Single Mothers by Choice – Jane Mattes
Many women reach a point in their lives when they want to become mothers but have not found a partner with whom to raise a child. For a growing number, the answer is to choose motherhood on their own.
In Single Mothers by Choice: A Guidebook for Single Women Who Are Considering or Have Chosen Motherhood, psychotherapist Jane Mattes, herself a single mother by choice and the founder of the organization Single Mothers by Choice, offers practical guidance and emotional support for women considering this path or already on it.
Mattes discusses the decision-making process in depth, helping readers consider their motivations, readiness, finances, support networks and career demands. She explains the different routes to motherhood, including donor insemination, adoption and other options, and the issues that come with each. She then turns to life as a single mother, addressing topics such as childcare, work-life balance, dating and relationships, and how to talk with children about their origins and family.
Drawing on the experiences of many women in the organization, the book includes real stories and practical advice, acknowledging both the joys and the challenges of raising a child alone.
Warm, honest and supportive, Single Mothers by Choice is a valuable resource for women thinking about becoming mothers on their own, as well as for their families, friends and the professionals who support them.
