Need some wisdom on something that does not come up every day

Ladies and Gents,

Am facing a subject that does not come up very often, no pun intended.

Am going out with a woman who lives 1000 miles away from me. Why oh why do I get into relationships with people so far away...

Anyways several things to bring up in the mix. She is 34 and has one child, a 8 year old son. I am going to be 57 in less than a month and no kids. Always wanted them, just did not work out with the ex-wife.

I went over to spend Thanksgiving with her last month and something interesting came up. At dinner she asked if I would be interested in being a "donor" so that she could have a child. We have known each other for 5 years or so, but only become "involved" in the last 4 months. To tell the truth I thought she was too young for me, so do not think it was anything other than friends. Guess she had other thoughts...

Her comments were that she did not think it was a good idea to have a single child, she has been wanting to have a second child for a while, and of all of her friends I was the one she liked and respected the most. As well she is concerned about waiting too much later as the older you get the more issues ladies have with the birth and problems with the child. She does not mind raising the child alone, but the subject of how much involvement, if any, she is looking for on my end is a major question. As well do I want someone raising "my" child alone if that were to happen. That said, I am the last male in my family line and would not mind having a child. Sex does not matter, what matters is a healthy child.

There are some other things with her that make me feel that this may not be the "woman of my dreams" but still I have known her for a long time and still like her. As for having a child with her am not against it but also concerned about possible other legal issues that would come along with it.

Anyone have any suggestions or ideas on this? Before you ask, no photos, would rather be banned! All I can say is that she is a tall (5' 10") blonde and a pilot.

Thx,

Joe A
