I found this discussion group through a Google web search and then recognized your name and your book and felt it was a place I could trust, find support, and find answers. ~ Mary

Since 2003, I've been communicating with single women in a variety of countries who are choosing to build a family on their own. This website will help you find the podcasts, articles, resources and events specially designed for our Choice Mom community.

There are many ways to explore. Use the five Stages above to pursue posts that might interest you, from Thinking about to Being a Choice Mom. Trying is for those in the process of conception or adoption. Waiting is for those in the 2ww, or waiting for a placement or delivery. Becoming is for mothers of newborns.

Within those areas (or by the search engine above) you'll find the most common questions, concerns and issues of this journey, discussed by fellow Choice Moms and experts who support the Choice Mom community. Topics such as:

• Choice Kids -- how are they affected by donor conception, growing up without a father?
• Fertility Q&A -- a 12-step checklist for conceiving as a single woman, ovulation tips, dealing with miscarriage, fertility drugs, home insemination, IVF
• Using a donor: whether it's known sperm donor, anonymous sperm, egg donor, embryo donation, picking a sperm bank
• Adoption: -- foster, international, domestic, open-identity
• Choice Chat -- profiles of other Choice Moms on every stage of the journey
• Money Matters and legal issues
• Talking about this choice, to our children and others
• Emotions about this choice -- whether it's finding support, or dealing with stress

  Don't miss the important Resources (see top menu), including:
  

  • the ChoiceMoms.org discussion board,
  • expert advice in audio clips and podcasts
  • regional resource guides
  • my commentaries on the politics, logistics and emotions of this choice

  As always, welcome to the discussion and welcome to the journey.

  Your host,
