think I’m ready, honey.” You set down your mug on the coffee table to wrap your arms around his neck. “Let’s try. I want to start making babies with you.”

He leans in closer to you, voice soft and tender as he asks, “You’re 100% positive that you’re ready, right? You’re not feeling pressured or anything? Because we can wait. We’ll wait until you’re ready.”

Your smile widens as you nod your head. “I’m 1000% certain I’m ready.”

The grin on his face is so goofy and adorable, it gives you the same swell in your chest you used to get when you first fell in love with him. That you still get whenever you’re with him. You kiss each other slowly, passionately. Wanting to relish the emotions surrounding this profound moment in your relationship. 

You feel him smile against your lips, absolutely giddy over the news. One hand slides around your waist, the other caresses your belly. “I can’t wait to see you pregnant with our kids.”

It sounds like an innocent, pure statement. But knowing your husband and being familiar with the sultry tone he currently exudes, you know what he wants to do with you in this moment. 

Wrapping your legs around him, you tease him with a smirk. “I just stopped the pill today, so it’ll take a few months or even longer before I’m able to get pregnant.”

“We’ll see,” he challenges. “Besides, it doesn’t hurt to try right away, right?”

“I guess not,” you respond, fingers pulling at the hem of his shirt. He gets the hint and strips instantly, leaning over you to kiss you more, tongue slipping inside your mouth sloppily. His body is heavy on top of you, surrounding you with warmth and protection that he so often provides. With his lips grazing your ear, he whispers, “You want my babies inside you? Is that what you want?”

You swallow hard, feeling your arousal leak onto your panties, horny and desperate for him. “Yes, Mike. Give it to me. Make me pregnant.”

It’s impossible for you to get pregnant tonight, or even probably for the next few months. You’re fully aware of that. But this still doesn’t deter you from having nasty, unprotected sex with your husband and, hopefully, soon-to-be baby daddy. And talking dirty like this is a huge turn on for you both, so you’ll be damned if you don’t take full advantage of it. 

Soon, all your clothes are tossed to the floor, abandoned ice cream melting away on the coffee table. Mike has your legs hoisted up towards your shoulders in a mating press, pounding away at your wet pussy. Drool leaks down the sides of your mouth as you let your moans echo into the empty space of your living room. 

“Mike!” you whimper, dizzy from ecstasy as he hits your sweet spot over and over again.

“No. Not Mike. Use my other name, honey,” he grunts out, grip tight on your thighs as he thrusts his cock in and out of you. 

“Daddy,” you whine, feeling your climax approaching. 

“That’s it. Take my fucking cock, take my fucking cock.”

“Fuck,” you breathe out, coming all over him. He doesn’t stop. Instead, he picks up his pace, riled up from your orgasm, needy for his own. 

“You want to become a mommy, don’t you? Have my sperm swimming around in this precious little cunt?” He gazes down at your arousal, letting his spit trickle over your clit. “Touch yourself while I fuck you. I want it nice and juicy while I fill you up.”

“Oh my god, Mike. Fuck me. Fuck me, daddy,” you moan, taking it like an obedient slut, fingers reaching down to flick your already puffy clit. 

“I’m going to breed you. Get you fucking pregnant with my babies. You’d like that, wouldn’t you, honey?” he growls, eyes wild with lust as he rails you deeper and deeper. 

“Yes, daddy. I’d love that. I love you.”

He lets out an exasperated laugh. “I love you so much, princess. Can’t wait to see this belly big and round. I’ve been dreaming about this for a long time. Been fantasizing about it.” 

You can’t speak, words not enough to express the affection you have for your husband. It’s been two years of marital bliss and every day still feels like paradise together. 

“I’m going to come, honey. Going to fill you up, okay?”

You wrap yourself around him tighter, waiting for his cock to spurt his warm load into your pussy. The sensation of being stuffed with him always pushes you over the edge. You come once more, his softening cock still nestled inside you. 

His smirks as he lowers your legs, pulling his dick out slowly. Any cum that drips out of you is promptly fingered back in, Mike determined to get you pregnant tonight. Again, it’s impossible, but you appreciate his effort and tenacity.

A few months later, after countless nights of trying, you surprise him with a positive pregnancy test. The overjoyed smile on his face as he squeezes your now pregnant body in his loving embrace is something you’ll have stored in your memory forever.

End Notes: I love him, I love him, I love him.

