A growing number of women are choosing single motherhood by choice. Richelle Carey’s journey to motherhood began in her early 40’s. After a failed IVF cycle, she turned to adoption. That posed even more challenges, as she lived in Qatar as a network news anchor. To improve her chances, she quit her job and returned to her parents home in Texas. Now she’s a self described "boy mom" to her sweet son Avery.

In this episode Richelle candidly shares the ups and downs of her journey and answers the questions often only reserved for the group chat.
