News that a woman had a baby boy with a 20 year old implanted embryo made Fox TV wonder, are men not needed anymore? Indeed, more women are having babies on their own. This started over twenty years ago, when I was likely the first to write about “Single Mothers By Choice” – women having a baby without getting married. That was even the name of groups for women to get together and share the experience. The choice empowers women to have a family without having to find a man. That part is good. They just need to be prepared to have support, like for childcare, and also financial resources. Research shows that the children can grow up adjusted; it’s helpful if they have some male role models, like an uncle or cousin. .See more of the interview by going to Fox TV5 TV website.
