I have terrible taste in men.
But whenever I pictured my future, I saw myself with children -- and that, of course, takes a man (at least for the conception part). So sometime in my early 30s, I began a quest to find a partner. I did the online dating thing. I asked friends about their single pals. I even dated my butcher, figuring at least we'd never go hungry. But the men I met, maybe I'm too picky, but nobody satisfied. So I decided that if I didn't meet someone by the time I was 35, I'd have kids on my own.
Thirty-five came a lot quicker than I imagined, but I had a good job, so money wouldn't be an issue, and figured I could deal with the details as they came up. I told a few close friends for support -- my parents are doubters, always asking, "Why would you want to do that?" so I left them out of it -- and I started my journey.
I began by talking to my gynecologist, who told me to wait and meet someone. I phoned a group called Single Mothers by Choice, who suggested I come and talk with other thinkers. But I'm not a meeting type of girl, so I found another doctor, one who did inseminations. After waiting six months for an appointment, I explained my situation; he looked rather appalled and said he didn't perform that procedure for single women. Thirty-five was on its way out as quickly as it had arrived.

I read this and all I can think is "I WANT, I WANT, ME ME ME ME, I WANT, I WANT."
Lesson to young women: go the traditional route. It's a lot easier, and you don't have to do any explaining.
"People ask how I'll explain to him that he doesn't have a father. I'll tell him that I wanted him so much, I was able to bend tradition. I'll tell him that I have enough love for both a mommy and a daddy, and that he opened my eyes to the world and let me see the wonder of it again."
Why not just tell him the truth, Nancy? "Your Mommy is a self-absorbed ninny, and your daddy was a turkey baster."
This one has ISSUES:
"Finally, I hit the yellow pages. I looked under "Sperm Banks" and found one in the Empire State Building -- my most favorite place on the planet. Clearly this was meant to be. I went to the clinic and looked through its list of donors and their descriptions. What was I looking for? Eye color? Hair color? Height? Aha! Since no one in my family is over 5'7", I decided to give this child a chance. My donor would have to be tall. Then I thought about what I wished I could do. I'm basically tone-deaf, so I looked for men who majored in music at college, figuring that would guarantee some sort of musicality. I was full of confidence."
I wonder what she does take seriously. Certainly not this.
Yes it is all about her.
It is a FACT that a child NEEDS a REAL Dad too!
This is an utterly selfish female. I pity her son.
Another gay heroin addict is born...CHILDREN NEED A MOTHER AND FATHER!
Sounds like you would rather handle horsesh*t than a man. Well, doll, if you're wondering why you have a hard time getting a guy to stick around, start here.
This woman needed a pet. Raising a child with minimum guilt feelings is a total handful for a normal couple!
What a selfish women.
I can't speak for girls, but I know boys who have a good father have a massive advantage over boys who grow up in a single mom households.
Mothers try but they can't replace a good father for a boy.
How utterly tragic.
With no picture accompanying the article, I believe it is safe to assume she is not an attractive women.
If some of these products of these self-absorbed creatures give in to their rage and murder these women some day, I would have a hard time convicting them. What a cold witch this is!
The picture that accompanies the article does not look like a 40+ woman. The baby is cute though.
The picture with the article is not the women or it would be captioned as such.
I could understand her desire for a child. But, there are other options like adoption.
However, in defense of women, what about all those father who don't pay child support and visit their children? They are a lot worse than a woman who wants to be a mother.
Thank you.
I wonder how many abortions she had before she decided she wanted to have a baby?
It's all about me, It's all about me,
Adoption is not an option. It takes forever and is very expensive.
Three months after the birth, she will be looking around asking "So, who is going to take care of this thing? What about MY needs?"
