From an early age I had a plan. My prince would arrive, we would be first loves and would marry in our early twenties. The big church wedding with a huge fluffy white gown would be swiftly followed by three perfect children. I would be a wonderful wife and mother, we would grow up and grow old together. The plan was revised in my early 20s; some amendments were made in my late 20s; and, there were significant crossing outs by my early 30s. The plan was a well-used and much loved piece of paper.
Still, my prince did arrive. Not on horseback but holding the hand of his three year old son. I wasn’t his first love, nor he mine. The most joyous day of my life was a small, private affair in a garden, creating an instant family of three. Give or take a few changes, the plan was now back on track. Three miscarriages, numerous IVF cycles and at 39 the doctor’s words that my eggs would probably never have the energy to carry a baby to term and the plan, now in tatters, seemed best placed in the bin.
Time has passed. Now is the time for a new plan.
Step families are not easy but through hard work and mutual respect, all three of us have worked hard to create a loving family. Throw two dogs into the mix and our home is often in the state of happy pandemonium. We both work hard but have achieved a happy and healthy work/family life balance. Any baby could expect to be showered in love; encouraged in any endeavour; develop curiosity about the world surrounding us; be spoilt by loving and supportive grandmothers; and, cultivate a strong love for shoes ;) and sport.
To fulfill our new plan we need the help of a kind and generous woman aged between 18 and 35 who is healthy and preferably, has completed her own family. While we reside in Sydney, we are prepared to travel interstate or assist you to travel to us. We will cover all medical costs and expenses incurred.
We would be happy to "talk" to anyone who may be interested or would like to know more. We can be contacted by pm or at mkmdoh@bigpond.net.au
