            <title>Educator Desires Fatherhood</title>
            <link>http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/item/143</link>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My partner and I have been together since 1996 (13 years, March '09) and believe that fatherhood is the next natural step in our lives, in our relationship, and in our biological desires as men.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are seeking a female or female couple for a co-parenting relationship; the details of the co-parenting relationship are negotiable.&lt;/p&gt; 

&lt;p&gt;Ethnicity is not important, we welcome all races.  Our vision of establishing a connection with a potential co-parent(s) involves written correspondence and a brief face to face meeting in a public setting before moving forward to the next step.&lt;/p&gt;  

&lt;p&gt;If it is your desire to join us on this journey to parenthood, please contact us (cdan2302@aol.com).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Loving Couple Desperately Wanting a Baby</title>
            <link>http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/item/138</link>
            <description>hi, how are you? this is the first time i have done this so forgive me if i ramble. my partner and i are lesbians and we have talked and researched about having a baby and how us being the way we are would affect the childs life. i am 27 and a singer and my partner (zoe) is 23 and a golf development officer. we both live in south wales u.k. we have been together just over 2 years and are a very loving couple. we are both earning a good living and the child would not go without. we adore each other and belive that a child would be the icing on the cake to make our family complete. neither of us have ever been in trouble with the law and live a very happy and peacful life. neither of us are religious but respect that others do and have thier beliefs and often have discussions about it and it does make you question lol. i am personally more spiritual. we both have very loving and supportive families and they are keeping thier fingers crossed that we get pregnant and have said that we are excellent parents without the child. we often take care of our friends children and we have a ball making teaching them about schooling and why it's important and about life and also baking and running around the park laughing and giggling.

we are healthy people with a healthy lifestyle and have no history of health problems except the fact i had epilepsy as a child but grew out of it at 13 i was taken off medication and have been fine ever since. other than that there is asolutely nothing.


we are looking for a donor but we dont want them to be in the childs life. we would consider the donor being a 'friend' of the family and maybe seeing them a couple of times a year. we would always want to keep in touch with the donor as when the child grows up we want them to know exactly where they came from.

i really  should stop here as i feel i'm rambling too much now lol. if you would like to know absolutely anything else then you're more than welcome to ask away.

thanks very much and i hope to hear from you soon.

sincerely</description>

            <title>Sperm Donor Available in Los Angeles</title>
            <link>http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/item/137</link>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;I live in the Los Angeles area, in Valencia, just north of the San Fernando Valley.  I can donate fresh sperm in the Los Angeles area, and I can also ship fresh sperm overnight.  I may be able to provide frozen sperm as well.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am 43 years old, Caucasian, 5’10”, 185 pounds, light brown hair, blue eyes, in good shape. I have not had any health issues, and I am disease-free and drug-free.  I had a semen analysis performed in March 2008, which showed high count and high motility.  I have had 2 children relatively recently, a 6-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son. The children that resulted from my donation at the California Cryobank are all 10-15 years old. None of the children have had any health issues.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I first was a sperm donor at the California Cryobank when I was in graduate school at Stanford (from 1991-95).  I started donating because I realized that most of the guys that I knew there would never do so, for a variety of reasons. I did it to help people who wanted to start families. I have been fortunate enough to meet 3 of the children that resulted from my donations, and I have heard from the mothers of a couple more.  That has been a very positive experience.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I was on Oprah in February 2008 discussing my experience.  (The show was rerun on July 11, 2008.)  There were several adult children of donors who were also on the show, and they really wanted to meet their donor.  One had met her biological father, and she and the donor (who was in the audience) found it to be very positive.  The other three women had not been able to identify or meet their donors and were very frustrated and distressed by this.  Since I am quite willing to be a known donor and since the experience has proven to be very positive for me, I decided then to be a known donor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are interested, please send me an email at todd@toddwhitehurst.com.  You can read a bit more about me on my website at http://www.toddwhitehurst.com.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>34 yo Male Seeking Co-Parent(s) in CT</title>
            <link>http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/item/127</link>
            <description>I am a single gay male, I'm 34 will be 35 in April. I am extremely jealous of all my friends because they all have children now and I love their kids to death. I want some so bad but I also want the mother to be in their lives as well. I don't smoke, I drink socially (which is almost never) because I work on the third shift as a Diagnostic Mechanic and Maintenance Technician. So I rarely get out but my party years are behind me anyway. I like to ride quads and dirt bikes, I like to hike Mountains, Love doing stuff with my friends kids like kick ball, wrestling, man-hunt, and letterboxing (if you haven't heard of that and like to hike I suggest trying it. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.letterboxing.org&quot;&gt;http://www.letterboxing.org&lt;/a&gt;). I wakeboard, snowboard, ride quads, Hike, camp, and am a myspace freak (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.myspace.com/iwantason&quot;&gt;http://www.myspace.com/iwantason&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;--- I'm not usually on that one but if you message me on that one I may give you the address to my other myspace that has tons of pics and info. I'm not noticeably gay, meaning I'm really straight acting. I'm Tattooed, I drive a Big 4X4, I like Freestyle sports, and am in no way feminine. 
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;  
    &lt;strong&gt;I am seeking&lt;/strong&gt; a lesbian or lesbian couple that would like to have at least two children and want there to be a father in their lives. I am currently supporting my parents and living with them but would like to find the right person to go in with on a house. That isn't a requisite its just an idea if there is someone out there that is looking for something similar. I guess what I'm trying to say is I would love to try the &quot;Will N Grace&quot; thing.</description>

