Other people's children are terrific. I should know. I've been entrusted with them since the fourth grade. And I have always loved being the one who's known for my talent with kids, because I knew that when it was my turn, I'd be more than qualified for that job.

So how did I end up in the swollen ranks of women who 'forgot to have kids'? The same way most do in this economic era. But as a performing artist and then journalist, I was especially in the wrong line for providing a secure home.

Now, as a college administrator and home owner, the stage is set for co-parenting. I'm not eager to jump into a relationship to make this happen. In fact, I'm not eager to jump into a relationship at all. My social circle is broad and bright. The only elements missing are a child and the father who shares in the process.

I pay a high price to keep my insurance current so when the right co-parent comes along, I can provide hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of assisted reproduction, well-mother care and well-baby care.  I am seeking a man or male couple desirous of assuming some of the traditional aspects of fatherhood.  That means I am grateful for the contribution of biological material, but my insurance covers that.  I'd be looking for someone who wants to involve not only his biological material, hugs and kisses and ice cream and baseball, but also the material security that fathers throughout history have been responsible for creating.

I'm an AI sperm donor in Massachusetts, 39, tall, intelligent, with a good family medical history. I will sign papers waiving any legal rights and responsibilities. If you want, I'm willing to keep in touch, but that's not necessary. I have had success as a donor, and am familiar with the process. Write for more information.

We are a lesbian couple near Baton Rouge, Louisiana who are in search of a donor. If you are an intelligent, compassionate, honest man who is interested in helping us achieve a life long dream of having a baby, then we look forward to hearing from you. We will not ask you for any type of support financially or emotionally and we will have a contract stating that we are solely responsible for the child, freeing you from parental responsibilities.

We're looking for someone who is located near Baton Rouge and who is willing to continue with this until a successful pregnancy is achieved. We are an interacial couple, one caucasian with ancestry of Czech, Native American, Scottish and Brittish decent. The other Haitian, Bajan (Barbadoian) and French. If this seems like something you are interested in please email us with information about yourself. Photos would be great also. Please email responses to Tink5@cox.net.

I am 45 years old, a medical doctor, with 3 children, and lead a university research group. I am 165, 70 kg, green/brown eyes and black hair as far as physical attributes go.

In my free time, when I am not doing research, I like playing chess, GO, walking around in museums and occasionally reading Talmudic literature. At the moment, I am reading the work of Chafetz Chaim. I am not much into sports myself, but that seems a recessive trait - my father was and my oldest 2 daughters are enjoying it very much.

I love children and would be happy to donate sperm, through AI only, to heterosexual couple, a lesbian couple or a single female from the same ethnic/religious background (kedat hahalacha). If interested, please contact at navevi04@yahoo.co.uk.

Hoping to father Two Children - US or Europe

City: NEW YORK / NARBONNE / US Coastal States / FRANCE / ITALY

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, 55 [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. (Parents / all grandparents all lived to mid or late 80s - actually the old Mom is still going strong at 92 so no reason a priori why I shouldn't see children well into adulthood.) Currently living in the S. of France with occasional visits to US. Totally healthy. Not in a relationship. Somewhat nomadic ( for work purposes ) at the moment but have home bases in both Oxford, England, and the Languedoc, France.

YOU:

Positive outlook; intelligent; at least University education; probably working in some sort of creative and/or professional 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....) (or maybe through IUI if you prefer ?) .

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 detail 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......]

Sujet: Mec ado [55 ans] recherche copine pour projet de coparentalite': Mec ado [55 ans],franco-britannique, [qui habite entre le Languedoc et Oxford ] recherche copine/s pour projet de coparentalité de deux enfants dans relation genre peut-être ‘divorce amicale’. 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] ! [Prof de fac ? avocate ? cadre sup dans organisation internationale ?] Et avec résidence actuelle ou projetée pour l’avenir dans le Languedoc ou ailleurs dans le midi. [Ce dernier n'est gu`ere obligatoire - on parle de l'ide'ale.....]

Mes idées de comment cela pourrait marcher suivent:

En bref je n’envisage pas de garde alternée - plutôt je passerais du temps avec nos enfants / vous selon notre accord et leurs désirs; et dans l’avenir [ ?après l’âge de disons 7 ans ?] ils viendraient passer du temps avec moi, y compris la moitié des vacances scolaires….. 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. Et des photos [ bien su^r à s’échanger]. S’il vous plaît pas de réponses de 5 lignes seulement. Discrétion totale assurée / attendue……. Merci d’avance………Et bonne chance à toutes / tous ....

I am a 30 y/o married male who has helped couples with their A.I. in the past and would like to help a wonderful person or couple with their dream of parenthood with free sperm donations.

