Male Looking for Single Female or Couple for Co-Parenting Opportunity

Hello! I am a 39 year old professional living in Long Island, New York with my partner of six years. I am 6.3, BR/BL, in good-shape, well educated and healthy. I do not smoke, do not do drugs, work-out regularly, and value a healthy lifestyle. I have a great career, good home, active lifestyle, great friends and family. My dream in life has always been to have a biological child.

I am seeking a single lesbian or lesbian couple who wants to co-parent a child. I truly believe that a co-parenting arrangement presents wonderful opportunity as long as the potential parents establish compatibility and a mutual understanding of each other's expectations. I am interested in being involved in the child’s (and mother/s) life, however I do realize the need to be open-minded and flexible regarding the legal rights should a couple be interested in adopting the child. I am a good guy with a real interest in embarking upon this exciting stage of my life……… please email if you are interested in speaking further, my email address is profclong@aol.com.

Seeking Hispanic Sperm and/or Father!

Hi,

We are lesbians in a loving and committed relationship. Aside from our sexuality, we are a very traditional family. Family is very important to us! We are going to California to get married in August, and we can't wait to have kids. More than anything, we want to be moms!

We are loving, kind, and affectionate people. We have a lot of fun. We spend a lot of time outside, and with our family and friends. We both work in public schools, and have great schedules (including summers off) to be very active parents. We are planning a strong family with a lot of love and support from our family and friends. We are very excited about little league, music lessons, holidays, family outings and trips, and everything a kid could want. Plus, we both have master's degrees in education! So very briefly...

My name is Sarah, I'm 30 years old. I am a special education teacher. My father is French Canadian, my mother is Irish. I have lived all over the country, but have settled in Brooklyn. I love the beach, reading, outdoors, and travel.

My partner's name is Daisy, she is 33 years old. She is a high school guidance counselor. Her mother is Irish, her father is Puerto Rican. She feels a strong connection to her Puerto Rican roots. Daisy is from Brooklyn and has lived here her whole life. She enjoys sports and music.

We envision having at least two children; each of us would like to try to conceive at least once. As Daisy strongly identifies as Hispanic, we would like to share that with our children and therefore prefer a Hispanic father. Also, we would love for our children to have the same father. If you would like involvement in the child's life, that even better. But of course, in that case we would need to get to know you first. We are not looking for any financial contributions or support. You would have to be willing to sign over your parental rights, so we could have a second parent adoption.

If you are interested, please contact me! My e-mail is oceanrambler1978@hotmail.com. You would be a blessing!

Thanks,
Sarah & Daisy

Can You Make My Dream Come True

I am an educated and professional African American Male in his late 30's who is looking for a co-parent or a surrogate to help me become a father. I will like to have at least two children with the same person. If it is a co-parent situation I would want to have joint legal and physical custody of the child. If it is a surrogate situation, I have no problem with the child knowing his or her mother. I have tried the traditional route, but have not found that suitable "lady" to marry and I want to become a father while I'm young enough to have the possibility of seeing any grandchildren my child/children might have.

I am very serious about becoming a father and I would like to discuss the situation with you as soon as possible. Race and sexuality is not an issue with me. I am a very open minded person and I hope you are also.

Currently on the west coast, but hope to relocate to the east coast real soon.

I can be contacted via email at livingjay@yahoo.com.

Thanks.

Lesbians Looking For Donor/Uncle

I am an African American lesbian woman with a partner looking for an African American or mixed race donor. Gay/Straight/Bi matters not. I'm more concerned with your heart and your brain. Do you love your mom? Do you like pets? Are you tolerant? Patient? If it matters, I have a couple of degrees and we earn a nice living. I'm a little overweight, not obese... very pretty and very feminine. I have lots of pics, yours for the asking.

Both of us had our dads in our lives and would love to have the same for our children. You can be involved as much or as little as you'd like. I am fine with an 'uncle' situation as well. I currently live in Los Angeles with plans to relocate to the East Coast soon. Travel is no problem.

