&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;I'm intelligent, attractive, 5'10&quot;, healthy and looking to be a father. I'm also highly educated and stable with an excellent job in Finance. My hobbies--from keeping active (bicycling, gym, tennis) to foreign films, museums and theater. I'm of German and Polish descent. I've spent years watching my nephews and nieces grow, and finally realized that I wanted it for myself. I know it'll be hard work, but the joys of having a child far surpass the hassles. I'm looking to do this through artificial insemination, and would like to make a connection and share this amazing experience--a woman between 34-42.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;

            <description>&lt;p&gt;I have accomplished many things I set out to: graduate degrees, home ownership, a relatively well-paying job. But a deep heart-felt wish has eluded me : fatherhood. I have considered adoption but it is an unrealistic option for me since I am not in a commited relationship. Also, work demands thwart any possibiity of my being a full-time single father. I want to share the financial responsibility, have a physical presence, and the enduring joy of being a father. I am in the NorthEast: A slim, good-looking black man keen on meeting a woman who values friendship, respect , independen&lt;/p&gt;</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 41 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>

            <title>Seeking co-parent or sperm donor</title>
            <link>http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/item/309</link>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7.5pt; color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';&quot;&gt;To whom it may concern.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7.5pt; color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';&quot;&gt;I am a 37-year-old IP lawyer, usually deemed also a very beatiful woman.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; This has not lead me to Mr Right so far&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; (no, I am not lesbian ...just confident that you are not going to to discriminate me on the grounds of sexual orientation!).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; While waiting for the latter, I have tried to take care of my fertility.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I would like to have children, also on my own.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Many Fertility Centers who provide surrogacy services would ask for you to bring along a sperm donor.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Yes, I would like to bring in my womb my own children, but that is my second alternative, at the moment.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Most will depend on the personI meet.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; My health conditions are, seemingly , very good (crossing my fingers!).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I wish to to stress that financial as well as emotional support, and incolvement in the children care, though welcome,&amp;nbsp;are not necessary to me.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; If your country is possible to sign a declaratio with which you want to waive any right on the child, you can do that.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; If you want more involvement, let us speak about it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7.5pt; color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';&quot;&gt;Of course, I would like to meet someone, I mean&amp;nbsp; a gay decent chap whith whom we can&amp;nbsp; create something that is a family, based on mutual support and friendship and slidarity, end despite the&amp;nbsp; fact that we will live in different countries&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; (well .... not entirely true ... I cannot stand to live in this taliban Vatican country any longer and I am goign to move somewhere else soon)...&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; a normal sperm donor, satisfied of the fact that he will have&amp;nbsp;offspring somewhere will be enough, however.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7.5pt; color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;I prefer Nordic types or eventually an African gentleman.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7.5pt; color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';&quot;&gt;I am very open to negotiable solutions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7.5pt; color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';&quot;&gt;Please note that I am forced to&amp;nbsp; do this in the USA because it is not possible in my Taliban (forme homeland&amp;nbsp;of the Reniassance culture)country.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I have tried with Ukraine, but the professionalism of the&amp;nbsp;USA and the lack of a language barrier are to me the shifting factor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7.5pt; color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';&quot;&gt;Travelling to meet you is intended at my own expenses, as if in case, surrogacy as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7.5pt; color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';&quot;&gt;Looking forward to hearing from you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7.5pt; color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

