Paid egg donor wanted

[MinnesotaSmith]

We've found probably enough candidates through agencies that look like they'd do for us, I believe. Wifey has a 3-day weekend this weekend, and has volunteered to compile the spreadsheet of the candidates, print the emails I've had with agencies, etc. We're strongly expecting that we will be able to pull the trigger early next week and tell one of the 3 or 4 agencies that we're repeatedly talking to that we want to go with their donor in particular.

BTW, the actual donor fees are higher than I'd expected, for the private agencies that don't have a DMV "take it or leave it" attitude such as the university teaching hospital programs seem to have. Looks like more like $6K is what a donor could expect to get paid by us for her time and trouble (not counting transportation, nice motel, meals, etc.) while in N. TX.

Oh, and if anyone knows a potential donor that could use that amount of lawfully-acquired money towards her education, starting a business, getting a bunch of preps, improving her family's land, health care costs of someone in her family, or (IMO best of all) towards starting her own family with her husband, the possibility is still there for now. I rather like the idea that that amount of money would go to someone at least connected to the prepper community.
(She could even be paid in PMs, if desired.)

I'm neither a socialist (as the National SOCIALISTS unabashedly were), nor at all inclined to put in place the many feminist doctrines that they were, and neither is my wife. So, the child (or children, there's a good chance of twins) my wife and I are going to have (birth a little bit into the new year or or so?) will definitely not be raised by Nazis.

Now that you've chosen to violate Godwin's Law of internet discussions, you are almost certainly logically and factually in the wrong. You managed to achieve that in a single sentence, of a merely TWO sentence post. Usually it takes a pretty severe case of political correctness to achieve going intellectually wrong that badly, that rapidly. Hmmm...

Godwin's Law:

"A term that originated on Usenet, Godwin's Law states that as an online argument grows longer and more heated, it becomes increasingly likely that somebody will bring up Adolf Hitler or the Nazis. When such an event occurs, the person [loner] guilty of invoking Godwin's Law has effectively forfeited the argument."

MS, I think you lack the skills set that's really required to be an effective parent. I think you obviously have the whole sperm/egg thing covered, but over the years you seem to lack some of the social skills that are needed. I'm not trying to slam you, but you seem to be excessively rigid, lack empathy, and fail to see things beyond the clear black and white. You appear to really need to be in control, and although you are courteous, you appear to not have the ability to socially think and act on the fly. Have you heard these things about yourself before?

You seem to have put a lot of work into the finding the surrogate and egg thing, and I hope you put even more effort into relationship part of being a parent. From where I stand, there are some things you really need to work on.

When you acheive that is when you earn the title of dad.

Good Luck!

You have no idea who my husband really is. I am proud to be his wife and even prouder to be the mother of our future children. Take a look deep inside yourself before you and others throw stones.

You've most likely looked into this already, but if not, how about checking some of the Mensa SIGs in your area? We have some in this area of the country that focus on shooting and related RKBA interests. Not strictly prepper but the members generally lean in that direction.

Just a thought...

Thank you for sharing that idea with us.

I was in MENSA briefly way back in undergrad days (it wasn't that hard to get in, an ACT of 27 did it, I think), but haven't been active since.

Not many people in MENSA young enough to be egg donors themselves, but they do have younger sisters, nieces, daughters in college, etc.

Maybe that's not such a bad idea.

Thanks for (politely) posting.

I think you might want to check your hubby's internet history before you comment on his past behavior. Please know that I am being much, much kinder
than MS has ever been to anyone who disagreed with him. Although he certainly prides himself on being intellectually "nice," his comments are consistently mean-spirited, bigoted, and condescending, and again, I'm being kind in my choice of descriptives.

I sincerely meant it when I said, "Good luck," because lady, you're going to need it. I would never wish ill-will on anyone raising a child. This is serious business, which is why I think most of us on this thread are hoping that you reconsider. While I'm sure you want to be a mom, raising a child is much more than an intellectual decision. Although your "plan" seems to be in order, life has a funny way of changing what you'd hoped would happen.

My comment was based on MS's history of obviously not understanding social nuances since his personal life by his own admission is littered with a long trail of broken relationships. In my experience of raising 3 almost grown children by the same woman, it's "emotional IQ" that determines how successful you'll be in establishing a relationship with a child, and based on MS's history on this board, he's got a losing track record.

One more question that I'm sure all of us want to ask you is this - how could you willingly agree to a paternity test for any child of yours? Every adult I know would be highly offended by the mere suggestion, let alone this "requirement." You realize what this says about you, right?

OK, Lucky Guy... you've made your point.

I will say that I suspect many of us actually have "known" MS for longer than his wife, and unless his written communication skills are really "off", his postings over the 12 years I've been on various boards with him have justified some of the reservations expressed by a couple of the posters above. I share them.

But the decision isn't ours, obviously, and I pray for the child's sake that they end up as perfect as you're trying to guarantee, because nothing MS has ever posted gives any of us any confidence that he'd be able to love any child which wasn't "perfect" according to his standards.

But guys, let's keep it civil, ok?

That is one of my biggest questions. What happens if this child is born with downs , a chronic illness, or other birth defects ? Fetal tests & ultrasounds do not always show ever thing.
