Support from city to city

I have updated our list of support network coordinators in various cities, to help women find each other at a local level. If there is not a coordinator listed in your area, please offer to be a liaison via Comments or to info @ ChoiceMoms.org and I'll add you to the list.

Large upcoming event!

I'm sorry for my ongoing absence from updating this website. I'm in the process of a major re-haul that will be great! Also... it's time to announce the large San Francisco area event now in process for the weekend of July 27.

How Common Is Donor Conception?

A new Thinker wrote to one of the discussion boards with a concern that her eventual child might someday feel like "a freak of nature" as a donor-conceived child.

Next up: San Francisco Bay Area

We're still working out details, but I'm collaborating with fertility, sperm and LGBTQ partners for a Choice Mom networking weekend -- with fertility, sperm and legal experts, and panel discussions for Thinkers/Tryers and Moms -- in the Bay Area. The most Choice Mom-specific event will be held the afternoon of Saturday, July 27 (NEW DATE: too many conflicts with previous dates). Stay tuned!

I just found your website - thank you! This is what I've been looking for! ~ Mary

What do you need?

Since 2003, I've been communicating with single women in many 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, thanks to our great list of sponsors.

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. And don't miss the important Resources, Events and Regional Guides in the menus above.

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

Your host,
Mikki Morrissette, Founder, Choice Moms ®
(and yes, that's me, the budding homemaker at age six)
