Adopting as a single mum - Single motherhood by choice

In a blog post a few days ago, I looked at the difficult dilemma of when you want a child but your partner doesn't.  One option that women explore is deciding to have a child on their own as a single parent.   Often, women look at IVF on their own but more and more people are turning to adoption.

I'm a big fan of adoption although for many of my clients in this situation adoption feels like a very difficult step  And the process of adoption in general (not even just for single parents) can feel very off-putting and difficult.  This article talks to a number of women who have adopted for adoption as a single parent and explored the positives and the challenges of doing so.