In my Relevant Health History I am a well developed healthy and active 30y/o male with hazel colored eyes, black hair, 5f’9in’ tall. My ethnicity is Caucasian/Pacific Islander both Paternal Grandparents still living and active. My Mother’s side produces gorgeous hair and beautiful skin, Mother’s side has a history of a long life span and very youthful looking.  My Father is Caucasian and produces tall to average height, fair skin, high metabolism and has a history of twins; no family history of cancer or diabetes. Full physical conducted annually medical file can be obtained upon request.  I have normal to athletic vitals normal blood work and blood type is B+; no history of STD’s, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, I don't consume alcohol. All included in my Medical files, semen analysis included results above average motility 90% pos normal liquefaction.

For my personality traits my wife say's I'm caring, patient, and a good listener. My friends say I'm loyal with a good sense of humor. My parents taught me to be honest and understanding. I like to stay busy, I love to learn and I’m very positive about life.

A Little bit more about myself if you would like that I should be a known donor.  First I’m very committed to help you with your dream of parenthood due to some positive life events that had happened to me. I am 30 years old but look 25 and very healthy. I have had a long history of supporting and defending actively in the Military; documents are available for the child if this is part of our interview. 

I am married with a very supportive spouse; she loves life and enjoys interacting with kids in our community. Due to the fact that I am able to give that gift to someone she is supportive in our decision for me to be a donor. I am Caucasian/Pacific Islander mix and can fit into almost any ethnic group, However I believe an individual is judged by the heart. My career is flexible and allows me to travel periodically as long as I give them advance notice before the ovulation cycle and make arrangements to travel. You can communicate with me by phone or e-mail if you want me to be at your location for your A.I.. The decision is yours however I know it is important to get to know your donor first. As with any situation that must be true for us all. I will gladly give you my contact number once I get a reply. I also have a standard donor contract agreement I can generate upon request; the first thing I will write in that contract is that I promise to stay committed to you any time you need a donor.

I'm a 36-year-old who just completed his PhD, enjoying life before I start a postdoc. Five children exist because of my activity through this website, the oldest of who are 5 years old. I'm good-looking, 5'7”, 150 lbs, blue eyes, brown hair.

I'm in great physical shape, as I do a lot of climbing in my free time. I'm also quite fond of travelling/exploring more generally, pontificating, generating ideas, problem solving, and trying to understand the Universe. I was passionately involved in choir and horticulture in high school, and have had a strong magnetism to the sciences, music and nature for as long as I can remember.

The distance I'm willing to travel is dependent upon the help the recipient is willing to give. I’m not seeking involvement in the children’s’ lives, however I do visit the children whom I have helped create when the parents are enthusiastic about having this connection. Contact me for photos and details.

Our job is to help people become parents :)

My partner and I are looking to find a friendly, honest, financially secure and responsible female or female couple that is interested in forming a friendship and co-parenting situation here in the Pacific Northwest. We are a stable, caring couple that have currently been together for over 16 years. I am a 47 year-old caucasian male of Scottish, French Canadian and Swedish descent and would be the child's biological father. I am a well-traveled, healthy, intelligent, financially secure and creative person who works as a professional graphic and web design manager. I am also a dual citizen of both the US and UK, with extended family in both countries. My partner is an affectionate, generous and humorous 41 year-old hispanic male from a family of Mexican descent. We are both active, athletic and eager to enjoy the challenges and rewards of parenthood and would like to share that experience in a joint custody arrangement. We would love to hear from a female or female couple of any race or ethnicity who is serious about pursuing this. Look forward to hearing from you!

I am looking for a wealthy gay single/couple to develop a co-parenting relationship. Possibly two full-time professionals who would like a stay-at-home mother for their child. Also open to a single man who is in a position to provide financial support and a cultured lifestyle. Hope to develop a very close friendship with the father and any extended family. Open to discuss a mutually beneficial arrangement.

I am a straight, attractive, intelligent, and professional (almost) 39 year old Caucasian woman seeking a single male or gay couple who would like to enter into a co-parenting arrangement.  Becoming a mother is the most important focus and priority for me.  Unfortunately, I have not yet met a man whom I would want to marry or develop a long-term commitment, and I am at the biological stage where time is starting to run out for me to have a baby. 

Ideally the individual(s) will be actively involved in the child's life both emotionally and financially.  That being said, I have a good job with above average compensation and benefits, so I am capable and willing to contribute to the child's needs.  I am open to all races and ethnicities and do not have an age preference.  I am located in Northern Virginia and hope to meet a single male or couple in or around the Washington DC area.

