I have wanted a family for most of my adult life. Unfortunately, when I was in a long-term relationship, my partner did not want children. I have been single for a few years now and have always worked outside the home until recently. Two years ago, I left my career as a psychologist and moved to be near my father who suffered a heart attack. After a successful double-bypass surgery, my father has now fully recovered with a lot of support from our family and friends.
Because my psychologist license is not transferable from state to state and because my father needed someone to manage the family business, moving back to my native home state also meant leaving my psychologist career behind and starting a new career. Although I often miss my career as a psychologist, my new career as manager for my family’s property allows me to work from home and will allow me to be a stay-at-home dad. Fortunately, both family and friends are very supportive of my journey to have a child.
The child will be blessed to experience so much love and support from many wonderful people.
I believe my primary responsibility as a father, will be to love and protect my child while creating a safe and secure environment. I also believe a child is most likely to thrive if they believe they have enough… enough love, acceptance, attention and guidance. Being a parent is the most amazing privilege I can imagine… the privilege of raising a child to feel safe and secure as well as unconditionally loved and unconditionally accepted.
I not only consider myself to be so very fortunate living in a day and time where, as a gay man, I have the opportunity to become a father, but I am also very appreciative of that amazing blessing.
A woman’s willingness to carry another person’s baby for nine months is one of the most wonderful, self-less gifts I can ever imagine receiving. Words alone cannot adequately express how appreciative I will be if you decide to choose me.
I would be willing.
