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.

    If you live in a state that allows single men to foster and adopt, that is one possibility.

    And yes I’m sure paid surrogates can work with single guys. There are agencies for those.

    Good luck to you.

      Thanks. If all goes as I hope, I will be moving to California next summer which is when I intend to pursue this.
