Читать книгу David and Me: My path to solo motherhood - Esther Robinson - Страница 7

This is the very beginning of the story of my life with my son. In some ways it is an unconventional one; a tale of choosing solo motherhood, with all its painful and joyful twists and turns. But at its heart it simply recounts a mother’s love for her child; a love that has been replicated throughout time all over the world.

At the time of writing, the number of women seeking to be solo mums by choice is increasing significantly, and they are making the decision at an earlier stage of their lives than many have in the past. I have known of women in their twenties – as well as thirties and forties – who have acted on their desire to become solo mums and are currently pursuing treatment or already cradling their babes. Some have gone back for more and are the proud mummies of two or three (and possibly more) children.

If you are considering the solo route to motherhood, I hope my story answers some questions and, ultimately, inspires you on your journey. For others, may this simply be a tale from one of the many routes to motherhood that exist today.