[whentherewerebicycles]

Hi! I'm sending this with the full understanding that it's an incredibly intrusive question, so PLEASE don't hesitate to delete / ignore. My wife and I are planning to start trying to conceive....soon. Like in the next few months probably? And I'm trying to grapple with the complexities of using a sperm donor and having a hard time wrapping my head around it. Would genuinely love to benefit from any insight or reflection that you're willing to share~~

congrats to you guys!! wishing you all the best on the ~ttc journey~ (as the forums call it lol). I thought that choosing the donor would feel like a big deal or would be really challenging but I was surprised by how much I didn’t feel stressed or concerned about it when I was actually choosing. my one non-negotiable criteria was I wanted an open ID donor so that my kid has the option of contacting him when he turns 18 — he doesn’t have to, of course, but I thought it would be good for him to be able to make that choice if he wanted to. other than that I really just picked based on vibes. I just liked my donor’s responses and thought he seemed like a smart, interesting person, and i wanted to be able to tell my kid I picked him because I liked XYZ things about him. but it ultimately didn’t matter THAT much to me bc I’m not going to be the one who contacts him later and we probably won’t ever have any kind of relationship to each other, yknow? I’m grateful to my donor for helping me achieve my dream of becoming a parent and I do have moments where i feel a little sad for him, because he helped make this perfect little baby and he doesn’t even know this beautiful kid is out there! maybe he’ll never know if owen doesn’t want to contact him! but that’s ok, that’s what we all signed on for, and I’m glad that people become donors so that this kind of assisted reproduction is possible.

[eddiegettingshot]

i get so annoyed by the "tim is trying to fix s5 and s6" argument because...there's not really anything to fix?? like yeah those seasons made some wacky choices but the repercussions of those were very self contained and didn't really carry forward (like the sperm donor thing, for example). sure you can argue that bucktalia and eddiesol had to be fixed but what did tim really do except write off one relationship off screen and keep the other around for no conceivable reason?? even on the buddie front, it's not like s5 and s6 made terrible choices with them—if anything, it's the opposite, because buddie is apparently the one thing this show tries to do right. tim just waltzed and created a whole bunch of problems that, unlike the past 2 seasons, are actually unfixable and are gonna reflect incredibly badly on the show

i sooooo agree. i mean maybe it's bc s5 is my second favorite but i actually do not think there was anything so egregious there that required them to be kicked all the way back to s3/s4. and to be honest it's like, it was tim's responsibility to make his characters cohesive with kristen's. NOTHING that happened in s7 really needed to happen because everyone ended up in... pretty much the exact same place they started. so????

[terresdebrume]

Also re: picking donor traits, there is also the matter of plain old availability?

Like, donors don't necessarily give a lot or regularly, they might be limited in how many times they can donate or the laws in place might limit how many families can use the same donor. Add to that the financial concerns and again, the practical reality is that you kind of have to be materialistic about these things

Similarly: one comment was shocked that the YouTuber used imported sperm (they didn't) but imported sperm covers a lot of different things!

I am currently on Cambodia. IUI process, if it happens, will most likely happen here. All local donors are khmer, aka not my race, and I don't particularly intend to raise a child here forever bc I don't want to live here forever

Which is the most unethical, imported sperm from a potential Westerner or sperm from a local donor that means my kid will be a mixed Asian kid in Europe for most of their life* ? And since my mom's family is mixed via my great grandfather, am I only allowed mixed donors? Mixed and poc donors are notoriously underrepresented in sperm banks at least in France (and idek if there would be a way to legally get sperm from there) so am I, a largely white/white looking person only allowed to pick a white donor?**

And let's say I do find a mixed donor to match my family, my family tree goes up to my great grandfather, who had a slave name, and then I guess maybe one or two generations up? So how do we deal with the question of the ancestors' culture? I guess I could go for Belgian bc of my father's side but that's also from my great grandparents and not something that's been preserved

Am I allowed to 'just' give my kid French and Guadeloupe culture or... Like, how far back do you go? I feel like a lot of the conversation in those YouTube comments assumes it's going to be everyone united in a long unbroken line and then donor conceived baby will be the only one left out, but for many people it's more complicated than that anyway, and while OBVIOUSLY this is just a very small part of the debate in a VERY specific corner of the internet, it's still a very frustrating read tbh x)

* To clarify: I would be fine with a Khmer donor and a mixed child! They would still be a lone mixed Asian kid in a majority white country which comes with attached difficulties

** Further consideration : if I'm supposed to pick someone who looks like me because I'm a single parent, 1. Exactly what level of scrutiny am I supposed to apply? Should I bring out a color palette to make sure I don't pick a donor who is too dark or too pale skinned? 2. Do the people who think like that know that a child can end up much darker or per skinned than one would expect ? (It's not common afaik but it has been known to happen) 3. What implication does that have for mixed couples who may or may not have access to the culture attached to their genetics? Or hell, adopted people who want children? Are we only allowed to ever reproduce with people who have common genetics to ours? 4. If your answer to that last question is yes, do you know who you sound like?

