I’m beginning to accept that I may never be in a relationship again. There are life expectations I have for myself, some admittedly selfish, but really, the idea of having to deal with another grownup who is as obstinate as I am has left me disillusioned about relationships. But I want to have kids. I want to be a father. For women, its fairy easy, go to a sperm bank, pick your choice, get the procedure done and you are on your way. What is the process for dudes? I believe its going to involve a surrogate, but where does one get a donor egg and what not? I am not looking to have a relationship with an egg donor or the surrogate, just me and the kids.

    That’s a bit of an over simplification. There’s 40 of pregnancy and birth. Also caring for a newborn is very difficult. You may be better off trying to adopt.

      Oh, I know that. It was intended as an oversimplification. I know the complications that come with it. Adoption is a possibility as well.
