[quote=Anonymous]This organization has great resources to people making this difficult decision. https://www.singlemothersbychoice.org/ When I was a "thinker" (one of their categories of members= people who are thinking about becoming a single parent but have not decided yet) I went to local SMC meetings. It was great to meet other women deciding what to do. They had speakers, like a lawyer who discussed wills/guardianship, etc. Then when I became a parent, I could learn from others who had done it by themselves We went to playdates at each other's houses, trips to the zoo, etc. Note that my daughter is now 20 and I cannot imagine my life without her. Becoming a parent was the best (and scariest) decision I ever made. If you adopt, like I did, the agency/social worker carries out an in-depth study to ensure that you are up to the task (medically, psychologically, financially,i etc). That is one real advantage, for the child, over coming into a family through birth. [/quote]
