Welcome to Single Mothers by Choice!

Whether you are just beginning to consider the possibility of becoming a single mother, are trying to adopt or conceive, or are already a single mother by choice, we can provide you with information, resources, and the opportunity to create a unique virtual and local support network of your peers.

Single Mothers by Choice (SMC) was founded in 1981 by Jane Mattes, L.C.S.W., a psychotherapist and single mother by choice. Thousands of single women, predominantly in their thirties and forties, have joined us since that time and remain with us as they strive to be the best parents they can be.

Our primary purpose is to provide support and information to single women who are considering, or have chosen, single motherhood. Our members meet with one another all over the United States, and in Canada, Europe, and beyond. We network with each other and share information and resources about donor insemination, adoption, and parenting at local levels and/or through our lively online discussion forum and newsletters.

So it’s going to be one of THOSE days…
Posted on by smc

when all I can do is think about how amazingly happy and fulfilled I am right now.  You thought I was going to bitch and moan, huh? Nope.  I have never been so happy in my entire life.  EVER.  I love LOVE love being Eddie’s mom.  He’s just so amazingly adorable and every morning when it’s time to get him from his crib, I feel like my day can really begin (and I complain about it being too early but shhh… I really don’t mind getting an extra 1/2 hour with him because he woke at 4:30 am).

When he smiles at me or does something new, I am so proud to call him MY SON.  He’s just made every day worth living.  I’ve had some regrets in my past but this decision to have a baby on my own will never be one of them!
