Blogger looks for sperm donor online
Categories: Love & sex, Pregnancy & birth, Single parenting
These days, you can get just about anything on-line. Apparently, "just about anything" includes a sperm donor. I don't know how legitimate this is, but given the purchases made by the Golden Palace Casino, and the recent auctions for young women's virginity, it certainly could be real, even if it isn't. A blogger has decided that she's ready to have a baby and, not having a handy man around the house, has posted on her blog looking for one.Amy Jones says she is twenty-six years old, has "most of a PhD in Biophysics and will be finishing my JD before the child is born" and will be able to work from home, for the most part, once she returns to work. Going by the picture posted (which may or may not be of the young lady in question), I would think she would have little or no trouble finding a "sperm donor" in the real world, without putting it all out there on the internet. It strikes me as a little sensationalist and unnecessary.
Further, if she is really interested in raising a child (and not just some hot unprotected sex), why not consider adopting? Then she wouldn't have to go through nine months of discomfort at best and sheer hell at worst. Even if she is desperate for a genetic connection, at twenty-six, she's still got at least a dozen years to find a partner to help raise the kid. I'm not saying two parents are necessary, but it sure makes it a lot easier. Truth be told, I'm not sure what to think of this. What say you?

I saw this blog yesterday, and I thought about it all day today. The more I think about it, the more disturbing it becomes.
This young, potentially succesful, pretty GIRL, is willing to put an innocent baby on this planet, when she herself obviously needs to do a lot of growing up. When/if she does become the "career woman" she wants to be, will she even have the time to be a proper single mother?
To me it sounds like she needs to have a wakeup call and take the time to find herself before bringing a baby into the picture.

I believe this is a hoax but if it's not I think this woman has obvious issues. I am stunned that any normal person would do something like this. There has to be something wrong with her and honestly, while this an incredibly rude thing to say, I hope she's infertile.
Like Heather said, she needs some growing up to do but worse, there are men "applying" for the job. Do they think that's her picture and they'll be doing this the old fashioned way?
Sick. Very sick people.