We are spiritual, but not very religious. My beliefs lean toward Buddhist. I was raised in a very strict upper middle class household, but I turned out artsy and bohemian-ish nonetheless. My sweetheart's family was a little more open-minded than mine and she turned out lovely as well. She's quiet and a little shy but very funny when you get to know her. I'm the social butterfly, friendly and always smiling. We hope to instill love, tolerance and grace and well as a love for literature, music and the arts.

If we sound interesting, email me and we'll discuss the details! I'd like to get started ASAP.

Single Guy Wants to be a Dad

I'm a 39 year old, single, professional African American man in the south Florida area, seeking a single female co-parent. I'm 5'8" and 165 lbs, very clean, healthy genes, never did any drugs, non-smoker/non-drinker, and don't have any STDs. Can produce recent lab test to prove it, and you should be able to do so as well. I'm also athletic and in very good shape. I'm financially stable, well-adjusted, and mentally prepared to do this, but haven't yet met the right woman. If you don't want parental rights I'm fine with that. If you want to be a co-parent, I'm fine with that, too. I'm perfectly capable of raising a child on my own, but I'd be more inclined to do this with a woman who wants to be a mother. I identify as bisexual, and I'm open to doing this with a woman of any sexual orientation via AI.

I want to be actively involved in our child's life because I envision myself more as a father than as an uncle or just a sperm donor. I'm looking for a woman who's beautiful inside and out, and I want this to be an awesome experience for all three of us. She should be a clean, healthy, stable, professional woman who has an active lifestyle, preferably 20s to mid 30s. She can be Black or White, doesn't really matter to me. In fact, I'm open to the idea of raising a bi-cultural/bi-racial child. I'm a very social person who was raised in a very large family, and I have great relationships with my family and extended family. I helped raise many nieces and nephews, and I would love nothing more than to have my own biological child.

Location isn't all that important to me, as long as its within the US. I wouldn't describe myself as 'picky' but I would want to get to know about the person I'm doing this with, and I expect that she would want to know things about me as well. If you feel we'd be great co-parents then send me some information about yourself. A photo would also be nice. Serious replies only. mercedesboy40@gmail.com.

Artistic Educated Woman Looking to Co-Parent with Smart Healthy Man

Hello,

I am a 39 yr old artistic fertile female (been tested) looking to conceive. Rather than just get a sperm donor, I would prefer to share this experience with a good loving person who values children as much as I do.

My story, I am straight woman, but the man I was with for seven years decided he does not want children, so that ended, knowing that a family is important to me I decided to look for alternative ways to create a family.

I had the world's greatest mom and I have always wanted to be a mother.

I am 5' 7" , red hair, blue eyes, fair skin and very healthy. I am very into healthy food, I do not drink, smoke or do drugs. I work out regularly. I am educated up to graduate level and I am a successful creative professional.

What I would want is a co-parenting situation, in the beginning I guess I would need to be me more (breast feeding) but as the child grows I would hope the dad would be interested in spending time and having the child for visits. I would hope that we would all be friends a "chosen" family. Sort of like being divorced without the pain part..

Financially I have insurance and make a good living but would want to share costs eventually for day care, education....we could figure that out.

Please write me if you are interested.

Good Hearted, Family Oriented Male Seeking Female Who Shares Dream to Co-parent

Hello! I am a single, professional, well educated and healthy male living in Connecticut/New York City suburbs. My dream in life is to have a biological child. Due to my life circumstances and busy work schedule, it would be impossible for me to raise a child as a single parent. I have a terrific career and am financially secure, however the one void in my life is not having a child.

I come from a loving family and have often been told I would be such a great dad. I am seeking a female who wants to co-parent a child. I am seeking a woman who is also professional/educated/financially secure and just like me cannot raise a child by herself. I would want us to be equally involved in raising the child and be dedicated to equally sharing the responsibilities. I am seeking a woman who is emotionally stable, kind and a generally good hearted person like myself. I am open to communicating with a woman from anywhere in the United States who shares in this lifelong dream to have a biological child. I hope to find a woman who understands the importance that the child have both parents equally involved in his/her life.

Please feel free to email me if you have an interest in communicating further. My email address is : wanting2coparent@sbcglobal.net.

Hoping to father Two Children - US or Europe

Seeking to Father Two Children / De'sireux de devenir p`ere de deux enfants (trad.en bas).

