$$$Have Baby, Get Paid$$$
39-year old male who does not want relationship but wants child. I am looking for a healthy white female, 25-35 to carry child to term. Upon delivery of him/her, you will sign over all rights and I will pay you $50,000. I have a full-time live-in nanny, so no further service will be required. Serious Inquiries Only.

As they discussed this, several issues arose among the callers, some of which were:
1. A man that wants a baby w/o a mother must be gay or a child molester.
2. Any woman that could give up her child is unnatural.
3. A man can't raise kids on his own, you need two.
4. Damn, this guy is selfish and he's getting a child for the wrong reasons.
Now, I know we have a lot of mothers, fathers, and parents-to-be around here, and I was curious. How many of these came to mind for you? Did you discount any of them for the knee-jerk prejudices they are, or are there any that you feel are valid? Would you have a kid on your own if life didn't work out to where you were in the 'ideal' situation?
For the record, my rebuttals to the above, lest Totes cry about how I'm not taking a stand:
1. I assume, not being a man, that the yen for tiny feet in tiny socks isn't limited to having a ******. I assume that there are men out there cough*Smoggy*ehem that always pictured themselves as fathers, but life just didn't pan out. That said, adopting when you're gay must be hard due to societal prejudices, and I don't doubt there are sicko baby farmers out there but not in the majority.
2. Some women like pregnancy but not motherhood. As long as they know this about themselves and want to help, why not? It's a giving act, even if I don't know if I could do it.
3. Bullsh*t.
4. What the hell is the 'right' reason? I met her at a bar and I knocked her up? Not everyone can or does plan their kids for optimum cash flow and family stability.
