The rise of 'co-parenting': Broody, single women advertising for men to help them have babies
Daily Mail ^ | 08/18/2013 | EMMA ELMS

Posted on 08/18/2013 6:44:58 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

With their biological clocks ticking, time poor and cash rich 40-something singletons are turning to the internet to find their man.

But these broody women are not looking for a relationship - instead they are looking for someone to father their child. More and more people across the U.S and UK are opting for the so-called 'co-parenting’ relationships – biological parents who have an otherwise platonic relationship, but who both contribute to raising the child.

Emma Elms reports on the rise of the unconventional trend.

WANTED Male co-parent to father at least one child with an attractive, financially independent 42-year-old woman. Must be a fully involved co-parent happy to share emotional and financial responsibility. Pregnancy via IVF by January 2014.

Rachel Hope, 42, is a property developer from Los Angeles. She is attractive, successful…and wants to be pregnant by January 2014. After 18 months of searching for a potential baby father, she has signed up to a website giving her access to thousands of men across the world who, like her, aren’t looking for a relationship, but want a child with someone who’ll take their parenting role seriously. Instead of strings attached, there’s an umbilical cord. ‘I’m in serious talks with three men – one from India, one from Germany and a gay man from the US,’ says Rachel.

Melani, 42, a senior sales consultant from New York, has also joined Modamily.com. ‘Ideally, I’m looking for the whole package – love, man and a child – but I’m also 42 and, although I’m in great shape, my biological clock has almost finished ticking. I need to be as proactive as I can.’ Melani is looking for 50:50 involvement with a co-parent, providing equal emotional and financial commitment to the child.

So, does this include Sabrina Fulton vs. Tracy Martin vs. St. Tray?

Guess I am really out of step. Thought that a child was something created by a man and a woman and is an outpouring and symbol of their love for one another.

Anyone - male or female - who would be a party to this kind of an arrangement should never be a parent.

You’re so far out of it, you are now way ahead. Once society starts reaping, and when it gets bad enough, fatherhood will come back.

half your salary to her until the child was out of college.....and until, said child, finds a job, that will provide income to support that offspring outside of the mother’s home.....any man, who drops his sperm, in such a disgusting act, deserves anything that comes his way....

These people who have rejected having children up to that point in their life that are now looking for to have children in such a fashion are exactly the type of people who have no business procreating, IMO.

Human contact is too messy.

My cousin chose not to have children. She had breast cancer at a young age. She married someone with children, and she has been very involved in their lives.

She’s a wonderful person!

I do not trust people who chose to not have children. They lack empathy.

Plus they have little to no stake in the future beyond the end of their lives.

I don’t get this. A 40 something woman wants the guy to do half the parenting, pay half the costs and it has to be IVF?

Sounds like a great deal. Will jump right on that.... Oh wait.

Never mind.

Any man that agrees to this needs to have his head examined because his IQ doesn’t even exceed the single digits.

The only way a woman is getting my seed is by being my wife. Other than that she can KMA.

This is so empty, sad, and depressing I can’t stand it.

Good Lord, don’t bring a child into that sad empty life. So awful for him/her in so many respects!

Hey! I've chosen not to have children… though that's because I'm unmarried.
While I'd like to get married, I've no illusions that the fairer sex is interested in me (I'm kinda an unaccomplished loser, in my own opinion; I'm out of a job, even though I have a degree; and I'm somewhat asocial)* and many [American] women in my age-group seem rather indoctrinated in the feminist movement.

So, I assume in these "relationships" the mother gets full custody and the father has the joy of seeing his child on alternate weekends only. What fun! Oh, the joy to look forward to!

What is wrong with these idiots? I know, rhetorical question.

Yeah, it sure sounds like these women are looking for a man willing to go straight to “divorced” with alimony payments in exchange for giving her a couple kids.

Funny how all them advertise themselves as attractive and financially independent. They sound like they’re neither.
