Welcome to our worldwide community!
For more than seven years I've been communicating with single women in a variety of countries who are choosing to build a family on their own. I'm very happy that we are finding more opportunities to connect with each other, on this website and in face-to-face events, for support, information and just plain networking.
Use this website to find podcasts, blogs and resources about any of the topics that interest you. Use the five Stages tabs above to pursue posts that might interest you, whether you are a Thinker or are Being a Choice Mom. Every day I add material to the website, and Choice Moms are contributing insights in the Comments field that follows each post.
Here are just a few of the themes you'll find as you explore the keywords here at ChoiceMoms.org:
- How do our kids do, in a fatherless, single-parent home?
- What do you need to know about your fertility, including resources for at-home insemination
- Methods to motherhood: 1. understanding the donor conception process, 2. working with a known donor, 3. pursuing adoption
- Stories of women who have made this choice
- Strategies for surviving 1. the two-week wait, 2. newborn baby boot camp, 3. single parenting
- Money matters, including legal and financial insight from experts
- Telling and talking, to our children and others, about this choice
- Relieving stress: 1. building a support network, 2. organizational tips and holistic wisdom, and 3. dealing with our emotions about this choice
Don't miss the important information on the bottom of this page as well. Including:
- the growing list of regional resource guides I'm developing for women in a variety of cities in the U.S., Canada and Europe,
