[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At 34, you still have time. But you have to prioritize dating. Like others have said, treat it like a part time job. I met my DH at 38 on OKCupid. Married at 40. Not going to lie, fertility has been an issue. But at 45, with Donor Eggs, I'm finally pregnant. But I have a great marriage to a man who is perfect for me. I didn't let the pressure of finding "any man" get to me. My life, even with fertility issues, is so much better and easier than my friends who have kids, but are either in bad marriages or divorced and co-parenting.

[b]Being a Single Mom by Choice is going to be 1,000 times harder than treating dating like a part time job. [/b] [/quote]

I  am a single adoptive mom who posted earlier. Yes,  of course, it is hard, but manageable, and we are very happy! In some ways duo-parenting is harder, as I make the decisions I want to make, there is no arguing with spouse about issues pertaining to children, etc. I wanted to control my destiny as much as possible, therefore, I persued adoption....I felt like I had less control over dating.[/quote]

I am single adoptive mom and it is hard and was un-mageable for me. I had to throw in the towel - not enough time and not enough money for babysitters.  I will try again when my child is older. [/quote]

I'm hoping that you mean dating was unmanageable and you threw the towel in on that...not on your child. [/quote]
