New York

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.

Looking for a Caucasian single gay/straight woman in the N.Y. AREA who is looking for more than a sperm donor.

I would like an opportunity to spend time on weekends whenever you need, after school, holidays or helping during summers in some capacity. I am a single 33 year-old gay male in excellent health living on Long Island, NY. I am a well-educated public school teacher to students with disabilities with excellent health insurance and benefits. I am 6'2" 170 lbs, dark hair blue eyes, Italian and British descent. ahxks2@netscape.net.

Stable Male Couple Wants Children

We are a stable male couple that's been together for 25 years and are ready to embark on the most wonderful adventure of our lives. 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. If you think you might be the one, email us at dadandpapi@hotmail.com with your own background information and let's discuss.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

I'm a straight, single, professional woman, 40, 5'2", graduate degree, based in New York, looking to conceive naturally (ICI) or by IUI with a known donor (preferably single straight or gay) who'd be interested in staying involved as a part-time father or uncle figure. The degree of involvement is negotiable as long as it’s in the best interests of the child. I'm vegetarian, meditate, do yoga, swim, don't smoke, drink or do drugs.

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

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.

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.

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.
