Today there are more and more single men who express their desire to become fathers. There are several options to fulfill this dream, from adoption, surrogacy or even co-parenting..
Today the concept of family has evolved a lot and we have left behind the classic idea of a marriage formed exclusively by a man and a woman with children. It is clear that without a female figure, the possibilities of becoming a father with a little more difficult, however there are some options available to men so that they can satisfy this desire..
Surrogacy consists of gestating the one who will be the child of another person in exchange for financial compensation. This practice is popularly known as "surrogacy". In general, there is usually no genetic link between the pregnant woman and the child and the process is usually carried out by in vitro fertilization.
The process of hiring a rental belly in Spain is not a legal practice, for this reason singles who want to be biological parents have to resort to doing it in other countries. Both the United States and Canada are two good options in terms of security and legality to carry out the entire process.
Co-parenting refers to the fact that a woman and a man (or two women and two men) share the upbringing of a child but without there being a loving relationship between them, that is, without the need for them to be a couple.
The options for this situation to occur are multiple. In the case that we deal with in this article, it is usually about single men who want to be parents and contact a woman who also wants to be a mother and together they decide to have a child who they will educate and raise both. This will require that the two adults share a series of values and ideas about the child's education. In addition to establishing what will be your place of residence, visits, schedules, maintenance, etc..
The practice of co-parenting is becoming more and more widespread and it is common to find women looking for a parenting partner through the internet.
Adoption is a legal practice in Spain, but the problem is that the waiting lists are usually very long. At the international level, the process can be streamlined but in some countries there may be some problems in granting adoption to a single man or a homosexual couple.
Obviously the first disadvantage is the exclusive dedication to the child (unless he has opted for co-parenting). For this reason, the single man will have to resort to hiring someone to take care of the child while he is working or have the help of family members..
Among the advantages we can point out that the father will be able to give the education that he considers most appropriate to his son without having to count on the opinion and beliefs of a couple. In fact, it is normal that after the birth of a child, arguments arise in a couple because they have different ideas about how parenting and education should be. Reproaches related to the lack of collaboration in the care of the child are also generalized.
As we can see, there are several options to be a single parent in Spain. It is not a simple process and all of them have their advantages and disadvantages. Luckily we cannot say that it is a practice and a completely impossible dream to realize..
