Can I have a lookup field on parent that looks up child records?

I have a parent/child of Contact with Education records...fine so far. I also want to have a field on the Contact that will allow the user to select one of those education records to logically "connect" to another field. I do the definition etc. but the filters I have tried don't seem to find any records. 

Is this relationship eVen possible? 
I would rather not do it through VF unless I have to. 

Any thoughts out there?

If its a parent child relationship between Contact and Edu records then the contact will only be able to have the EDU related list where you can choose the EDU it is connected to.The relationship you mentioned will not be possible.