ME:

6ft., brownish hair [was blond color when young - see pics - which show me in mid-20's - current ones available when you e-mail]; greenish [were once blue] eyes, 180lbs, 54 [act lot younger - never properly matured], bi/gay, Oxford graduate [I'm of Celtic parentage], usual 'arty' interests - cinema / theatre / galleries / travel, Mediterranean food and wines [but non-smoker]; not really sporty type but enjoy some mountain-biking (and always cycle/walk when in NYC); favourite novelists Iris Murdoch / early (later stuff too formulaic) Patricia Cornwell / Jose’ Saramago; musical preferences range from Monteverdi to Marc Almond and Philip Glass. Dry sense of humour. Currently on a kind of Sabbatical (previously worked in international organizations in legal advice / management fields). Have a small place in the South of France which would be good for summer holidays when the children are older. Currently living in the S. of France with occasional visits to US. Totally healthy. Not in a relationship.

YOU:

Positive outlook; intelligent; at least University education; probably working in some sort of creative field, financially secure; could be single or in a relationship, but welcoming of my involvement in the children's upbringing and also definitely wanting at least two children [I have a view that children should grow up with at least one brother or sister.] You probably live either East or West Coast, or maybe Europe. You are open minded enough not to mind the idea of an 'older' father ( you might even see the advantages - there are some...)

The Idea:

you would be the custodial parent of the children but I would get to visit for at least a couple of months of the year and as they get older the children would come to stay with me for roughly half of school vacations [assuming they wanted to]. In other words a ‘friendly divorce’ type of arrangement. I would make sure they had a good time and you would get a rest from constant parenting. I would want a say in their education - I would especially want them to get a good musical and bilingual education from an early age. Obviously situations can change as time goes on and children's inclinations count for a lot but these are my broad-brush ideas. People say I relate well to children. Quite a few friends (seeing me with their children) have said 'you would make a good father'. It would be crucial that you and I would get on well together even though we didn't want to live together / be around one another for more than a couple of months of the year. Actual insemination would be with syringe (in case you were worried....).

Please e-mail me if you are at all interested to discuss this further, in complete confidence that I will exercise [and expect] total discretion and total confidentiality around these exchanges. Please write FULLY ie with as much details about yourself and your 'project' as you read here about me and mine. Pix (to exchange) and full details about you / your ideas essential. [Thanks for reading so far. Wishing only good things to all of us aching to become parents......] RIV.

Bonjour à toutes et à tous. Ou commencer ?? Je nourris depuis trop longtemps ce grand désir de devenir et être père de deux enfants [deux parce-que je pense que l’enfant a besoin d’un[e] petit[e] frère ou sœur pour grandir avec]. J’ai commencé à mettre des annonces il y a longtemps mais avec le travail [juriste / administrateur] je n’ai pas suivi le ‘projet’ avec assez d’assiduité. Maintenant je viens de quitter le travail pendant un ou deux ans ‘sabbatiques’ donc plus d’excuses / auto-exculpation….

Je suppose que – donné la mythique baguette magique - je recherche une femme genre ‘Annie Hall’ ?? – intello, sérieuse mais avec grand sens de l’humour, féminine, établie dans sa profession libérale - raisonnablement aisée point de vue finances, aimant les arts, le voyage, parlant plusieurs langues [ou du moins l’anglais – je voudrais que les enfants bénéficient d’une éducation bilangue si possible] et bien sûr beaucoup plus jeune que moi [mais ne voyant pas de problème dans la différence d’âge] !

Enfin ce sont des idées de base qui devraient se modifier le long du long projet et selon les circonstances futures qui ne sont pas toujours prévoyables………Mais voilà d’où je commence…….- on doit commencer quelque part……

Si mes idées vous disent quelque chose et vous vous intéressez à en discuter veuillez svp m’envoyer un courriel [à jonblane@hotmail.com ] plein d’infos sur vous / votre projet.

Seeking Known Donor in the Washington, DC, VA, MD, PA, NJ, NYC Area

Hello!

I am an attractive, educated and healthy heterosexual woman in her early 40s; I live in NW Washington, DC.

