Hi - I'm new to this group. My daughter is 2.4 months, very verbal, and is fully asking about "daddy" and seems so sad not to have one. I certainly knew this would come up -- but 2 seems pretty young to have such intense feelings about it. I am involved with a single mothers by choice group, but not many people have these issues at this young age.
Any feedback would be great - thanks.

Hi,
Torrie, My daughter is 4 months....Let me just say that you are awesome! Sometimes, I do feel guilty, but it will be okay. At two months, your daughter asks about daddy, wow! Just be patient with her and be the best mom you can be. Do you have a male role model around? |

hi -
thanks for the replies -- my daughter is 2 years and 4 months! That would be scary if at two months she knew how to ask for Daddy.
I'm also a Single Mother by Choice -- there is no dad. That's the hard part.
she truly doesn't have one. She's a donor baby. There are so many women
out there we interact with in the same situations but still, it's hard.
thanks |

Torrie,
I understand, I am also a single-mom-by choice, donor baby, my daughter's father is a known donor. I have all the same concerns, but like Jodie said, we can probably do better for them than other types of families. Keep your head up. |

yes -- head up. And, I must focus on the fact that she is a happy, healthy kid who is clearly well adjusted and thriving. Plus, keeping her and myself involved with other SMC parents will help us all.

start by looking into the Single Mother by Choice organizations which are local and in all cities worldwide. Then you'll meet people and find other people thru them.
try looking it up on-line and if you're in LA i can help.
