Can provide genetic analysis, health report.
In this endeavour, I may only get to make one decision, so I intend to make it a good one, and do not wish to make it lightly. I would like to give whichever child I contribute to bringing into this world the best chance I can, and part of that will be gathering detailed information about you, your life, and your family. I am naturally prepared to reciprocate. I believe that this is important, as you will be the single greatest influence in your child's life, both for the positive and the negative.
To this end, here is a few of the things I am looking to find:
You are educated and or determined to provide a good education your child/ren (Quality of education is protective against negative outcomes across the board, all the way through to old age).
You are physically, emotionally and mentally healthy (Parental wellbeing and stability is predictive of long term positive outcomes for children).
You have good, supportive relationships with friends and or family (Strong communal support is predictive of better mental health across the lifespan long with better social outcomes).
You are financially secure and able to provide a good life for your child/ren (Low socioeconomic status is predictive of worse mental and physical health outcomes throughout the lifespan).
You are willing to ensure that your child is informed about their genetic origins (Access to genetic, hereditary and biological information is increasingly important in medical and dietary decision making, while also aiding strong identity formation during development). I am happy to provide this.
At this point, I am not seeking to co-parent, partially to minimise complications in the other important relationships in my life, and partially to protect the child from unnecessary complications in their life. However, having said that, I am in support of, should the child wish, having a degree of contact which may grow or not, depending on the circumstances. I am intimately aware of how important this is to the identity and wellbeing of many donor children and I will not deny them this.
If you have questions, please feel free to send me a message. I will be happy to engage openly and honestly.
