[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my colleagues got married at 40 and had a baby at 41.

I also have a friend who decided at 40 that she really wanted a baby more than anything.  She hadn't found Mr. Right, and decided that if she wanted a baby, she was going to have to put that on hold and have a baby asap.  She ended up hooking up two different people (not at once) at an academic conference, and had her baby at 41.  She did eventually meet her husband in the pediatrician's office.  He was the uncle of someone else's kid there.  Their story is one of my favorites.  This is what I think I would do in this situation: realize that she probably won't have a baby unless she prioritizes that above all else.   [/quote]

Did she tell the person she had hooked up with about the kid?[/quote]

No.  She lives in England.  The conference was in Sweden; one guy was German and the other was Swiss.  She says she doesn't know which is the bio father and doesn't care.  She says it would be "unfair" to contact the father, and her DH has adopted her daughter anyway.  She's adopted his child as well.

I don't know how I feel about this, but she was very, um, purposeful in her pursuit of a guy to function as a sperm donor.  She said she'd rather pick out the man herself than rely on a paper profile in an office. 
We were all a little bit aghast when she explained that she was going to choose "a tall guy with a Ph d and a successful research track record", but that's what she did.  Her daughter is beautiful, though, and their blended family seems to work.  [/quote]