I am seeking a healthy sperm donor in the Washington, DC/ VA/ MD/PA/ NJ/NYC area who is interested in helping me in conceiving a baby. Due to my age, I have to do this as soon as possible. I am looking for a healthy, attractive, intelligent Caucasian male (gay or straight), hopefully in their 20s, 30s, or early 40s. Due to my age, the age of the father also makes a difference.

You would have no financial obligations, but I would like you to be a known donor, i.e. the child to be able to contact you and have a relationship with you. After having the baby, I might move away from the DC area, so I am looking for someone who would be ok with not seeing the child on a regular basis.

I live a healthy life-style and am looking for a similar donor; I am looking for someone in good health, with no family history of disease or addiction.

Please contact me at european_brunette@yahoo.com to start a conversation, to discuss the details and to exchange photos. I would also like to discuss STD, genetic tests you already have or need to take, and donor contract to be signed.

Thank you!

Stable Male Couple Wants Children

We're both in our mid-40s, both 6'2", 195 lbs, healthy, attractive, highly educated, one American and one Cuban. And we're good and very decent people. We're professional writers, with plenty of love and nurturing to give (just ask our four dogs!).

We are looking for one or more women willing and able to make our dream of having two children come true; ideally we are looking to have all rights to our children, but are willing to discuss other options such as co-parenting.

Wonderful Loving Female Couple Wanting to Co-Parent with a Great Guy / Male Couple

Hi,

We've been together for over 5 years now. We're both straight acting, feminine, professional, loving, fun, good lifestyle, widely travelled, love life, great friends and family etc etc and now feel the time is right to start a family. I'm 42, my partner is 36.

We're looking for a great guy or perhaps male couple - similar to ourselves - ideally a truly caring, fun, sorted professional person. Our ideal would be for the father to be involved, but we are open to suggestions. We do not mind whether the father is gay or straight, but we are not looking for someone who is a serial sperm donor (no disrespect to those who have donated to many - you're fab), but we want this child (children) to ideally be your only child(ren). Overseas potential fathers also considered, assuming you are free to travel frequently.

Do you fit the bill, or know someone who does?

Please e-mail us at 4wonderland@googlemail.com with a bit about yourself, and perhaps a photo if you feel comfortable doing so. Please note that any correspondence is in total confidence. Look forward to hearing from you.

View worldwide private sperm donor database! Connecting sperm donors with women and infertile couples- no fees For Donors!

City: London

If you are a donor willing to help women and infertile couples become parents for altruistic reasons (i.e. you don't expect payment or sexual gratification) then please join us in our quest to offer alternative parenting choices to all! Just register your info at www.free-sperm-donations.com/register.htm Our wonderful donors donate fresh sperm for self-insemination in the USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and other countries around the world.

Women and couples looking for a donor join as a member at www.free-sperm-donations.com/subscribe.htm and access the Member's Only Area- browse sperm donor profiles and contact them directly through the internal messaging system- its set up like a dating site but members are seeking swimmers! The subscription costs cover site running costs- this is NOT a business- I run the site in my spare time as I know how difficult it is to find a sperm donor - donors are either unavailable (or long waiting list) or too expensive (or intrusive) Which is why I created the site in 2004. And the emails I get thanking me make it worthwhile!! Wonderful to see those gorgeous babies- and I couldn't do this without our fantastic donors.

Donors state what they want- some want no involvement at all (anonymous donors) and some would welcome a photo each year- some also want to co-parent. All I ask is that everyone is honest and respectful when using the site. Hope to meet you soon! If you have any questions please email info@free-sperm-donations.com

Looking For: I am looking for an open minded individual who would be willing to be a known sperm donor. The donor will have no obligation to the child since my partner and I will have sole custody. I am open to a gay or straight male who is healthy, disease free, and willing to take the necessary STD/Genetic tests. I would prefer to have a Hispanic, African-American, or biracial donor. This is not to discriminate against anyone, it is only because both my partner and I would like the child to resemble us to a certain extent.

Stable GM Couple (12 years) Interested in Donating Sperm with No Strings Attached; Just Love

Two GM (Jim and Luis) interested in donating sperm to a single lesbian or lesbian couple. We strongly believe that for this to work, we have to be clear upfront that we have no rights whatsoever - if you want us to have any relationship at all with your children, we would have to earn it, and it would be entirely at your discretion.

