Following on from my earlier post regarding IVF treatment and women wanting babies later, lets discuss single mums.

Now I hate the fact that there’s always a stigma surrounding the phrase “single mum”. There is absolutely nothing wrong or embarrassing about being an independent parent. I’m not going to look into the daddies leaving, no, I want to look at all these woman who are choosing sperm donation as a parenting option. As I said earlier, these days many woman are career driven therefore either don’t have time for love, or are simply not looking for love. Eventually one day when they have reached success in their field of work they begin looking for love in their life. This doesn’t mean a man (or woman) for some ladies. A lot of mature aged woman just want a baby. No daddy. Luckily for these kinds of women there are options, sperm donors being one. In addition to this, you can even freeze your eggs, so that they stay fertile whilst you don’t.

I can see the pros and cons of this kind of conception. On the one hand, I’m so glad woman have the opportunity to have their own child whenever they like. On the other, I find it extremely unfair to raise a child knowing they may never meet their father. I couldn’t live with something like that over my conscious.