            <title>30 y/o married male who has helped couples through A.I. ...</title>
            <link>http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/item/306</link>
            <description>&lt;img src='http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/./pictures/listings/th_medium_306_2.jpg'; align='left'; height='90'&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In my Relevant Health History I am a well developed healthy and active 30y/o male with hazel colored eyes, black hair, 5f&amp;rsquo;9in&amp;rsquo; tall. My ethnicity is Caucasian/Pacific Islander both Paternal Grandparents still living and active. My Mother&amp;rsquo;s side produces gorgeous hair and beautiful skin, Mother&amp;rsquo;s side has a history of a long life span and very youthful looking.&amp;nbsp; 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. &amp;nbsp;I have normal to athletic vitals normal blood work and blood type is B+; no history of STD&amp;rsquo;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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&amp;rsquo;m very positive about life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Little bit more about myself if you would like that I should be a known donor.&amp;nbsp; First I&amp;rsquo;m very committed to help you with your dream of parenthood if I meet your preference. I'm 30 years old but look 25 and very healthy. I live in California during winter and visit family in Alaska mainly in summer. Presently I own and operate a small business, and work part time with the department of homeland security.&amp;nbsp; I am a non retired veteran of two military services documented in my DD214 and volunteered as a firefighter for two years with certificates to prove. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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 fly. You can communicate with me by phone or e-mail if you want me to be at your location for your A.I.; or ship samples via a donor shipping company that I have used before or one of your choosing. The decision is yours however I know it is important to meet 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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can also e-mail me at: &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:archer22@rocketmail.com&quot;&gt;archer22@rocketmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;May you truly be blessed to always shine from the strength to receive and to give from the love that radiates deep within you.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With Respect and Best Wishes,&lt;br /&gt;-Archer`&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Looking to be More Than a Sperm Donor</title>
            <link>http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/item/130</link>
            <description>&lt;img src='http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/./pictures/listings/th_medium_130_2.jpg'; align='left'; height='90'&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am looking to be a loving dad and co-parent with someone in the immediate NY metro area / long Island.  I am a 34 year-old single gay male of British and Italian descent.   I am a NYC public school teacher in Brooklyn, healthy (eat right and exercise), drug and disease/std free and looking for the same in a white female who is looking for a loving co-parent and interested in a joint custody arrangement.  I own a 2 bedroom apartment in Freeport, Long Island with a loving and supportive family nearby.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am looking for someone who is financially stable, financially responsible and financially and emotionally independent who can evenly share all child-related expenses and share the joys of parenthood.  If you fit that description, I'd love to hear from you.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Loving Mom Seeks Loving, Involved Father</title>
            <link>http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/item/292</link>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am a single, gay, black, attractive and healthy, 35-year old woman located in Brooklyn, New York. My life is full of wonderful friends, family, community and a successful, self-generated business centered upon arts and education. I have a beautiful, bright, healthy, and happy toddler-age son who is the greatest joy in my life. My life is centered upon a positive outlook and lifestyle, running, yoga, meditation, compassion, being a vegetarian, environmental awareness, generosity, prospering, and giving back.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am a spiritually rooted, talented, energetic, strong, present and devoted mother to the greatest joy in my life.&amp;nbsp;I want nothing more than to enjoy the experience of having another child, and a sibling for my child (my child already has a thoroughly involved father). I believe deeply in the availability, presence, and active participation of both of a child&amp;rsquo;s biological parents in their lives when possible. &amp;nbsp;For this reason, I am looking for a uniquely nurturing and devoted, emotionally and physically healthy man to father another child. I am open to various races and ethnicities. Because of the obvious possible complications and unpredictable life changes I am not interested in a 50/50 co-parenting relationship with the father. However, through a mutually fulfilling and creative arrangement I do want my second child's father to participate in his or her life as much as is comfortable and desired.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While I am not ready to begin the process of getting pregnant tomorrow, it would be inspiring to begin exploring this possibility with a man. &amp;nbsp;Most important to me in this potential relationship, is that the prospective father and I are able to develop a healthy, respectful, consistent, and supportive friendship before conception, and that we share similar ideals and visions for a parenting relationship founded upon&amp;nbsp;good communication, honesty, and admiration.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At this point in my life I am committed to living in NY. However, I am open to the possibilities and looking for a known and participatory father who may live outside the NY area but close enough that he would be able to develop in a regular relationship with the child. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please write to me through the site and tell me about yourself and what you are looking for. Looking forward to hearing from you!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>35 yo Male Seeking Co-Parent(s) in CT</title>
            <link>http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/item/127</link>
            <description>&lt;img src='http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/./pictures/listings/th_medium_127_2.jpg'; align='left'; height='90'&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am a single gay male, I'm 35, 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;)&amp;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.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>The joy to be a father</title>
            <link>http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/item/289</link>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello, I&amp;rsquo;m a 40 years old Italian male, looking for co-parenting with a woman in central PA or surrounding areas. I am a professional, well educated and healthy single gay male, 6&amp;rsquo;-1&amp;rdquo; x 190 lbs. I have a stable job that I love, but I feel that a big thing is missing in my life: to be a father.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I have always loved children and I&amp;rsquo;m ready to be a great dad. I&amp;rsquo;m very open minded, generous of heart and serious about sharing the joys and responsibilities to be a parent. I grew up in a large family and I have&amp;nbsp;always loved the life and values that my parents created around us. &lt;br /&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m willing to share this experience with a lesbian or a&amp;nbsp;heterosexual mother located in&amp;nbsp;Pennsylvania or surrounding states.&amp;nbsp;You should be emotional and financial stable and responsible to start this great journey together. My involvement on the education and sustenance of the child would be 50 % or more, it depends on the situation. I also desire to keep my rights as a father.&lt;br /&gt;If you think you can be interested to share all of this together please contact me and we will start from there.&lt;br /&gt;I can share pictures and other information with who is really interested.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you for reading my ad and have a wonderful day.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Enough OPC for me...</title>
            <link>http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/item/114</link>
            <description>&lt;img src='http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/./pictures/listings/th_medium_114_2.jpg'; align='left'; height='80'&gt;&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>Kind and Responsible Gay Man Looking to be a Known Donor for a Lesbian in the Bay Area</title>
            <link>http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/item/221</link>
            <description>&lt;img src='http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/./pictures/listings/th_medium_221_2.jpg'; align='left'; height='90'&gt;&lt;p&gt;For fourteen years, I have been a &amp;ldquo;big brother&amp;rdquo;/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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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&amp;rsquo;s discretion, a loving male presence in a child&amp;rsquo;s life. I am looking to play an &quot;uncle&quot; 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&amp;rsquo;s office to make ensure the mother controls all legal rights and responsibilities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In my 40&amp;rsquo;s, 5&amp;rsquo;10&amp;rsquo;&amp;rsquo;, 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.&amp;nbsp; 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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ideally, I would like to be a mentor for a child as well as share my family&amp;rsquo;s good genes. I am respectful of others boundaries, and do not want to be involved in any of the parental decision-making.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;If you live in the San Francisco Bay area, you can contact me, Joe, at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:gayknowndonor@gmail.com&quot;&gt;gayknowndonor@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; Or through my blog at: &lt;a href=&quot;http://gayknowndonor.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;http://gayknowndonor.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Tentative Dad Dips Toe in the Water</title>
            <link>http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/item/95</link>
            <description>&lt;img src='http://www.gayfamilyoptions.com/./pictures/listings/th_medium_95_2.jpg'; align='left'; height='90'&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;  

&lt;p&gt;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!!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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 :)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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 &quot;need&quot; 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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for reading!  Just say hi if you want to, it doesn't mean either of us is committed to anything LOL :)&lt;/p&gt;