We are both lawyers (we thought we would put the scary stuff first). Jim is a a law professor and Luis is an immigration lawyer. Luis is Puerto Rican and Jim is Jewish from Seattle, almost an oxymoron.

Florida is the only state to prevent ANY gay person from adopting, so we thought it would be nice to be part of parenting in this manner, even if it is a relatively small part of the process.

The best e-mail to reach us is at: wiletsj@nsu.law.nova.edu.

You'd need to do the normal fertility, STD and genetic testing.  If you're interested, email me at missynewmam@aol.com.   I'm happy to swap information and photos.  Look forward to hearing from you.

Looking for a Known Mother

Hello,

My partner and I are looking for a gay woman to be a known mother -- basically a surrogate who would be known to the child and who would participate in the child's life as much or as little as she would like. The child would live with us.

My partner is currently in the process of being a known father for a wonderful lesbian couple and has found the process to be very rewarding. He used this site to get in contact with the couple. While we acknowledge that being a known father is very different than being a known mother, we also believe that the gay community if full of wonderful individuals who might be interested in such a situation for any number of reasons. So what the heck; it's worth a shot!

If you are interested in such an arrangement -- whether it is because you want to have a child while you're still young but don't want to limit your career or feel trapped, or because you want to be part of creating healthy alternative queer family structures, or because you simply want help a couple have a child and want to be able to watch the child grow -- please contact us.

Thank you very much for your time,

Established Female Seeking Co-Parenting Sperm Donor to Share in the Joys of Parenthood

I'm a single, 35 year old, financially independent, female who has worked hard all of my life to someday have a family. My health is my number one priority and I've been preparing my body for childbirth for the last couple of years. I'm mentally, emotionally and spiritually stable. I grew up in Park Slope and would much rather have a sperm donor who is willing to be known as the child grows, in a co-parenting agreement. I would not be opposed to having more than one child, once the sperm has passed my Doctor's testing. I'd love to have at least two. I've been working with the Doctors at the Methodist Hospital Fertility Institute to make sure that I'm able to have a baby and so far, so good.

I'm a mature person, Puerto Rican born into a loving, respectable family. I attended College maintaining a high GPA before becoming a NYC employee & starting my own business. I retire in less than 5 years with a full pension and I'm ready to be a wonderful mother. I know I can raise a wonderful little person into an overall healthy adult. Photos of me are available & I'd love to provide more information to those interested.

We are Alex & Peter, both Jewish professional males in our late 40's, wanting to co-parent. We have been together for 6 years, financially secure, generous, active and friendly. We would like to create a family by connecting to a single female or couple and share in the joys of creating a family by initially connecting to each other in a warm, caring manner. Priorities are living close by to Park Slope or even within our 4 story brownstone. Please respond to anovack@dhs.nyc.gov.

In Search of Special Father/Known Donor

I am 32, intelligent, spiritual (not religious), attractive, single gay black female, successful creative professional, fit, non-smoker, into healthy lifestyle who loves and adores children and very much wants to be a mother. I am already a godmother to 3 wonderful young children, have many children in my life, and am hoping to realize this dream of becoming a mother to a child of my own while I am still relatively young. At this time I reside in New York and am seeking a known father in my pursuit of becoming a mother.

Although I would like to be the primary custodian, I would like the known father to feel free to have a role in the child's life, to be a part our lives, and be available to have a more involved relationship with the child as the child grows and perhaps yearn for a greater connection. I prefer not to use the term "donor" as it does not quite capture the unique and special arrangement that this connection in parenting could bring.

In a known father I am seeking a person who has similar and also complimentary qualities to my own: warm-hearted, kind, compassionate, strong sense of integrity, active, intelligent, healthy with no history of addiction or drug abuse, non-smoker, positive, and preferably has not fathered many other children or has not donated at large. I am open to men who are straight, gay, bi-sexual, coupled, single of any race or ethnicity.

I would like to meet in person and prefer to have some foundation of trust and friendship before talking seriously.

If you are interested in speaking further, please feel free to email me at: greatlittlespirit@yahoo.com.
