Other Info:
Hello! My name is Lia. I am a single 32 year old heterosexual female in the city of Seattle, Washington, USA. I have a M.Ed, I'm an elem. teacher and absolutely love children. I have nannied, babysat and taught in early childhood environments all of my working life. My family lives in the area, I'm very well known and supported in my community and I have great friends. All of my friends have kids and I want to be a mom so our kids can grow up together! I'm here with the intention of exploring two options. OPTION 1: While becoming a Single Mother by Choice has never been what I've been striving for, I don't know when Mr. Right will enter my life. I am fulfilled in life by giving and receiving love of children. I have a stable career job and plan to utilize my community, my "village" to help raise my child. I have joined the SMBC group and have been doing lots of research on this option. If you are a donor, my preferences: white (Caucasian), blue/green or grey eyes, brown or blonde hair, in good shape. No obseity in your family. No substance abuse (please be honest about your history, your family history). I'd prefer you be intelligent, degreed if possible. Tall, I am tall (5'9"). You would agree to be absolved of all responsibilities, I have lawyers to do that. You could receive periodic photos, updates if that's what you want. I'm hoping my donor would be open to meeting my child when they are 18+, if the child wants that. Important: You can't be sneaking around your wife's or girlfriend's back to be a donor. I'm not cool with that. Recent STD testing results would be required.I might ask for genetic testing. I will fully background check you so please be upfront about anything that may show up on your record. OPTION 2: I am also open to the idea of co-parenting with a man around my age who I could have a platonic co-parenting relationship with. This would mean you want be a dad (and would contribute financially and with other parenting logistics). Your mom could be grandma! :) Involvement could possibly be frequent or infrequent and would be discussed and documented in a legally recognized child support and co-parenting plan. I would probably prefer someone who does not want lots of contact, maybe once or twice a month and some holidays but I'm willing to discuss your hopes. This whole thing is so non-traditional it takes time to wrap your mind around how it could work but I think it could work out well. I'd like to find someone super easy to get along with who has great family as well. Do either of these options interest you? I know it might be difficult to find someone fitting my ideal; I'd love to hear from you.
