Since 1990 there has been a remarkable increase in the number of families headed by single mothers. An increasing number of successful, single, and well-educated professional women in their 30's and 40's are choosing to have a family through adoption. A very challenging yet rewarding choice.

Single women often pursue motherhood because of the need and desire to love and nurture a child of their own. However, the single woman faces the difficult process and costs of adoption, raising her child on her own.
