Thank you Sarah for your kind words of encouragement. I have received nothing but support on this website from all the ladies... A person's desire to have a child is no greater or no less if single, married, partnered, or if one already has previous children! We can all have our own opinions on ART, who should be able to use it and who should not... But like I said, the desire to parent is not any more valid from one woman to another. I cannot speak for all single ladies ttc but deciding to become a single mum-to-be is not an easy decision. We do not wake up one day and think a baby would add to our lives... I have wanted to have a baby since I was 30 (I was finished w/ grad school, married, living in a nice home, etc...) When the marriage did not work out (he was not ready for kids) I figured another wonderful man would enter my life and we would marry and have children immediately... Fast forward five years, it did not happen. Not wanting to marry for the sake of having children within my biological window, the single mother by choice is the route I am on... So for those of you who are new to the term single mother by choice, you know a bit about me and my story and how I am where I am!
There are several of us on this forum, and we all love the friends we have made and the information we have learned. We receive support and encouragement from all the ladies, whether married or single or partnered!
