I'm not too sure how committed I am to this idea yet, but I am clearly thinking about it. This profile is just an attempt to see what might happen if I put the question out into the world.

I'm a somewhat ordinary guy, but I have my eccentricities. I think under the right guidance my genes could make a good kid.

Obviously, I'm older, but I think of that as you getting to see how things turn out long-term. I am gay, so my reasoning in pursuing this is that I am the end of the line. I removed co-parenting from my interests, but that was just to open up to more people. I'm neither for or against it. I'd need to talk about it.

I am an adoptee myself and recently identified both parents and my half-siblings. I turned out better than them and I feel no obligation to be modest in observing this. Nurture really matters in the case of these genes I have to offer. Kids are a lot of work, and looking back, I think my mom did well, but I still needed more. I look at the genetic family history, however, and see that we're not that impressive a bunch. But having said that, I was raised to believe I was simply marvelous and that has truly raised me out of whatever is keeping the rest of my siblings back. I'm no miracle worker, but I am well adjusted, over-educated and capable, and despite my many flaws, I have managed to survive and often thrive in the world.
