[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did I miss it or did the article totally fail to mention educated women adopting on their own or having sperm donors? It's taboo to talk about, but this is going on in my family and several of my friends' families and too many women are doing this without a village. They do it older, the parents may be elderly, there many be some estrangements and people burn out from helping so much knowing there will be no reciprocation. And. it's so taboo to say because we are supposed to think an well educated woman must be far superior as a mother to say a woman without a college degree or a teen who became pregnant and is raising the kid in a family system where the grandparents are willing to do a lot. And my friend's sister who likes to brag that she has it all as a single mom by choice who is a partner in a law firm leaves out the accolades for her amazing nannies and the family members who finally burned out helping her because she felt as a single mom everyone owed her.[/quote]

Yes the research says educated women with resources have kids who just as well.

The opinion piece compares happily married couples (excluding unhappy/poor/abuse) and compare it to poor single women.[/quote]
