First contact the FGEC.
Then think about what you want. In the post, you don't even say that you want children.
I don't have children for about 6 or 7 reasons that I worked out before my bipolar manifested. I didn't want children before bipolar and certainly did not want them after.
Its your choice.
Whatever you decide, communicate this to your life partner before you are committed to each other.
