Sperm Donor...people's thoughts

For as long as I can remember I have always dreamed of becoming a mother one day and having a family of my own, similar to the great family I grew up in. However, at the age of 32 (33 in a few weeks) and no man insight, those dreams are rapidly slipping away from me and I'm all to aware of my ticking biological clock.
I'm gradually watching all my friends get married and start their own family's and it's impossible to say that I don't feel a pang of sadness inside, Every time I hear their news. Of course I am thrilled for them and wouldn't wish them anything but happiness, but it leaves me questioning what's so wrong with me? and what my future holds....

Anyway, a few people started to say that I want a child then I don't need a man and I could do it alone and use a donor. I know this is a very personal question and every id will have their own opinion, but I just wondered what people's views on it are...

You shouldn't measure your self worth on whether or not you are in a relationship. Believe me, I know. I am dealing with the desire to have kids, though I know I most likely won't have any. I also know what it feels like to see everyone around you going off and getting married and starting families. It's all I used to think about, until I was completely consumed. Not healthy. I guess I snapped out of it when I realized how much compromising one does while in a relationship and how free I am being single. Anyways, I guess I am being a bit selfish, but that's what I like, my space.

I guess if you are serious about being a single mom through a sperm donor I would make sure you can handle the responsibility financially and emotionally. It's a huge desicion and one to not take lightly. You aren't buying a pair of shoes after all.

I don't judge . The doctor I know is a single mom by choice and an amazing mom

My views on this is that you shouldn't worry about other people's views

There are such a different variety of different family set ups and I think what is important is that a child is wanted and raised with love, positive attention and consistency - that is what matters.
