Well i keep reading such interesting posts across this site and therefore keep wanting to write more and more.

David : I think it's great of you to be looking for ways to support your sis. There are many sites around to search for donor dads. Which path your sister & her partner wish to take will determine which sites are more suited to them. Some sites are predominately for donors that wish to have no involvement, be anonymous, or be known to the child at 18. Other sites are more frequented by gay men wanting to be fathers. Some sites are for co-parenting. etc etc.

circusmama : Hi Kiri, I read your post with much interest. My partner will be the non-bio mum for our first pregnancy. At this stage she's not sure if she wants to carry any babies, but time will tell. I worry about her feeling left out during the pregnancy. I know that once I give birth she will feel connected to Baby & will take her place as Mum easily and confidently. But the next 9 to (insert random no. here) months might be a bit up and down. I want to support her and make her feel an important part of the process...but i have to admit it's also really easy as the (hopefully soon to be) bio-mum to get overly excited and rush ahead & into your own world of pregnancy fantasy. Is there anything your partner could do to make you feel more a part of the pregnancy?

~Leasha~ : I like you thoughts on the 'Mum, Ma, Mama etc' dialogue. Makes sense to wait and see what works for Baby. My partner calls her mum 'Mom'...only sounds slightly different...so we'll probably start with Mom & Mum and see where it ends up.

I'm still at the 'who tha daddy?' phase. A gay male friend of my partner has put his hand up - he's really keen, very nice, would make a good dad. I've never met him, so i'm trying not to get too excited until we meet up for a coffee and a chat. I'm chatting to another gay man who advertised to find les mums to have a baby with. From what i know of him, i like him a lot. But it will take time to get to know him more.
(I'm writing in more detail about my journey on my blog - feel free to read & reply if you like )

Anywayz - Much love to everyone.
