Here is our Q&A of introduction, as well as a quick overview of what she will help Choice Moms build in the coming months.

1) When did you start on the Choice Mom path? I first decided at the age of 30 that if I got to 35 and wasn't with someone I would pursue choice motherhood. Ironically, a serious relationship ended just before my 35th birthday. My birthday present to myself for my 36th birthday was an appointment with my RE.

2) What were your biggest challenges/hurdles in the Thinking/Trying stage? Getting past that last relationship. We had some back and forth for a while. Literally the day after I ordered my first three vials of sperm, he contacted me and offered to be my donor. It gave me pause, but I realized that I couldn't trust him with my heart, let alone my child's.

3) What have been your greatest challenges and joys since becoming a Mom? Greatest joys: watching the miracles of all the big and little milestones -- first smile, first step, first time she sang a song to me. I still look at her in awe and amazement! Greatest challenges: doing it all alone. I have a great support system (I am truly blessed), but in the day to day there isn't anyone to take over bath time so I can get the dishes done. I also really wish there was someone to share the joyful moments. Sometimes I call my parents several times a day just to tell them something funny my daughter said or did.

4) What one piece of advice would you give women now? I knew only two things going into this -- that it would be harder than I was capable of imagining, and more wonderful than I was capable of imagining -- and I was right on both counts. My only regret is that I waited so long. I want more kids!

5) What kinds of resources are you helping us build for the Choice Mom community? I am working on e-guides for New York City and Washington DC areas. I am also helping to promote all of the amazing resources that are already available on ChoiceMoms.org, and working on expanding our base in Western PA.