HC for Mercedes/Henry

They found it quite hard to conceive. As in that it had gotten to the point where doctors were recommending IVF or sperm donors/surrogacy. Before this, (bc it’s them) they turned to alternative medicines that shamans and healers had used hundreds of years before. If it was possible then there were even more crystals hung around the house. There were oils and teas, herbal baths, rituals and even forms of meditation. Eventually they got the two, beautiful, red lines and were squealing like little kids.

The twins were proclaimed a ‘miracle’ when they were born due to the likelihood of them conceiving being so slim and Henry was completely aboard with this viewpoint. His beautiful boys, a blessed miracle. <3

it is a true crime there was never mom emily prentiss. is she a lesbian to me?? yeah! but every ep she is sweet to a little kid i just…….!!!!!! thinking abt her as a mother makes me want to bash my head into a wall and i would love to hear ur momily hc’s if u have any pls and thx

-tjj

[I’m replying from my iPad so hopefully I can add all the links I want to without tumblr eating this. I am working with a ticking time bomb right now, but I am too impatient to wait to reply when I get home and have the laptop!]

OH GOD MY PAL, YOU HAVE ASKED ME SUCH A GREAT QUESTION WHICH I HAVE SO MANY EMOTIONS ABOUT!!! Might as well make a master post of all the MomEm content!!!!

First of all, Henry, Lottie and Shelly (Jemily’s kids in my deep lore) all call her MomEm. That’s something Henry started calling her when he was young and it stuck as her name for all the kids.

JJ already had Henry when she and Emily got together. But then they have a second child via sperm donor, JJ carries baby Charlotte bc it turned out that due to her abortion and the damage done by Doyle, Emily couldn’t conceive.

Shelly, their eldest daughter was adopted by them after they learned of her home life. She’s just as much their child as Henry and Lottie and they love her so fucking much.

I’m sure there’s probably more MomEm stuff in my archives but this should keep you busy for a bit!! <3

I noticed Nico and Addie have an arc of struggle with their artifical origins and the title of "Adversary/Abomination". Could we infer artifical insemination, donors, test tube babies and surrogate parents are rare in NC!verse? Is the Poke-pantheon Aware that Addie/Two exist? Have they tried to kill them for the "crime" of being labmade? Or did Gio think "Adversary" was cool and noone questioned it, cause everyone really buys into the whole "I'm an unnatural crime bc I exist" to some extent.

alternate ways of conceiving children are about as common there as they are here, and they are... nnnowhere near the same as what nico and addie's circumstances are, so they cant really be compared. the legendary pantheon can't kill adeline; they tried, didn't work out. now they just kind of see her and two as on thin fucking ice. the title 'adversary' comes from specific translations of old sapient myths (that are, in turn, about adeline, as a part of the universe resetting)

[astrangewoman]

Marshal and I met with an obgyn today about ways to conceive and I said that it was the most grown up thing I’ve ever done and the nurse goes “well you ARE 31…” when I tell you I was taken aback!!! to call me out like that!!

anyway, this is v surreal. I had just decided I wasn’t gonna have any kids bc I have a blood clotting disorder, but then the doctor was like “nah sis it’s totally possible” so now we’re like doing it??? we’ve gotta figure out if we wanna go the friend route or the donor route for sperm donation (bc Marshal is trans and unfortunately science hasn’t progressed enough to figure out a way for us to conceive together) but yeah this is actually happening. we’ll see how it goes. it may not be in the stars for us, but we’re sure gonna try.

Season 1 ep 6 rewatch

Hide and seek

On the date with Alexa mark says he and Gemma were having trouble conceiving a child and thought about adopting?

Could this be how they were introduced to lumen? Going there for fertility tech and were screened somehow as being severance compatible or had some desirable attribute?

Or somehow got involved at the orphanage?

