Becoming a single mom by choice

If you do decide you want children but your partner doesn't or you haven't met the right partner, one of the decisions you could be wrestling with is whether you want to become a single mother by choice.  The website Single Mothers by Choice  is a great resource for all those thinking about becoming a single mum by choice.

I often work with women who are just starting to consider this option.  It can be very difficult to contemplate it however because it often means giving up on the dream of having a child with a partner - this is particularly difficult if you have just finished a relationship with someone who doesn't want children.   It's important in the coaching to give space to mourning and acknowledging the sadness of letting go of this dream before moving on.
