A Single Mom by Choice is a woman who has chosen to become a single mom by adoption, AI, IVF, or natural conception.

This forum is for women who are considering becoming SMC's, women who are currently trying to conceive, and Single Moms by Choice. This group covers topics from conception to parenting. It is a place to find information, support, friendship, and wisdom of women who have walked before us to make our decisions wisely.

This forum is not part of the national SMC organization founded by Jane Mattes. Please go to http://mattes.home.pipeline.com/ for information about their organization.

This is not a place for men.

It is a moderated group with rules of etiquette.