“She was very pragmatic, always had a plan b”

What if Gemma found out about severance while researching lumon and fertility and when she found out she couldn’t conceive (“this is the life you’ve been given, that’s another life, you don’t get that one”) she was interviewing in secret to be severed, and then died in the crash but bc lumon has all the medical tech they brought her back to life bc now they have a free secret employee

Bwahah in the article about the artetas Gabriela says “yheres skmething viscerally upsetting about having your home literally torn apart…”

Lumon lead donor did something worth putting in the paper two years ago

Devon definitely hides the laptop search from Ricken

Ricken wanted to make the baby after Gemma, but mark said no. Did he name her after his own grandma? Leonora? Eleanor is so similar. It at least fits with the Eagans and I don’t for a second think Devon would agree to that name if she weren’t fishy

Oh, cobel must have worked at the orphanage, that’s why she’s a baby whisperer

I just this rewatch noticed that when Dylan’s kid is counting for hide and go seek so milcheck can be weird in the closet that the cartoon his son is watching is a brain shaped cloud being sawed in two and rain pouring out to drench the cat in the tree, cute

And let’s talk about Dylan’s closet. If Dylan has a wife, where is she at pj time? I can see working another job, it would be a lot to make Dylan trans, although that’s not a bad name to do it with and he is pretty focused on being masculine as an innie, so it would be a thing to explore. And it would make sense thematically, like instead of asking him to step into the garage or something, a bedroom closet seems like a place with a lot of personal stuff to confuse the severance, to have him sitting in front of the two half’s of his own brain. I would love to see him wear those shoes haha. The boy does call him daddy though, this is a dumb alley.

I still can’t believe they named her Alexa, she has to be fishy too right?! Like, I love what’s his name, but Mark as a character there is nothing he has said or done on these dates that would make a self respecting doula throw herself at him like she does. He’s a hot mess!

Mark leaves right before he would have told Peteys kid “well actually I met outie Pete”

[sootyships]

1, 2, and 3 for the self ship fan kid ask game!

1 ~ How did you and your f/o decide you wanted to start a family together?

I've known I wanted to eventually have kids since my teens, if feasible. Started making kid name lists at 15, haha. Mayhem... Finds human kids interesting. They're so different from symbiote offspring, after all... So it's certainly not against the idea! Just a bit weirded out by pregnancy, which is just a wee little bit ironic. A lot of its scandalised questions, as well. "What do you mean it leeches nutrients from your bones if your diet doesn't have enough!?" And meanwhile Maymay makes me eat chocolate with two hands. As though I didn't already.

But, erm, with Ultron it's... I guess it kind of just started coming up. I mean... Well, when it did start coming up, eventually I grilled him about his level of committment and stuff. Like, should we actually talk about it seriously, or is it more of a thought experiment? And he didn't really have all of his ducks in a row, emotionally, at first, not in a way that was satisfactory to me. So that all is kind of why it took us a good while before we really even started poking at the idea of creating something new together.

But he's definitely, you know, interested in the ideas of creation and development and stuff. Humanity and flesh and metal. You get the gist of it.

2 ~ Was the baby born naturally? Adopted? Created in another way?

Sidzla was "created another way", Satu was born naturally (conceived via sperm donor, for obvious reasons).

Sidzla is a synthezoid like Vision was. Kind of, a further development on the original ideas there. But we meant for her mind to be entirely new, that is, not having any known previous iteration informing its development internally, the same as a human child. If there's something, then it's got to be the ghost in the machine variety. Like, reincarnation, or something. We didn't put it there.

Suddenly it crosses my mind that there's something similar between Klyntar offspring, Ultron, and Vision. They all have the knowledge of previous iterations informing who they are from the get-go. Born ready.

Of course, you can't fully separate any being from the knowledge of its predecessors. If nothing else, instinct and reflexes remain, and when it comes to humans, with the way we're so reliant of others when we're small, of course the lines of our development will be informed by those around us. So there's no absolute blank slate, only a relative one...

3 ~  How did your f/o react the first time they held the baby?

Oh, Sidzla he told not to disappoint him.

... I'm pretty sure he mostly hoped she wouldn't... Fail. Structurally. Mentally. That would have been hellish.

Obviously we'd gotten attched by then. But we'd also put so much active effort in her development in a way no human pregnancy really requires. At least not in the same way. Conscious and intentional.

(I actually know that's what he meant, bc I asked him, but letting people assume the worst about it is a bit funny to me.)

Satu he called ugly.

Which was kinda fair, she was a really wrinkly baby, but, bruh...

[orangelit]

I don’t want children that bad at the moment but thinking forward: It’s a bit of a struggle to have kids as a lesbian because there ARE many options but it seems like all of them are problematic. Adoption is often problematic bc theres apparently been a sketchy trade around it, and either way adopting a child of another race has been criticized too. And using a donor apparently has its issues as well (such as the donor conceived person finding out they have 100 siblings). 🤔 I feel like maybe open adoption or open donation would be the best options for me in the future but idk it’s complicated lol

[unknown-donation]

I don’t think I’d ever consider someone who is DC a minority...

