I don’t obsess over Will not having a dad. It’s funny. You know what you know and since he’s never had one, this is our normal. Frankly, besides Father’s Day or when Will is doing something particularly annoying (which he couldn’t POSSIBLY have inherited from me), I don’t really think about his donor much. I’m beyond thankful for him but it’s just not a focal point.
People do ask me why I picked him in particular. In no order – this was why:
1. Someone else had used him and had had a healthy kid.
2. His family had no serious illness in their medical history.
3. He wasn’t a computer centric; logistic type.
4. He was cute.
That was pretty much it. I could have paid extra for the ‘Golden Sperm’ and got a doctor or an astrophysicist. But why? I wanted a baby. Would a swimmer from a rocket scientist be better than one from a glass-blower? I didn’t care to find out.
But silly me. I should have waited a few years and I could have had the sperm from a FAMOUS PERSON! That’s what they’re offering at famedaddy.com – go on…have a watch.
YES! I know…it’s a joke. Although – I didn’t until I watched this video. But go on…go take the quiz and find out who your celebrity baby daddy should be. Mine is Bono (huh? I said TALL. I’ve met him…dude is not tall). A few things here – a. how can people take this as real…it’s getting press coverage! The muppets would be more believable than these actors! b. If you want to get knocked up by a pro-sports player or a celeb, stop taking birth control and hang out in Miami or New York or even at TIFF.
Maybe just MAYBE if this wasn’t so over the top ridiculous, I’d be pissed off at the messaging that we women would be shallow enough to base our donor choice on the celeb factor…but that could be slightly hypocritical of me, since I did go for Will’s donors looks!
Regardless – let’s take it for what it is…a joke. And please, please tell me who your celeb baby daddy would be!!!

oh!! not who we wish??? oooops…now that I’ve done the quiz…I got Barack Obama too!
Jennifer M says
Too funny! I would choose Chris Martin of Coldplay. He’s tall, handsome, extremely talented and not a fame monger. That Gwyneth is a lucky lady!
Katya says
I got Bono too and I said I wanted height! Well, at least I didn’t end up with Prince!
Sonya says
OK now you’ve got me thinking….hmmmmm….it would have to be USHER!!!! but don’t tell my husband, although he might suspect that already.
Julie says
i guess you have a new sister now…me! we have the same daddy 🙂
so, that’s interesting you get to see pictures of the dad. i thought it would be more anonymous than that. but i suppose you almost have to see what you’re getting. from what i hear of people meeting their dates online the descriptions seem a little off.
anyway, if i had to do it i would NOT choose the brains. brains don’t do you any good when you need a shelf hung!
Raff says
Omg… mine is Barack Obama

Steve McGarrett – Hawaii 5-0….OMG I am terrible…
