You can find a partner at any age
That’s my thinking as well. I don’t want to wait to have kids just because I don’t have a partner. Although, having a partner would have made so many things easier, but no one has it easy so I want to go for it.
i mean, i’m 40. i had one real relationship of substance for a few years in my early 30s. it’s hard. but i have a pair of friends who are closing in on the end of the surrogacy path to have a kid and it has been HARD even as a couple. very expensive. multiple potential egg donors and surrogates falling through along the way. if it’s just about a family rather than a genetic fixation, i really would encourage adoption.
I do want to have a genetic child for me to give 100% love and care. In your comment about the hard part of not finding egg donor/surrogate, would you recommend to start the process asap? How much time does it take?
I’m thinking about that too. I am 28m
You are so young though, you can find a partner
Do your research on surrogacy agencies, as costs can vary. Look into international surrogacy too, like Mexico rather than USA. I didn't do this, but friends did.
Thank you! That’s what I have heard too. Need to start researching.
It’s a long journey where nothing is guaranteed but it’s possible to reach your goal. I would suggest your start looking into Facebook groups like gay dads and around surrogacy. Many people have all sort of blogs and IG pages outlining their stories and steps they went through.
I can see from my straight friends that the financial burden and the emotional toll is hard. From a financial perspective depending on how comfortable or challenging you want it to be think about the surrogacy cost plus the monthly expenses of your future baby including nanny/ day care and a fully funded emergency fund. From the emotional perspective in the short term think about dedicating all your time to another human being and changing your life for it.
Yeah, I have thought about the cost part. Want to save as much as possible in the next few years. I kind of want to dedicate my life raising a kid or kids (like everyone else does) and do family things. Tired of chasing the gay life tbh.
