We have the recipe for a wonderful permaculture life upstate in the woods and farm, but we somehow forgot the eggs.
We looked at Trader Joes, but, well, aside from chicken eggs utterly had no success.
While a chicken-human hybrid would be great at running around the yard and eating bugs, and probably get us lots and lots of views on Instagram and YouTube, that likely is not the best option for us starting a family.
Which is why we are asking for your help and participation.
We don't want to use a commercial egg service because it is entirely too clinical and algorithmic, with nearly all of the crucial information not collected or provided.
Using a for-profit business makes it totally impossible for us to actually MEET our donor collaborator and have open and honest DISCUSSIONS about our shared interests and goals, what makes us us, and our mutual genetic heritage, which, of course, is the key to having healthy children who happily share our interests and lifestyle, and, finally, who look like us (no horns, no tentacles, and no single giant eye in the middle of the forehead).
Beyond your wonderful contribution to our future life, we are happy to financially compensate you because we know how difficult it is to be poked and prodded by doctors and undergo all sorts of testing and questioning.
We're hoping you can share your fertility with us and help us realize a dream we both suppressed for years because we thought it not merely out of reach, but actually impossible for us.
The two of us, in short, never expected to find each other, let alone be able to have children.
Neither of us is conventional nor do we have typical job roles or incomes.
He's a writer, artist, gardener, fabricator, chef, and engineer.
She's an artist, gardener, chef, writer, and landscape architect, and worked on building projects for education which was intellectually satisfying and rewarding, but not financially so.
We both like to dress fancy in an offbeat sort of way and like to visit gardens and arboretums.
We met late in life, long after her eggs took the last train for the coast and, alas, she did not freeze any because that was unbelievably expensive at the time, with ongoing yearly expenses for storage, and she thought a husband and children would never happen, and, besides, she didn't make enough on her own to provide a decent life for a child in NYC.
Freezing eggs really wasn't an affordable or viable option for most women in those days.
So sad.
He's recently inherited a little money from his dad and uncle.
So we decided to get out of Dodge while the getting is good.
Our plan is heading upstate where land and taxes are very affordable, the cost of living is far lower, tasty food can be grown without lots of effort, we can raise ducks and chickens for eggs, and our children can have a wonderful life scampering around in the trees, swimming in a pond we made, and going camping in our own woods.
Plus friendly barn cats, goofy but reliable dogs, and, of course, some baby goats in pajamas.
(Definitely baby goats in pajamas.
) We are from-scratch building an energy-efficient house in the woods (yay!) which will use solar and wind for electricity, have its own water supply, and clearing a little land for raising our own food, including a greenhouse for the winter, and digging a pond for swimming and fishing, and the ducks.
So we're pretty good on the great life part.
But, again, no viable eggs.
Which really complicates the having children part.
Sigh.
Her extended family is quite small, and she consequently has no siblings, few cousins, and lacks any suitable donors with common genetics.
Believe us, we looked.
:( This is the point where you hopefully come in like the cavalry, or maybe just a female version of the Lone Ranger (hat and mask optional), and save the day by delivering the eggs we so desperately need to be happy.
In summary of our quest, we seek a woman, under thirty, who matches our genetics and personality traits: highly intelligent; valuing education and knowledge; creative, crafty and artistic; with similar cultural and intellectual interests; good sense of humor; and, of course, reasonably close in physical appearance.
He's white and a blend of various European backgrounds (English, Greek, German, Russian, and Eastern European).
Tall, slim, with dark hair, except for the part on top of the head fell out in his twenties (thanks mom and dad!) so he shaved off the remainder.
She's white, and a blend of Scottish and Armenian.
(Go figure how that happens.
) Dark, curly hair (which fortunately did not fall out in her twenties; thanks mom and dad!), heart-shaped face, petite.
We share a multiplicity of interests, including cooking, gardening, decorating, art, architecture, astronomy, photography, and projects.
While we are both American by birth, you can be from anywhere.
We are seeking a nice blend and balance between the various sides of us: artistic (music, art, design, etc.
), language (enjoyment of the written word, including reading/writing non-fiction including literature, poetry, history, science, art, etc.
), technical interests and vocation (architect, engineer, biologist, physicist, astronomer, rocket scientist, etc.
), and everything else (puns and word games, cooking, board/strategy games and puzzles, movies, plays, costumes for Halloween, etc.
).
We have a healthy and sustainable lifestyle, and seek a woman who has the same: never street drugs, no to moderate alcohol, avoiding processed food, and moderate exercise.
Neither of us has a family history of cancer, heart disease, kidney disease, deafness, mental illness, assholery (well, this IS New York, so relaxed standards apply), or other genetic diseases, for which we are very, very thankful.
What we do NOT want is a cold mathematical algorithm deciding our children's genetic make-up and future; we want to actually MEET you, ideally more than once, TALK with you, again more than once, and make this somewhat strange and awkward process of creating life happen as organically as possible, given the sad circumstances in which we find ourselves.
We want our family to begin with love and generosity and, above all else, a bit of magic, not with an industrial mill, not driven by computer algorithms, and not a purely financial transaction.
Talk with us.
Collaborate with us.
Let's make some children.
