I've had similar thoughts. But sometimes in a rather weird direction, in the 1 step removed role. I'd love to find a nice gay couple who'd want me to go through pregnancy and birth. (I'm kooky, I think want to experience that, but I don't want the responsibilty of raising a child at this point in my life, and possibly never) And then be an active part of the child's life in the crazy aunt manner. Not have custody, not be primary care giver, but be actively a part of the child's life and be among the 'trusted adults'.