Professional gay couple in Dallas, TX is looking for a traditional surrogate (straight or lesbian). We are financially stable and have been together for 7 years and are wanting to start a family. The ideal TS must be open minded to the idea of acknowledging the child if so desired by the child later in life. The TS will not have any financial responsibilities or parental rights to the child. The TS must be disease and drug free. Also open to the possibility of exchanging sperm donation for egg donation for the right TS. Please make our dreams of becoming parents a reality...god bless

I'm a gay, educated, intelligent, healthy male, with a strong family background. I've always wanted to have kids, but I don't want to be a single parent (and am currently single).  As I approach 40, I realize that my original plan (to first find a perfect life partner, then start a family) might not pan out as expected, but that doesn't mean I want to permanently write-off parenthood.  

Having recently learned about co-parenting, I thought I would look into this as an option.  I am exploring the possibility of co-parenting with either a single gay (or bi or straight woman) or also possibly with a lesbian couple.  Although I want to have a role in any child (or children) I might father, I am flexible as to the level of involvement/responsibility I would have depending on the situation/wishes of the mom(s).

I am very open-minded, I have a good job, and I'm a very easy person to deal with.  I am Jewish, and the reason I stated I am seeking a Jewish co-parent has less to do with the actual ethnicity of the mom(s), but more out of a desire to raise a family with some degree of Jewish culture and faith (no, I am not Orthodox or super-religious or anything like that).  

I'm healthy and live a healthy lifestyle.  Good sense of humor, overall a well-balanced life (heck, if I were straight I'd be the typical "bring home to meet Mother" kind of guy) ;)

Since I would want to have at least some degree of regular involvement in the child(ren)'s life, I am only seeking people in the Southern California area (although I also spend part of the year in Ohio, so someone based there would not be a deal-breaker).

Thanks for reading!

Please contact me if you would like more information. 

We are an elementary teacher (26) and psychotherapist (33) who are looking to make a baby!

We live in Park Slope, have a big brown dog, family close by, and a great network of queer and straight friends (some of whom have children already). We're interested in getting to know our donor and incorporating him in some way into our family while remaining our child's primary parents.

If this sounds interesting to you, let us know something about yourself.

Hello we are 26 and 24 years old and already have two boys (7 and 4)  from Mama A's previous marriage. However we have to share them with their father it's it's extreamly difficult only getting to be a parent half the time. Mama B desperatly wants to have a child as well. This baby will grow up to be Loved and cared for, for who they are. Never judged and always supported. We are great parents and only want to add one more addition. Our boys ask us every week, when re you going to have another baby we want a brother or sister!

We would like to find someone who is caucasian, Handsome, intelligent,  preferably with blue eyes, with a clean genetic background and drug and disease free! It seems impossible to find all of this!

Hello,

My partner and I have been together for a while now and have decided to take the next step in our relationship. I work for a transportation company which I have been at for almost five years now and she works in retail. We would love to find a donor who is gay as well but would be happy with anyone at this point. Looks are not as important as health, we would like for the donor to be between 18-28 because those are the more fertile times in mens life but again we will not turn down anyone that would be willing. We are looking to do a artificial insemination at home (not in any way will this be a natural insemination). Please email me if you are interested, most likely we will need your assistance around the first week of every month.

Hello, my partner and I want to expand our family.  Last year we had a huge blessing come into our lives our precious 20 month old daughter.  As she gets older we noticed she is longing for a playmate and we are longing for another child in our lives.  If the opportunity presented itself to adopt once more we would joyfully do so, but the more we seek the slimmer chance we have for this to happen.  So my partner and I decided to try another avenue that is why we are posting this ad.  A bit about us we have been faithfully and loving committed for 8 years and still going strong.  We don’t believe in divorce so we pretty much work our issues out.  My partner has a master’s degree in Sports Management from Lindenwood University and I’m currently working on my degree for Case Management from Kennesaw State University.  I will be done by next May 2012.  So we hope and pray we find a donor within that time period.  We are both in our early 30’s and enjoy traveling.  Our precious daughter is 22 months and is happy as can be, a bit spoiled but learning her manners.  She is by far the best thing that has ever happened to us besides us meeting.  We are open to open donor but no co-parenting.  We are only interested in Artificial Incemination.

I am a Single-Female (Asian, non-lesbian) and Seeking a Sperm Donor or Co-Parent. For more information, you can contact me at: margaret_j7@hotmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you.

I am looking to be a loving dad and co-parent with someone in the immediate NY metro area / long Island. I am a 37 year-old single gay male of British and Italian descent.

I own a 2 bedroom apartment in Freeport, Long Island with a loving and supportive family nearby.

I am looking for someone who is SERIOUS about doing this, as well as financially stable, financially responsible and financially and emotionally independent who can share all child-related expenses and share the joys of parenthood. If you fit that description, I'd love to hear from you.
