Hello, I am a happy and healthy single & dating woman. I am an accomplished musician and graduate of Rutgers University. I find myself 40 and single after a very long relationship didn't work out several years back (but it was for the best). I have been dating but am uncomfortable with the pressure around my biological clock meaning I have to find love and procreate with that person immediately. I am aware my biological clock is ticking, but I feel very fertile. I've recently been dating a 26 year old wonderful man actually, but we are both not ready to make parenting our full-time career (and put aside music and other pursuits completely). I came here wondering if there is some nice couple, perhaps a gay couple, or some pair that cannot have children of their own. Perhaps there is a unique situation that is just right where a small committed few want to be a part of making a wonderful child and raising it full of love. I see myself wanting to be a Mother, I have so much love to give, but not wanting to give up myself as an artist completely. I would say my biggest issue is not being able to afford a child on my own as an independent musician, though I've had some good successes.

I am actually a child of adoption (age 3 months), but have the most amazing family/adoption story... So I know firsthand that true love of a child can and does exist even if it is not biologically yours. I think somehow because I did not have a biological connection, I have always wanted to explore it on a deep and primal level. I also feel I want to pass on the musical gifts, etc., that I was blessed with by my birth parents. I guess I wouldn't be here if I hadn't turned 40 recently. It's a bit hard for myself and my friends to believe it, as I am usually mistaken for under 30. But I am 100% fine with my age, except for the biological fact that I may not be able to have children in the coming future years. I wonder if I'd look back and feel I missed the most special experience that life can offer, and the deepest kind of love. Perhaps there is someone(s) out there that I would be the perfect fit for...
