Single Moms by Choice Pursuing Parenthood

SINGLE MOM BY CHOICE

Making the decision The decision to become a single mother by choice through sperm donation is a significant one. In considering whether (or when) to pursue this path, it can be helpful to evaluate readiness in relation to various aspects of your life. For instance, it is important to consider the time and energy that will be involved in raising a child and whether, amidst existing personal and professional commitments, goals, and priorities, you can (and want to) dedicate the round-the-clock commitment that parenting involves. Emotionally, it is important to reflect on your ability to handle the highs and the lows of parenting solo, including your ability to handle challenges independently and/or the practical and emotional support available to you. Your health, both physical and mental, is paramount, as parenthood takes stamina and can be one of the toughest (though ultimately rewarding) “jobs” you can sign up for!
