We are looking for a traditional surrogate. We would like to raise the child, with the mother hopefully wanting to be part of the child's life in some capacity. We are both 26 years old and have been together for nearly 5 years. We have had a civil union in Vermont. We recently purchased a new single family home in Ithaca and want to fill our home with love of a new child. We seek a drug and disease free healthy female. We will definitely want to be involved in all doctor visits and the birth. We are happy to be new residents of Ithaca, New York. To get to know us and chat more with us, please e-mail Jason and Jason at: surrogacyqporg@freedomweb.com

I'm terrible at succinct self-description but here goes: I'm a 26 year old, healthy, intelligent, handsome man looking for a lesbian (or couple) who are hoping to have a child. I'm 5'11", 155 pounds, black hair/dark eyes from an Italian/Russian background. Currently, I'm in Grad School at Columbia working toward a PhD in Public Health and Psychology. My partner (of more than 3 years) and I eventually want to have a child (children?) of our own, but are both struggling students -- (so I wouldn't be able to financially contribute for a while.) I definitely would want to be in the child's life for as much/little as the mother(s) would feel comfortable with -- but I wouldn't feel comfortable just disappearing. What else...? Between college and Grad school I studied Classical Acting in London and acted in the city for a bit -- so, I'm artistic, too. I swam competitively for 15 years and come from a loving, unbelievable family.
That's all I can think of to write, but look forward to sharing more with the right person/couple. Thanks.

I am a 34 year old single gay white dad with a three year old son. I am looking for a woman in her 20s or 30s to co-parent a child with me. I'm not rich or famous and I want to be a big part of my future child's life. I also want my three year old to have a sibling. Respond to: cbrun67176@aol.com

I am age 34, 245 lbs., built, dirty blond/light brown hair. Green eyes, fair to medium complexion and of good stock. I have a square jaw, big shoulders and inspire confidence in others. I am smart and have worked in commercial and investment banking. I passed the series 7 exam and have also worked somewhat in the residential real estate business. I have been called handsome more than once and live a clean d/d free lifestyle. I am heterosexual and have never married or fathered any children due to my career. I live just outside New York City and would be willing to father a child or donate sperm for either a lesbian couple or single lesbian looking to carry a child, as long as that individual is reasonably financially secure. I would be willing to help a white lesbian couple or single white lesbian produce a child. All I ask is to be mailed photos of the child and to know of his or her accomplishments as a growing individual. I will respect the couple's privacy and not reveal that I am the father at any time. At the age of 18 or 21 the child may seek me out. He or she will understand at that point that I am her or his biological parent but the true parents are the two good natured individuals that raised him or her. My e-mail address is Bartuchi99@aol.com.
I am not Italian, I just have an e-mail address that sounds like that. I do have some Roman ancestry in my lineage. My religion is Protestant, though I do not attend church regularly. I am anti-circumcision. I also have no negative feelings toward homosexuality.

Lesbian, south Asian 40 years old this April [Taurus], ready willing and able to mother the child of a gay man, preferably cancer, Pisces, or Taurus.
I am a writer, and am employed and employable. My lover of 2 years and I want to create and nurture new life. It would be my responsibility to devote myself to the child 24 hour/seven day for the first 2 years. I would work around that responsibility with the support of the sperm donor/father with/without his partner.
The dad must want to nurture the child, we would work out the living arrangement. The father must be ready willing and able to love not only his child but be a part of my/our life. Artist, artistic man, definitely to the left of politics and open to the spiritual dimensions of life without being a religious dogmat is what I search. Preferably of African, Asian, Latin or Mediterranean origin.
Lets create a new extended family that includes the loving people in your life and mine. Hoping to conceive towards the second half of 2001. Prefer N.Y. area. Respond to: Poonsri1@aol.com

I'm a recent Ivy League graduate living in New York City interested in donating sperm to a lesbian family. My stats: 5'11", 165 lbs., blue eyes, brown hair, 1510 SAT. Background: Irish, Polish, Swedish, Yugoslavian. I'm a good-humored, likable gay guy who is interested in a variety of levels of involvement with the child (from none to "Uncle John"). I studied math and philosophy and also have an artistic streak. I happen to be the son of a lesbian couple myself, so I want to carry the torch to a next generation of queer-raised kids. Please contact me at john_c2000@hotmail.com if seriously interested.

I am interested in meeting, talking to, and developing relationships with other gay and lesbian men and women who wish to become parents, and co-parents. I understand that building a family partnership takes time, energy, and vision; and I want to go one step at a time, in this most sacred process. I am therefore not including too much information in this brief internet ad, but rather hope to kindle friendships; evolve a supportive community; meet and get to know one another slowly, naturally, to discuss the issues surrounding parenting, family life, and all of our concerns.
I am a very dedicated professional artist working at a major cultural institution in New York City with a deep interest in South East Asian and Indian arts and Culture. I have also worked with children for many years, in the arts. Both my parents are artists and there are several very successful artists in various disciplines in my family tree. I seek to meet other exceptionally creative, intelligent, and educated individuals, who have worked on themselves; who have a certain measure of success and stability in their lives; who are socially facile, and mature individuals, able to be honest with themselves and others; who are loyal through thick and thin; and who are tigers in protecting and caring for their families.
