“The clock was ticking and the boyfriends weren’t clicking.” It’s a quote from one of the moms profiled in the video clip below that rather tidily sums up why more and more women have decided to embark on motherhood on their own. Via artificial insemination and adoption, aspiring moms-to-be are deciding to move ahead with their plans to become parents without waiting to meet suitable mates. Despite both the challenges of single parenting and the threat of the stigma from portions of society that may be slow to accept such a choice, many women see single motherhood as their most viable option.
