Educating Yourself
After we make the decision to take motherhood under our own control, we can feel at the mercy of the sperm banks and doctors and donors who can help us make it happen.
But we are, as part of a large community of single women making these choices, also entitled to our own values, preferences and decisions about how to proceed.
In this section, we will look at the factors that we should consider when:
- choosing a doctor
- choosing a sperm bank
- choosing a donor
- negotiating with a known donor
As always, education about what is available, and honest exploration of the pros and cons, gives us more strength and awareness in making the decision that is right for each one of us and our children.
