I am a single woman, teacher, bisexual, and I’ve always wanted to be a mom. The older I get I feel like I may not get that opportunity if I wait to find the right partner. I have so much love to give and know that I will do everything in my power to give that baby an amazing life full of love and surrounded by family. I grew up in a very religious home that taught intimate relationships are for a man and a woman, but that also taught that we love everyone no matter what they choose. I lived a huge part of my life making that I would never have a family. As I’ve grown up and learned about myself, I realized that I love who I love, gender didn’t mean a thing. Therapy helped me realize that there was nothing wrong, and helped me to except who I am unashamedly. My family also surprised me by excepting me and proving their unconditional love. Even though I haven’t found that person that I want to build a life with, I know I will someday. So being able to start that life with a child first, or finding the right person, I don’t think really matters. I want to be able to experience motherhood myself and I feel like now is the right time to pursue that. I hope that I can experience it before my age brings higher risk of complication.
