Sigh.
Besides, it's tough getting the "village" taxpayers to support and raise your child if "Mr. Right" is living in the home.
"Goodbye men, it was nice knowing you."
Unless these women are Lesbians, don't they know how much fun their missing by going the route of the sperm donor?
I really am screwed now (pun not intended). Perhaps lifelong singlehood isn't as bad as it sounds.
This is a time bomb waiting to ruin your life. It goes off the day "Mommy" finds herself broke and goes after you for child support. Guarantees of anonymity won't mean jack to an activist judge.
I categorically don't date single/divorced/widowed moms. Kids are a bad scene for a bachelor about town, and I have no interest in raising some other guy's children.
"Thirteen-year-old Liz Herzog, whose father is donor number 1002 "
Sick, selfish women..thinking only of their own wants.
This practice is demented.
What totally selfish women. They are more concerned with themselves and their "biological clocks" than with providing their child with EVERYTHING that child needs to be well rounded. It's tough enough when something happens to your spouse (death, etc.) to raise a child alone, but to do it without even thinking of the consequences is unimaginable.
"Thirteen-year-old Liz Herzog, whose father is donor number 1002 from Virginia's Fairfax Cryobank, says she's happy with her life."
Shades of "Brave New World". Kinda gives me the willies.
Because you never had one to begin with, many fatherless children would LOVE to have a father.
I always disliked the school assignments where you had to trace back your ancestry. The point was that no one is an American -- except Native Americans. My father's side goes back over 200 years in America. My mother's side goes back over 300 years. But my teachers always told me I was not American, I was from an immigrant family. I hated that.
But at least my family tree didn't include donor number 1002.
Heck, my fear, as a man, would be some loony family judge would make me have to pay child support...
Me, me, me, I want, I want, I want, nice example mom. Whatever happened to patience is a virtue. Or, did it ever occur to these women that the reason they didn't have men in their lives to father their own children is because the men didn't think they were a suitable for motherhood? If only the clinics could screen the potential mother...
Sorry to ping you to this miserable article. Swirling down the drain for sure.
:-(
"It was time to accessorize and i was sooo tired of new shoes, so I got a baby. I picked out the eye and hair color to match my drapes... did it as quickly as possible to avoid having to interrupt my career as a gen-u-wine number in an office cubicle. My baby gets me so much attention, and I feel so special!"
I would say the probability of these bimbos' kids turning out screwed up is just about unity.
"I couldn't form an enduring attachment to another human adult, and my condo association doesn't allow pets, so I had a baby."
And hey, if you change the carpets and the baby's eyes don't match, the muslims of Pakistan are always buying.
d.o.l.

So rather than become Miss Right, these wymyn are not waiting for Mister Right and are settling for Mister Right Now (for ten minutes)?
"I need to go and have a baby and be a mother, and so I did,"
I,I,I. It's the 'me' generation.
In it he gives anecdotes and statistics about the abuse of children without married parents. I met an enlightened DC area woman who followed the advice of this article. The first time I met her she was smacking her cat because it meowed.
The chief wife is mainly for the purpose of demonstrating the ability to absorb vast quantities of financial damage.
