Building your family

Choosing Single Motherhood


Listen Later

This week's guest, Kristin Duncan, shares her thoughts about being a single mom by choice, the difficulties for single women in fertility treatment, and much more.  

Here are a few of the topics Kristin discusses in this week’s episode:

• how important it is to advocate for yourself at your fertility clinic

• why being a single mom is not as "difficult" as people think
• how remembering that "things change" can be so helpful
• not to limit your dreams, even when they do seem insurmountable
• disclosure issues
• connecting with donor-conceived siblings and other people who used the same donor

Whether you are a fertility patient looking for community or insights, or a member of the industry curious about single motherhood, you will gain a lot from Kristin's insight in this episode.

Sending warmth and good wishes your way! 

Lisa
