Building your family

I was a single mom by choice


Listen Later

Kat Curtin is the incoming President for Single Mother's By Choice.  She has big shoes to fill, but she will fill those shoes perfectly because Kat understands the journey personally and professionally. She runs a coaching practice, and has been a member of Single Mother's by Choice for years.  In her own life, she has undergone every kind of treatment you can imagine, including surrogacy and donor conception.  She has suffered through loss and has had to work multiple jobs to pay for her treatment. Now she is the happy mom of a beautiful little girl.

Why do I say Kat "was" a single mom? Because she is now happy in a committed relationship. She can dispel lots of myths about men not being interested in women who have children who were created with donor sperm, or that it's impossible to date when one has a toddler.

Kat has been thorough a lot, but she will tell you why it is all worth it.  So, if you are considering single parenthood, know someone who is considering single parenthood, or just need some inspiration for your journey, this will be a great episode for you.
