Preparing for motherhood…on your time
Today, many single career women are looking to start a family without taking on the time-consuming responsibility of finding “the one”. Many are turning to the help of a donor and utilizing the many resources available to assist them in their search for the perfect match.
Prospective mothers are able to browse through detailed profiles of hundreds of donors online at their own convenience, allowing them to effectively hand-pick the traits, personalities and personal habits she desires.
With that, professional women are looking for specific traits that are desirable to them. Below are some qualities that are available to you in part of the selection process.
An Ideal Lifestyle
Ladies, it isn’t just about brains. Naturally the ideal donor should have a healthy and active lifestyle. Donors with an impressive job, educational background who lead a very sedentary and inactive lifestyle in their spare time are obviously viewed as less than desirable.
Men who keep fit on a regular basis are more likely to have increased levels of energy and vitality, and this will be reflected in their donation. Also, donors with a quality fitness and diet regimen will generally possess a higher count of good quality sperm to ensure first-time success. Keep in mind that smoking, alcohol consumption, stress and fatigue can all have a negative impact on the “quality” of the donor.
Personality
In order to make the selection process even simpler, banks often provide personality type information on the available donors.
The most popular personality choice for women tends to be Type B. Qualities such as composure and confidence are typically reflected in this personality type. Donors with this personality also tend to display a number of desirable, positive traits, such as higher empathy, a responsible nature, and a more self-assured attitude.
Alternatively, type A personalities often reflect an anxious character and someone who may be less sociable and more prone to stress and fatigue. In the end, you have a choice to select a personality, just like you would in getting to know someone without the wait.
Shared Traits
To many potential mothers it is important that she and the intended donor share certain characteristics. Some prefer the donor to share the same physical traits down to the last detail, including hair and eye colour, build and bone structure. This can delay in the selection process.
In order to optimize the child-rearing experience, it is important to keep in mind that other qualities can have a significant impact such as personal circumstances and environmental factors.
Remember that just because you are in the middle of your career doesn’t mean you have to make a split decision. The selection process is completely individual to you. At the end of the day, your life choices are on your own time.
