[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I know it is none of my business, but I just want to be a good friend to see if I can be of any helps of any sort. My 2 kid are young (1 baby & 1 toddler), so I can be her emergency sitter backup/date night backup if needed. I can always share childcare knowledge/experiences since we live nearby.

She has good career & she earns decent money. Her family (live across the country) are rich, and there are many real estates, trusts & stocks are put under her name. She does not necessarily need to work for life but she wants to work to provide for herself. She has high education background, & her financial is definitely not a problem. I don't want to guess why she has not been in relationship, but I know that she is not willing to find any random guy to just get married. All I know is that if she wants, there's arranged marriage back home if she wants.

I'm sure she would be a wonderful mother because she has great caring character with great patience. She is good with kids. It is good to know that there's support groups out there, and I will pass her information. And, thanks pp of suggesting IUI because I only hear of ivf.  And, she only wants 1 kid only. Thank you![/quote]

OP, you are being a good firend. Put her in touch with a SMBC group. They will give her the best advice and help her build her tribe. I know at least five SMBingle moms by choice in NYC where I live and they all pitch in and support each other. None of them have family in the area and all of their kids are thriving. As a single mom in her 40s she might have better luck finding a partner, ironically -- there are a lot of divorced dads in their 40s+ who prefer single moms  (some view single women in their 40s who have never been in any relationships warily).[/quote]
