My Baby's Father?

To be or not to be...a mom.

Now, that, is the question. And I'm sure it's a question that's going to be answered for me sooner rather than later.

The questions I've already answered:

Do I want to have a child?

Yes. I am very open to it. I would welcome any pregnancy, and I am very open to the possibility that I may fall in love and procreate with someone in the next couple years.

Do I want to go to a clinic to have a child on my own?

No. For me, I do not want to deliberately create a child that will not have a father.

Am I open to adoption?

Yes. In a few years, I would strongly consider this as a possibility. But I would prefer to have my own biological child. I like my DNA- I want to pass it on.

Well...I may have just been given that option.

Last night, a good friend offered to father my child.

It was a serious offer.

It's an option I have mildly considered in the past, but determined too difficult to pursue.

Now, as I am firmly in the midst of my final fertile years, I think I need to carefully consider this option. I am aware of all the pros and cons. Or at least most of the pros and cons.

Sometimes I think this decision is too big for me to tackle.