            <title>A Handsome, Kind Gay Man Looking for Co-Parenting</title>
            <link>http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/item/120</link>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;I am a single gay Asian man, professor at a top research university, handsome, very kind and loving, looking for co-parenting possibilities with a woman in San Francisco-Bay area. Even though I have the option of becoming a biological father through surrogacy, I believe that the healthy development of a child requires the care of a mother.&lt;/p&gt; 

&lt;p&gt;I am a person who values commitment and family. I met my ex-partner at the beginning of graduate school. We had had a beautiful and monogamous relationship for 12 years. This relationship ended in 2006 for reasons beyond our control. We always wanted to have a family. After our divorce, my desire to become a parent takes precedence over finding a new partner. For this reason I decide to join this site.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I turn 40 this year, in very good physical shape. I am looking for a well-educated woman who desires to share the joy and responsibility of parenting. I have no preference in terms of your ethnic origin, but a good education is important. I hope we can realize our dreams together.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pictures upon request.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <link>http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/item/119</link>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello Ladies,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rew here, at your service. I'm a 25 soon to be 26 year old male.  I am currently attending university as well as developing a line of organic maternity wear. I am interested in donating sperm to help women achieve their dream of being mothers.  I am hard working, intelligent, creative and happen to be gay so this is my way of bringing life into the world.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'd be happy to talk with you, answer any questions and show you pictures of me as a kid. I am open to structuring the relationship around your needs, but can not be held financially responsible for any children.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Tick - Tock - Tick - Tock</title>
            <link>http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/item/115</link>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Can you hear that...it's my biological clock ticking?&lt;/p&gt;
I am 32 years old and ready to start the next chapter in my life: children.  &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I am happily partnered to a wonderful man (Brian - 34 years old) who has been there for me through the thick and thin of things and I for him; we actually just celebrated our 9th year together.  &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Brian grew up in Wisconsin and, at the age of 18, enlisted into the Air Force.  Through his 8 year stint he has served in the Gulf War, has been to Korea, Saudi Arabia, Ireland and Spain, and has also lived all over the east coast.  In 1999 he transferred to Phoenix and that's where we met.  I was born in Paris, (Texas that is), but grew up in Arizona (Bisbee to be exact).  I also have an identical twin brother so twins may be possible.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I will admit that we were skeptical at first and not sure how all of this works, but we do know one thing...it is time we start looking into our parenting options and start a family that we so desire.  We are open to all avenues when it comes to parenting, but I personally want to first see if I am able to have children from my bloodline vs. adoption at this point.  We haven't really discussed the whole co-parenting option in detail as that will also be based on the mother of the child and if she will even want to be involved; but again, we are open to anything at this point and will talk more about it in detail once we get to that stage.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

What we are looking for in a prospective mother:  Caucasian and/or Hispanic - educated - medically, mentally and physically able to endure the process - perhaps someone who already has children and/or a family of their own and wants to help a loving, nurturing couple complete their family. &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I know there are a lot of questions still to be answered, and asked, but please look into your hearts and be sincere when, or if, you have decided to answer this post.  We are open to all types of communication with prospective mothers: via phone, email, public places, etc.  Thank you for taking the time to read our ad and God Bless.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Sincerely,&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
Dads to be&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;P.S.  More pictures and information are available once a connection has been made with any prospective mother; as well as any documentation that is needed in terms of health, (mental &amp; physical), &amp;amp; stability.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Enough OPC for me...</title>
            <link>http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/item/114</link>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Sincere, Serious Sperm Donor in NY</title>
            <link>http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/item/111</link>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello All,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am a mature,  responsible guy looking to donate my sperm to a single mother or couple. I have been thinking about being a sperm donor for years and now I'm ready. I am very serious and sincere about donating and all im looking for in return is that you be a mature, finacially stable, spiritually grounded, maternal woman looking to enrich your life as this is enriching mine. I'm very healthy and have no family history of any illnesses.&lt;/p&gt; 

&lt;p&gt;I'm not looking at this time to be a co-parent but as stated before I'm looking to be a donor and am willing to sign away parental rights. Although if pictures are possible that would be greatly appreciated. I do have some college but never finished, but I am an intelligent fella.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;I am from a fairly large family so I am very family oriented. I love being around good, honest sincere people and enjoy the company of friends and family and i was born into a strong relegious background. Although Im more into a relationship with God than I am with relegion. I love running and exercising and walking through the great outdoors as well as swimming.&lt;/p&gt; 

I am open to donate to ALL ethnicities. Im also open to visiting other states to make this possible as long as the recipient is willing to cover cost. I do have a good job and my hours are very flexible. 

&lt;p&gt;This is the first time Im doing this so I'm new to the idea, but Im very comfortable with it and willing and ready. I am once again very sincere and serious about donating. Please feel free to contact me anytime via e-mail and make sure you include pics. Thank you very  much and I look foward to this fullfilling expience of my life as well as yours. Be blessed and be safe.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <link>http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/item/109</link>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi everybody, We are a gay couple, living in Brussels, Belgium. We are together for the last 4 years &amp; as we want to become a real family, we look for a way to have our own children. We are looking either for a woman who is wiling to be a surrogate mother for our child, or a woman or a lesbian couple, who would like to co-parent with us (this for sure has to be in Belgium). If by any chance you are interested or know someone who may be - please let us know, Yours, F &amp;amp; A&lt;/p&gt;</description>
