I co-wrote the book 'Making Roma' with sperm donor Wil and his wife Megan. Before Roma was even conceived, we started detailing our jouney in what has become quite a thought provoking memoir. We hope the book (available here) and our story on 60 Minutes, will inspire other women and men to consider this choice. My blog is a continuation of our journey together, as I raise my donor conceived child as a solo mum by choice.

Still seeking Mr. Right
I thought the desire for a partner would dwindle once I had a child. I thought i would be too busy, too tired and too distracted to make it a priority. I thought I would receive all the love and companionship i needed through my child. But that doesnt seem to be the case. I'm back on teh dating scene and have just suffered my first rejection. I will call him 'the mechanic.' The mechanic ticked all the boxes, was great with Roma, nice genuine down to earth guy, was seeing him for about 2 months until Thursday. 'No spark' he said. Fair enough, I didnt exactly feel fireworks going off either but figured i would give it time. I am dissapointed and it has heightened me feelings of need in that area of my life. I had grand expectations of the mecanic and now they have been taken away there is a bit of a hole remaining. A lack. How do you find that chemistry, that spark, that click, when Internet dating? The instant attraction and flirtation that otherwise happens doesnt because you are meeting up with someone because they tick the boxes not because they send your heart a flutter or you cant get enough of their conversation...or aftershave. So where to from here? I think i will try again, I'm thinking of it as a numbers game. The more men i meet, the more likely i will find chemistry and all the goosebumps that come with it.
