Through artificial insemination, or simply by leaving the father a woman can decide to become a single mother?

Question

what possibilities does a man have to become a single dad, without having the childs mother in his life, replacing her with a payed nanny that cant divorce and take away his children, if he whishes to do so ?

I mean using his sperm to create the child.

mjbright you are right there, but for some men itll come down to choose the lesser of 3 evils.

Nah I dont want that for myself or my children, I found myself a nice traditional wife who is going to be a devote mother and not an "lets drop the children at daycare and rush to an affair between trying to patch up my career".

woman not wife (yet)

Wendy G maybe Men here are getting fed up with women. Look in the east to see what life is like for women in countries where men are fed up with women. Rapes and beatings en mass (and stonings).

Wendy G Iam not saying the women here or in saudi arabia deserve it, Iam just saying whats happening and why imo and it would be pretty naive that what happend in one corner of the earth cant happen in Europe or America.

Again Iam not judging on it, I just stated on the why and I might be wrong.

Red H D why would I have to limit myself to one child ?

RED H D I do not have such amiration and getting citizenship in any of the UA states isnt easy, its damn near impossible, also I prolly would have to be a holocaust denier or Israel hater to stand a chance.

Jo what you are saying is a father who wants to be a single parent is somehow sick ?

Answer 1

The father must procure a woman's ovum (or egg), hire a lab to fertilize the ovum with his sperm, then can hire a surrogate mother to carry and bear the child.

Another way is to hire a surrogate mother who is willing to sell her own ovum, thus eliminating one step in the above mentioned scenario. This might prove more difficult, as most surrogates prefer to carry and bear only a child who is not her own.

Another way is to consider adoption. Laws and restrictions are easing where single parents are concerned, especially for foreign country sources.

I googled "find surrogate mothers" and several links came up which sounded legitimate so you might try that for starters.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

Actually my 37 year old sister is currently looking into this herself. You know honestly, as I have spoken with her more and more about it I have come to be alright with it. I think that one could argue that although 2 parents are ideal and we should all strive to give children the opportunity of both a mother and a father, the reality is that it does not always happen. If my sister was 20 - 30 or even up to 34 and wanting to do this of course that would be a different story. But at age 37 (nearly 38) even if she did meet a man now, by the time they got to know each other and decided they were ready to have children together, she would be nearing an age that it would prove difficult and potentially risky to her health, not to mention the bigger picture of increased risk of DS etc. So the way I see it is that when choosing to become a parent, whether single, through IVF, as a couple, no matter how, we should just strive to do our best in our own particular circumstances. My future niece/nephew that my sister may have will have a great loving mother and lots of cousins and aunties and uncles to love it. That is alot more than some poor children get.

Nature decided to give human women's bodies the ability to give birth. It's much easier for women to become parents because all they require is the sperm. Once a woman has that, her body does all the rest - the hard work. Women didn't ask for this ability, but it is what it is. Men can either adopt or find a surrogate mother to have a baby for him. It seems that most men don't really want to be single dads anyway, so it's really not a big issue. But there are gay men who want kids and they typically adopt or get surrogate mothers and that works out for them.

You shouldn't make stupid comments about rape because that's a different subject and you clearly are not an expert on anything you've mentioned so far. I see nothing wrong with a man choosing to be a single parent, but since there's not a huge demand for it, I am not too concerned.

Answer 4

I think you are asking this question to highlight the perceived unfairness that many men have who are going through a divorce regarding child custody. If so, then here's my take: It's the children who get the short shaft and the courts need to work harder at getting at the truth of what is the best and fairest arrangement for the kids. But no one wins here.

I watched my brother go through a divorce and he was hurt deeply by not being able to see his kids very often while they were hashing out the divorce. I've also watched a friend give up custody of her kids (for health reasons) and now her ex-husband is having major problems because the kids want to see their mother and she is out of state. Divorce is hard on everyone. Bottom line: No matter how you feel about your ex-spouse, people need to try to put that aside, be civil and try to put the interests of the kids first.

Answer 5

Many men are asking this question. Its makes the feminists crazy as men are challenging one of women's basic sources of power - the power to bear.

Don't listen to the female noise you will get. Replace the woman with a paid nanny. Do it your way. If you don't, the feminists dominated legal system WILL TAKE YOUR CHILDREN away from you.

We live in The Feminist Republic of America.

Answer 6

I dont know if you speaking about children in general or children which you already have. Hopefully it is the first and there are two options: adoption and finding a surrogate mother. Both are difficult for a single father.

Anything is possible.

Answer 7

that is why the children of tday are the way they are.they have no real mother and father relationship. very little guidence thru childhood. the legal system has created laws to both prevent parents and schools from teaching disapline to students,as aresult you have a grown out of control generation of selfcentered kids.not all of the kids but enough to make it hard on the school system to teach and then jails full

Answer 8

None ;you do not have the parts to become a single Dad. Only women can become a single Mom. But why would you want to anyway?

Answer 9

why?? children need a stable home not someone who is selfish . a paid nanny cant them stability and love a mother can now can she?? , it is true many women do seperate and get a divorce from their husband today and he ends up without his children too. courts have made divorce to easy and for whatever reasn she or him can leave the marriage.. the child support is what kills a second marriage and then u barely cnahave time with them too.. that is where we at in todays world with fatherless children mostly .. mj .

Answer 10

I guess you would have to find a woman who would be willing to carry your baby for 9 months and then have the strength to give it up to you.
