Other Info:
I am a 38 year old woman who, after coming harmoniously out of a childless 5 year marriage at 31 (we're still friends, just not supposed to be together) has not been able to meet a significant other in the intervening years. I have always believed I would be a mother, and it breaks my heart that it might not happen, so that is why I am here.
I am healthy non-smoker who drinks socially and exercises regularly through dancing.
I have been a nanny to children aged 4 months to 5 years, I taught French to 10 year olds in an after school club at the local primary school and ran a youth drama group for several years, with 40 chidren aged 4 - 17 years, so I know I can relate to children of all ages. I am often told that I would make a great and fun mum, and my relationship with my three year old nephew is close, despite him living in Western Australia.
For what it's worth, I have a high IQ (but missed Mensa by 1%!), I speak several languages, I played flute at the Royal Festival Hall as a 17 year old, and I have climbed Ben Nevis. I have a good, secure job in communications that pays well, and I have savings, but currently am living with my parents in the large village-based house they raised their family in. My mother, a nurse, is very fit and active, easily 10-15 years younger than her real age (61), whilst my father is unfortunately frail and needs care, which is why I am living here for now. They are both fully supportive of my plan to have a baby alone, as is my sister in Australia, who is married with her second child on the way. For my part, it would be wonderful to raise a small child in the house and garden I grew up in, with granny's home cooking :) I have a great support network of friends who would all like nothing more than to see me become a mother, and have all offered to help with child care as such times as needed.
In a donor, I'm honestly not sure whether I would like a co-parent or donor only, but that is something that I think will become apparent when we talk more and get to know each other. If I have contacted you, it is because I believe that on paper you sound like the kind of person that I might choose for a father of my child. It would be great to then chat a little and see how things progress from there. It might be important to mention at this stage that I am considering a move to Italy or France in the next five years.
