Choice Moms: Growing Strong

Not only are single women who proactively choose motherhood growing in number, but we're turning to each other for support, advice and resources in innovative and empowering ways. This new website brings together some of the amazing information and communication tools available to the worldwide Choice Mom community.

What's New:

• May Hot Topic: Why we have every reason to be celebrating our Mother Journeys
  
• Choice Blogs:
  Thinking: Emily asks how single moms juggle work travel.
  Trying: Kathy finds inspiration after her miscarriage.
  Becoming: Cathi's last weeks of pregnancy. "My friends won't go to restaurants or movies or strip clubs with me anymore because I usually at some point loudly say, 'Ow, my vagina!', which is considered surprisingly inappropriate no matter where you are."
  ChoiceMoms: Have you ever heard of "divorce on foot?"
  
• The latest Choice Chat online radio shows (episodes 3 and 4): "Building our Families with Pride," with researcher Ken Daniels; "Knock Yourself Up" humor with author Louise Sloan
  
• Choice Q&A: What do I need to know about using a known donor?
  
• Sign up for the monthly Choice News update with the menu at right

Thanks so much for doing such an amazing job of organizing a wonderful community of incredible women and their kids! -- Liz

What else is on the site:

• Choice Q&A, the best tips and answers to the frequently asked questions of women who are thinking, trying, waiting, becoming and being Choice Moms
  
• Reading room of special books and resources particularly useful to the Choice Mom community, such as the new Choice Mom Guide to Fertility and the upcoming Choice Mom Guide to Adoption

We launched with a minimal website on February 1. There's much more planned. What's coming:

• Directories of singles- and lesbian-friendly fertility clinics, adoption agencies, sperm banks, estate lawyers and more
  
• Action alerts, when members of our community need help dealing with loss, unfair policies, or in celebrating great news!

As always, welcome to the discussion and the journey.
