Congrats on your decision. You will experience a love more profound than you can now imagine. My partner and I decided to have a child in 1985 and used a sperm bank In the San Francisco Bay Area. We had the option of picking a donor who was willing to have his identity revealed to our child when she reached 18. To us it was important to give our child that option. My gf was 14 years younger than me and decided she wanted someone else when our daughter was only 3. It was very hard but I wanted to have her in my life so I sucked it up and had every other weekends and sharred holidays, paying child support etc. I am glad I did. She is now 25, married and expecting her first baby--I am over the moon about the new spirit arriving in July. Some of my most amazing and most hearbreaking experinces came about because of my little girl--I wouldn't change it for the world. Her Mom and I are now the best of friends--it wasn't always easy but very worth it. The best of luck to you and remember to savour every moment. Jean
