We used an unknown donor so not really much help but you could start by chatting to some people on Pink Sofa, and Lesbian Parents Australia yahoo group (google them)?
Good luck! Hope to see a pregnancy announcement soon
hi there
my partner and i have an 8mth old little man with a known donor if you would like to have a chat my email addy is belinda_runciman@hotmail.com good luck
I have a friend who's a donor dad - he has his son one night a week and his mums have him the other 6 nights, and it's a really warm and encompassing family, with so much love.
I'll ask him how he got into it.
Hi
that would be really nice if you could do that- if i can understand the dad's side a bit better perhaps I can figure out how to find one that wants to co parent as opposed to just donating
google gay dads Australia and pinkboard classifieds parenting section !
Many gay guys would be ecstatic at the chance to coparent !
As a stretch there is even the website gaydarguys ; you build your own profile telling the guys what you are after then you search the guys in your area and "smile" at the profiles of those you would like to get to know.
Spend plenty of time getting to know anyone you decide to proceed with, don't waste your time with anyone who makes you feel uneasy, chances are it won't improve. A coparent needs to be a person you like as a person.
thanks for the advice; ive tried gaydads and have not had one response yet... maybe ive been a little too honest and they're scared? ill try the other sites and see how i go
thanks so much for the advice
cheers
gina
