Sophie and Julien in shared co-parenting

Hello, my name is Sophie, I am 33 years old, single and without children. At 34 years old and after many romantic disappointments and having found only a few trustworthy people, I realize that our society’s consumerist system also applies to people! What I’m going to say here is my personal opinion and I know that the generalities are not good but this only involves me… We take and throw away and replace partners as easily as a pair of socks!

It’s so difficult to find one’ s mate nowadays that having a child with a person you think is “the right one for life” is not necessarily accurate! I prefer to find a person with whom I share a goal and a dream and with whom I can build a friendship! I want to be a single mom by myself because if I have to wait to find what I might never find (my prince charming) I am losing the best years of my life and the complicit time I could be spending with my child.

After doing some research on the Internet, I ended up registering on several co-parenting meeting sites. Beginning is difficult, we don’t really know what to say or where to start. We learn a new vocabulary that was unknown to us at the time. Co-parenting, homo-parenting, home or natural insemination and of course co-father and co-mother.

I am not only looking to be pregnant but I am also looking for a man who would like to share my dream of becoming a parent. I want my child to be happy and have a father and a role model as well as an understanding of his origins… This is my choice.

I ended up talking to many men, all very interesting with different and diverse backgrounds and motivations, always in a courteous manner. We do not only choose based on feeling but also on what our child will look like in the future. Both physically and mentally. That’s why I would never have turned to an anonymous medical solution where you can’t know anything about the sperm that will be inseminated to you.

After several encounters and some time to learn about us, I met THE person I imagined: Julien. The man who will be the father of my child. This man, who was a stranger to me until then and whom I have never seen before, will suddenly become very important to me for he will be THE FATHER OF MY CHILD.

After several attempts to conceive (about 5 nights) the test finally delivered the long-awaited sign! I am very happy, Julien too. We’re both in our thirties, are single and will soon become parents.

Long live co-parenting, this understanding of family that I didn’t know and that ultimately changed my life and filled me with happiness.
