Whew! Well, I've never placed an ad like this before, but here goes! I am a 39 year old gay man that has dreamt of being a dad for as long as I've known I was gay LOL. To many it may seem that the two are incongruous, but then again I never really did fit any of the typical stereotypes. Ultimately I am looking for a family of my own to share with a woman who feels like I do, and without losing my gay identity. I guess I envision a lesbian or lesbian couple first, but I am staying open minded.

I seek a coparent arrangement because I feel a child deserves both a Mom and Dad if possible. I have a big heart and have a lot of love to give, and that includes giving some to my future baby's Momma (again let me say that I am G-A-Y honey, hahaha!) I could never be in a situation where I feel cold and disconnected to the little one's Mommy. It's my job to be a good Daddy, and that means being a good guy to Mom as well!! I have a really great family! They're all emarkable actually...and they all would be beyond thrilled to welcome our new little one!!

I am in a 10 year relationship with a wonderful man. We share our home, our families, have a business together, and share our past, present, and future. We are excited about the prospect of enlarging our family of two, but I am really the one that feels the strongest calling to Fatherhood.

In this day and age of online instant gratification, it's hard to slow down and be patient and take the time to find the right person for this unique parenting partnership. I don't really know what to expect, and I don't really know exactly what I am looking for, but I hope that I will have the wisdom to know it when I find it :)

I'm interested in hearing from healthy, down to earth women of childbearing age who are well adjusted to life and have a deep seated desire to have a loving family with a man who wants that too. I have had some great responses here, but unfortunately they have all come from out of my area. I'm looking to be as much a part of my child's life as possible, so I am most interested in hearing from someone local to the central NJ or NYC area. I guess if you feel like you "need" a child but not baby's Dad around, then we probably aren't what each other is looking for, but best of luck to you anyway.

If anyone reading this has any suggestions for other places I should look, or other ideas or avenues to pursue, I would be very grateful to you for letting me know.

Thanks for reading! Just say hi if you want to, it doesn't mean either of us is committed to anything LOL :)

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 qualified for that job than for any other.

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.

For fourteen years, I have been a “big brother”/mentor to a young man, now 18, who was raised by two lesbian moms and just left for college. He has forever changed and enriched my life.

I welcome the opportunity to be a mentor again, this time as a known sperm donor for a lesbian or lesbian couple that wants their child to have an on-going relationship with the male donor. My dream is to help bring another being into this world and be, at the mother’s discretion, a loving male presence in a child’s life. I am looking to play an "uncle" role, not that of a co-parent. As a known donor, in accordance with a California law that protects sperm donors and recipients, I would ship sperm through my doctor’s office to make ensure the mother controls all legal rights and responsibilities.

In my 40’s, 5’10’’, highly responsible, I am in excellent health, HIV neg., with high fertility numbers, accomplished, educated (Masters), athletic, and descend from two loving and long-lived Spanish families.  I reside in SF (for 20 years), work as a partner in a business strategy firm, have a steady boyfriend, live a full and interesting life, and possess a balance of strength and sensitivity, which kids seem to appreciate.

Ideally, I would like to be a mentor for a child as well as share my family’s good genes. I am respectful of others boundaries, and do not want to be involved in any of the parental decision-making.

I am a gay man who used to work in childcare and I've seen many happy families. Now, I'm working in the medical field as a surgical technologist and looking to help women start families of their own.

Since talking to my lesbian friends it seems it is difficult to find a gay man who is willing to donate.

I have not donated before. I'm very open to different options to donation including mail, fresh or working through a fertility bank. I am willing to travel as long as the recipient pays for expenses.

I am a sensitive, thoughtful, passionate man who has a good sense of humor. I love politics, studying religion, gardening and learning. I am in great health and tested STD free 4-3-09. I've been in a relationship with my husband since 2002. He supports my efforts to help a woman or couple start a family. I'm excelling in my new career and love every minute of it. Raising children is a blessing but it is not for me. I have no wishes to co-parent, but if you wish for me to be a part of your child's life, I'm willing to be a known donor for medical history etc. I live in Minneapolis MN. Please contact me if you'd like to know more.
