Other Info:
I am a single woman in mid 40's, and have not had the opportunity yet to have children. I am at that stage in my life where I am ready, but my partner of 7 years is not interested in children at all. We live separately, are independent of each other, and live our own lives as we desire. We have discussed my being a "single" mom, and he agrees that the decision as a female to have a child is my decision alone, and does not want to co-parent or be a dad.
I am a confident, independent person. I own 2 hectares of paradise outside of Cape Town and stay there with my 2 dogs and 2 cats. They would all love to have another human edition to the family to play in the river, take walks around the vineyard and in the garden. I own 2 separate businesses, both being in operation for over 12 years, and am financially secure.
I believe that children thrive and grow with positive praise, emotional warmth, love & attention, learning through play, good routines & boundaries, nurturing and above all lots of fun and adventure!, I love the outdoors, camping, nature, rock climbing, yoga, pilates, mediation, dancing and walking. I eat healthily, good wholesome food! I also go with the flow & see everything as an opportunity to learn!! I am both technically orientated as well as creative and can switch from left to right brain, and from male energy to female energy as needed.
I would just like for my child to know who their biological father is, and to have the opportunity later to connect, if both child and donor are interested. I believe that children knowing who both their parents are develops their sense of self-worth, self-esteem and their own identity, giving them a strong confident and independent view on life too. Therefore I am happy to be in contact with the donor, but as I am independent and choosing to be a single mom, there will be no requirement for financial or any other responsibility for interaction, unless desired by the donor (eg co-parenting role).
