I am speaking from my heart when I say that I want to be a father. I feel that co-parenting would be the best for both parties. With an agreement on responsibilities, both the biological mother and myself would play key roles in the up bring of our child. We would both be there for the good and the not-so-good times in life. Lets face it, in the long run this arrangement would be beneficial for our child and for both parents. I am a 37 Caucasian male who wants to be a biological father very much. I have an MBA in business, a very good stable career, very healthy, and a great view on life. Please send me an email at mr_keefer1122@yahoo.com if you are interested in finding out more. Think about it, we don’t have anything to lose only something great to gain.

Hi,
My name is Tom. I am 48 years old. Very fertile, having provided three women to date with the gift of pregnancy the natural way. I do not expect to maintain any contact with you or your child unless and only to the extent you and your partner feel comfortable in providing.
I am 6'1", 215 lbs with brown hair and blue eyes, and Swedish, German and Irish genes swimming around in my sperm. I would be delighted to assist any woman in the Chicago area (or any woman who is willing to visit the Chicago area) get pregnant the natural and most effective way. If you need a place to stay while in Chicago getting impregnated, I have access to a vacant furnished condo in downtown Chicago near the Lake and the Gold Coast area.
Best of luck in your efforts to become a child bearer. Feel free to contact me at hairagain@aol.com

Hi,
I'm a 31 yo GWM and I'm seeking to be a known donor or to be as much as a co-parent without custody. I currently live in VA but I'm moving to Chicago, my home town, in Summer 2002. I've finally gotten to the point in my life where I'm settling down. Several years down the road I would like to have a child of my own that lives with me if I'm in a solid relationship, but now is not the right time for that. That is why I would like to help someone else now with their dream. I'm drug/disease free, good-looking and athletic, 5'9", br/haz, IQ in 140's. Good luck to all.
Bob

I am a 42-year old gay male, living in Oak Park, Illinois who wants to be a parent. I'm open to a variety of options so I'm seeking the right person(s) to create a good arrangement. Possible options include:
Ideally, we would live in close proximity to each other and share parenting responsibilities (in the case of adoption, we wouldn't share child care but we'd have whatever contact/communication arrangement is desirable). I'm very open to cross-racial arrangements as long as there's race consciousness among the parents and a real commitment to make the child's interests primary.
Since this is a big step, which will entwine our lives on a permanent basis, I want sufficient time to get to know each other and become real friends. (I'm probably not the right person for you if you're racing against your biological timeclock and need to make things happen immediately.) I'm very good with kids--I'm nurturing, gentle, playful and loving. I have 14 nieces and nephews with whom I love to spend time. I come from a big, close Irish-Italian family and my parents and nine siblings are all very supportive of my gayness and my parenting pursuits. A little about my interests: I've been very active in social justice and racial justice issues throughout my adult life and have always worked for non-profit social change organizations. I'm not into organized religion, but I rejuvenate my spirit by meditating, being loving, and enjoying nature. I love water, mountains, and chocolate. I'm not a smoker, drinker or drug-user and I'm HIV-negative and in good health.
I'm very open to connecting with other queer prospective parents. Even if we don't turn out to be match, we may be able to share ideas, help each other find what and who we're looking for, and maybe, someday, be a part of a broader, mutual child-raising community.
