Single Mother Survival Guide

In this episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast, Julia chats with Adele Nowakowska. Adele is a single mother by choice, and went down the IVF route in 2012 using a sperm donor, which resulted in her son being born in 2013. On the show she openly shares her journey and experience with us. 

We discuss why she chose to be a single mother by choice, the process of choosing a suitable donor, the IVF process, costs involved, legalities regarding anonymity, the reaction of her friends, family and colleagues, challenges she's encountered, and advantages discovered. She also offers her advice for anyone thinking of traveling down this path.
