[quote=Anonymous]I also became a single mom by choice in my 30s.  The men I dated were nowhere near the commitment stage that i had been in since my mid-20s.   I joined my SMC local group when I was in the "thinking stage", and  I  have had a very tight group of SMC friends these past 11 years.  I have never paid for babysitting, ever.  We all trade with each other.  We  understand finances and try to help each other out the best we can.

I now have an 8 year old daughter whom I cannot imagine living without  My own parents were hesitant for me but like most grandparents they want the best for their kids and grandkids and they brag about me doing it all myself :-)  I did not tell them until I was 4 months pregnant and safely on my way.  I was 33 when I delivered.

I see so many of my non-SMC friends in their 30s  and 40s aching for a family, some of them really losing  hope as the men come and go.  I highly suggest finding a local group and getting your finances  and life in order ASAP and then gong for it.  One thing I did in planning stage was get a housemate --sometimes 2.  It was not my first choice  but wow did I have money saved up  for when I was ready.  I know many other single moms who did this, and/or take on a 2nd job.  It is not forever, it is until you are ready to conceive / adopt your baby.

If you have a local SNC group -- or join the national organization -- you will find out all sorts of hints to becoming a mom when your "first plan" is not working out.  [/quote]