Huffing, you sat on your stool watching as Natasha, your wife, and Bruce spoke quietly to each other. You trust Natasha but you didn’t trust Bruce especially lately with him asking questions on how your life is going though you work together, how Natasha was doing, if we wanted children, even asked if your marriage was going okay.

You look down at your notes and start to write, trying to get your mind off what’s happening a few feet away from you. Continuing to write, you hadn’t notice Natasha walking towards you until you heard her voice.

“Hey, baby.”

Looking up at her, you gave her a smile and a quick “hi” before continuing to write. Natasha takes a seat in the stool next to you, staring at you. Feeling her stare, you look up raising an eyebrow, “Done talking to jolly green giant?”

“Yes, I am.” The avenger nods about to change the subject when she sees the sour look on your face, “Wait a minute. Are you jealous?”

“No.” You mumbled still staring down at your notebook. Grinning, Natasha leans forward and presses a few kisses on your cheek, “You are.”

Blushing, you shake your head, “I’m not.” You mutter, “Totally not jealous of the fact that you’ve been secretly talking to him for weeks now..”

The redhead stares at you for a few seconds before speaking, “I want to start a family of our own..." Natasha eyes you looking for a reaction, “That’s why I’ve been talking to him. I know we’ve talked about adoption or a sperm donor but I thought why not ask boy genius if it could be possible if we could conceive a child with our own DNA. I didn’t want to get your hopes up, our hopes up. That’s why I’ve been talking to him.” She kisses your palm, “

“God, I love you.” You lean forward and press your lips against her, the kiss full of passion and love. You pull away leaning your forehead on hers, “I love you too, sweets.” Natasha pecks your lips, a small smirk, “Can’t believe you were jealous.”

Rolling your eyes, you pull away from her lightly pushing her away, “Shut up.”

“Shut up.” Natasha mocks you, chuckling. You shake your head at her, holding in your laugh, “You're so immature."

"You're So iMmATuRe." The redhead mocks you again causing another eye roll, "Stop repeating after me!" You say taking off your lap coat throwing it on an empty table before heading towards the door.

"StoP RePeAtiNg- no where are going, come back!” Natasha stops the mocking as you walking out the lab room, quickly jumping off the stool and running to catch up to you.

About

The Martin JRM Mars was conceived in 1941 as a patrol bomber, intended to scale up the already existing Martin PBM Mariner. The prototype, designated as XPB2M-1R, went into test phase in November 1941 and first flew in June 1942. Being the largest flying boat ever to enter Allied service during WWII, it was soon assigned the role of a transport aircraft instead.

After successful tests in 1943, the Navy originally decided to order 20 aircraft. Later they reduced the order to only the five which were already being manufactured. Those five aircraft were designated as Marianas Mars, Philippine Mars, Marshall Mars, Caroline Mars, and Hawaii Mars. Unfortunately, several weeks after conducting successful test flights, the first Hawaii Mars crashed in Chesapeake Bay.

Even though this four-engined giant had to wait until January 1944 to officially enter service with the Navy, it continued to be employed after the war as a useful asset.

Used mainly for exhibition purposes, Caroline Mars set a world record for passenger loads on 4 March 1949 by carrying 269 people from San Diego to Alameda, CA. Marshall Mars, was lost in 1950 after an engine caught fire whilst in Hawaii. Despite malfunctions, the four surviving Martin JRM Mars aircraft served with cargo duties until 1956, when they were officially retired. The aircraft were almost sold for scrap, but in 1959 they were given a second chance. A Canadian company, Forest Industries Flying Tankers, purchased them to serve as part of their forest fire prevention inventory. The conversion enabled the aircraft to carry 7,200 U.S. gallons of water, covering an area of up to 4 acres.

The planes designated as Marianas Mars and Caroline Mars were the first to become water bombers. In 1961 Marianas Mars suffered an accident while participating in a firefighting operation near Northwest Bay, BC, Canada. Just two years later, Caroline Mars was damaged beyond repair while tied down in a severe storm at the airport in Victoria B.C. Afterward the remaining two Martin JRM Mars planes, Hawaii Mars II and Philippine Mars, were both converted into water bombers and remained in service until Hawaii Mars II eventually retired in 2015 - far beyond anyone’s expectations.

More recently, Hawaii Mars II starred at the EAA’s 2016 Air Venture, thrilling many enthusiasts when simulating “fire attacks” on the Oshkosh Airfield. Today, Hawaii Mars II remains the only airworthy example of it’s type in the world. The opportunity to purchase and preserve a unique part of aviation history is now available for the discerning buyer, or donor.
