I offered someone my sperm today
So I was having this conversation my close friend, Claire this evening, and we got to talking about kids. She's a lesbian BTW, in fact I think I might have mentioned recently that she just broke up with girlfriend. Well good news they're working things out and getting back on track! Anyway we were talking about kids and she was saying how she really wanted to have her own kids, like biologically. So I was like "so whatcha gonna do for sperm?" and she was like "well I guess we'll ask a friend". So I said "ohh, well you can keep me in mind for that!" and she really liked that idea, said all sorts of nice things about genetic traits we might pass on . I think our kids would be really great!
So yeah, I know it sounds like I just made a really big decision very spur of the moment, which I totally did, but on the other hand it's like definitely the only decision I could possibly reach even if I debated it for a long time. I think it's sort of like getting proposed to, I mean you should really think about it before you get married etc. Yet, when the time for the proposal comes I think it's nice if you're just so sure you blurt out your answer. Anyway I am sure, besides this is something that's probably like 8-10 years down the road so it's not like I really need to think about it much now anyway.
I've pretty much wanted to be a dad since I was like 15 anyway. Seriously I've always joked that if I were a girl I'd be tempted to just go out and try to get pregnant (but secretly making babies without the guy's consent is naughty so I wouldn't REALLY do it). Anyway, I'd love the idea of having a baby out there and I know it would be really loved so I think I could handle not being one of the primary caregivers. Besides we've been close since highschool (almost 8 years now), so I'm sure I could still be like an "uncle" or something.
Of course the whole thing makes me think about having my own kids. I've pretty much decided that regardless of where my life is when I'm 35 (if not sooner) I'm going to start looking into adopting. Even if I have to like adopt a baby from overseas or even move out of the country. Two parents would be better and I'd really like to share the experience with someone, but I'm not going to rely on it. Besides when it comes to things I really want I've always been game to do them byself if no one feels like taking part. So I doubt this would be any different.
Anyway there's other stuff I could talk about, but I might as well keep this blog entry "focused" and just leave it with that. Take care all and have an awesome day!
