Looking for a co-parent!
I’m located in Garden Grove, CA, in Orange County, California.
I am looking for someone located in or willing to relocate to the areas of Orange County, Los Angeles county, Inland Empire, or similar for ease of co-parenting duties. Also looking for someone very much willing to take on nearly, if not half of the child care duties including taking parental leave in conjunction or in tandem with mine after a successful pregnancy and birth. Looking for someone to provide reasonable support, please be thinking about this! The more forward planning and thought given ahead of time, the easier it will be for us to come up with a custom plan that would work for our family dynamic. For nearly the first year of the life after birth, ideally we'd be able to take turns taking parental leave (and using whatever sick time/vto time banked) so that one of us would be the primary care giver for that year, as opposed to day care. After that, I'm sure we could work together to figure out a good or great/ideal day care set up. I live near a montessorri (sp?) care center, and a handful of other child care options. My work has some options too, just a matter of us find something within our budget that's also a good fit.
Unfortunately, No luck so far finding a solid life partner that also wants to parent. I am college educated, I am a clinical laboratory scientist that works in the clinical laboratory of a major hospital and so far, I have a good career. New first time home owner. I am a bit of an introvert, so it’s been tough getting out there and finding a good partner to grow with and do amazing things with, including raising children.
I like to travel, go on small local hikes (I still haven’t been to visit Yosemite which is like a bucket list item), I used to be a gamer girl (all different kinds, mostly PC, multiplayer and single player). I like to read books when I have the time, I’m in a local community semi professional choir, I take private voice lessons for my own growth, and I’m working on some projects that would hopefully start the generate a second stream of income.
I did recently go through an egg freezing cycle that had a very bountiful return (22 good eggs). At least it appears I have a decent reserve left so trying a bit late has a good chance of success, plus back up eggs if less invasive ways don’t work.
Please feel free to ask additional questions.
