[quote=Anonymous]If you really know in your soul you want to be a parent and have the resources, mentally, physically and financially to go for it, become a single mom by choice! Get yourself to a sperm bank. At least have the conversation with a clinic. I am a midwife, and have had the opportunity to support a good number of women who made this choice. They are all for the most part thriving, with the exhaustion and stress that comes with parenting for many in a relationship or not. A few are actual friends in real life with me and would say their only regret is that they didn’t make the choice to have a baby sooner as they hope to be around for that many more years to watch their kids grow. These are mother with kids ranging from infant to high school senior (one of the first I worked with!).

Meanwhile, I have one life long friend that did not have the marriage she wanted to bring a child into, and felt he would have made a terrible co-parent. They divorced and she wasn’t ready to pull the trigger right away on going it solo. She is now past the baby years (We’re in menopause at this point.) and she still mourns not having had the opportunity to be a parent. Plenty of people do not want to be and should not be parents…but if in your heart of hearts you do, make the leap![/quote]
