| I been googling restlessly for single fathers of infants and found this thread. my hope sof a child fixing our troubled marriage r doomed but I am happy I have a child. My wife who'se currently breast feeding our 5 month old wants to leave to make a life on her own. Although in midst of the fight and nto wanting to loose the baby at anycost, we settled on me keeping the baby and she leaving us. am recklessly looking for sources on how to care for my 5 month old. I need to work full time what are my options. LIve in Nanny? Convents that care for infants during day? Can we buy breast milk? How does the transition from breastmilk to formula work? So many practical things to worry about!! Munro , I really envy you and I had same thoughts about you till my wife didnt even ask for the baby once and gave it up so easily to walk out to lead "Her own life". No matter what I love my kid like always may be more now cos am the only one left. rest, single parents, pls suggest sources. |

| Good luck if you decide to do it. Im a single mum and always have been my son is nearly 3 and never met his dad (his dads choice). Its bl**dy hard but soooo rewarding. Why should it be just woman who do it men are quite capable and sounds like you are committed to it. So go for it!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Good luck Buddy. I am a single Mum now, not by chice initially(I am divorced) But can say parenthood is one of the most rewarding experiences in life. My child is a well balanced and beautiful person who excels in everything she does. It can be done. And the relationship is all the more special as you are so close. That being said I have developed a great group around me who provide support for me, social contact for her, and great role models for her to aspire to. Being a single parent can be a bit isolating if you let it. But take steps to counter this and you should be fine :) As to how to actually get a baby, surrogacy or adoption seem to be the only options I can think of, and you could try fostering to see if this whole idea is still OK with you. Hmmm why not see a society like family planning, or your local community centre I know they don't normally deal with your exact issue, but they may be able point you in the right direction. Just a thought. |

| munro - get with the times!!! devorse rate is in the 50% range. im a single mum of 2 and i chose this life. i have a perfect life and my kids are perfect in every way. how dare you say that stuff.... you must have a very negative outlook on life and/or depressed issues.... i feel sorry for you!!!!!! maybe you chose the wrong life... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I am a single mum of two beautiful boys 7yrs and 2yrs. my youngest son has been very sick since he was 4 months old and my eldest son is very smart for his age. I chose to have my life this way i prefer to be a single mum and i have so much fun. i love my kids and would move heaven on earth for them. my boys don't go without anything they are given more love and support then they can handle. So nothing is stopping you from being a single parent if that is what you want. ive had everything thrown at me and lots of issues but i would not change a thing there is nothing better then bringing up kids, its ment to be fun, exciting, amazing not a burdon, hassel and hard as some may say. have fun | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Have you considered becoming a foster parent to nurture your need to become a parent. While they may not stay with you long, The difference you could make to a child or children that are in need of a father's love and care could last a lifetime. : ) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| [[The basic right of a child is to be brought into the world and grow up with a mother and father (exception in the case of a lost parent by early death)]] Munro... are you like 80 yrs old or something? Or just not living in the real world??? How very judgmental to say something so horrible. Many single mothers in this world do not choose to be single mothers, but that is not to say the child is not loved and cherished as much as a child who has a full time dad... Obviously you came from a "peaches and cream" family with a full time Mum and Dad. My Dad was around about 3% of the time, then my parents finally got divorced when I was around 11. I swear to god - this was the best thing that happened in my life! And you know what??? I am very normal..! Yes - happy, married, son of my own, mortgage - and all that "normal" stuff... I think your response was really one sided... Single Mums or Dads should be treated just as any other parents - cause after all - that's what they are - LOVING PARENTS. |

| Hi danieljoe I am 30 as well and my son is now 6 being a single parent is very hard but also so rewarding i did not choose this life for myself my husband left me when i was 2 months pregnant. It is very hard work, i would love more kids and am having trouble finding a guy so i am thinking long and hard about having another on my own. I know i can handle it on my own as i am a good mum to my son, but i also need to look at the financial side of things, can i afford to scale back work etc.. I wish you all the luck in the world but encourage you to look at all aspects as it is a very big decision. All the best. |

| Very judgemental Munro!!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Keep looking for a life long partner. Please don't bring a child into the world that is done in the form of an experiment to prove that you can father a child. The basic right of a child is to be brought into the world and grow up with a mother and father (exception in the case of a lost parent by early death) and go into the world with that solid support. It is so wrong to see a d hear a single person say "i want a child" and expect a reaction in a test tube and a "womb for rent" to provide this child. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I am 30 years old and yes still single, haven't had much luck with women so been thinking to take the journey of becoming dad on my own. I have researched for quite a few years what it is like being a single parent and have determined that I can raise a child by myself and Yes! I will be a great dad. The problem now is how to have a child as being single, I can't adopt and to be honest I will prefer my own genes carrier. I have thought about surrogate option but the $$$ attached to it freaks me out. I am still finding out how this it is possible to have my own child. Any suggestions or ideas will be of great assistance and much appreciation. |
