looking for the unconventional

Submitted by marla on Fri, 02/01/2008 - 4:05pm.

Hello! My name is Marla. I would like to adopt a child ag 3-9 in the next few years and would love to find a co-parent to share responsibility, as my partner does not want to do the day to day parenting again but play more of an aunt role. We plan to live separately while I raised my child. I think I'll be a better mom if there is another parent in the picture... kind of like a divorce custody situation... I know it's not ideal, but there are lots of kids out there who need homes and I know I can make it work if I find the right person who has similar values and someone I will develop a friendship with first! Has anyone ever heard of someone doing anything like this before?? I can't find anyone who has or any gay men who want anything other than a biological child... any suggestions of where to look??
Thanks!

Hi. I read your post and while my partner and I are working through surrogacy to become parents, we read a book titled, "Gay Dads" by David Strah. The book is a compilation of stories of families that came about by adoption, foster care, surrogacy, marriage (and then divorce) and yes, co-parenting (pg 77, "a fatherhood not by design"). I bought the book at Barnes and Noble and I think it could provide a bit of insight for you. Good luck.

Hi, I found your response and wish you the best. I am an experienced surrogate. I am ready to be matched with a couple. I am working with SPCT in Dallas, Texas. If you are interested in using me as a surrogate, I'd be pleased to meet with you. You would simply contact SPCT at Phone: 214-742-6222 and ask about experienced surrogate "L.F." in West Texas.
