So, I have this crazy plan. To get irresponsibly knocked up. I'm giving myself five years to accomplish this plan. This is year one. Some people may think this is easy to do, after all people get accidentally pregnant all the time! Well, I've got some road blocks, but I prefer to call them challenges:

1. I'm a lesbian, and don't want to have sex with a man
2. I don't have a partner to share this journey with
3. I don't have a lot of money to spend at a sperm bank
4. None of my current male friends want to be a sperm donor
5. I'm 35, so there is this biological clock ticking ever louder
6. I live in a small town, in the South
7. I work for the homophobic county government

Now here's the list of things I've got going in my favor:

1. I'm healthy
2. I have every reason to believe I am fertile
3. I have an amazing support system of friends

So, I put out the word that I'm looking for a sperm donor, I've asked all my friends to ask all their friends and relatives if they would consider it. Many men thought about it and declined for a variety of reasons. Most men who declined didn't want to be a part of making a child without also being that child's father. I am open to shared parenting, and having my donor in my child's life, but I am looking for a donor, and not a father.

I actually don't have that many requirements for a donor. I want a healthy guy (no redheads) under 40. That's pretty much my only requirements. Of course I would also like him to be smart, kind, even-tempered, tall, attractive, and on and on. But let's not get too choosy!

Oh yeah, and in the rest of my life, I quit my job! This was incredibly freeing and liberating. I now work for a company who actually have sexual orientation listed in their anti-discrimintation policy for the first time in my life. Sure I'm making less money, but who needs lots of money!?
