Feedback:
Adoption and artificial insemination are options for single women. Women who choose to have babies outside a committed relationship face the responsibilities and challenges of single parenthood. During the age of 30 to 40 years, women realize that they wish to have children now or it may soon be too late. Career goals and motherhood can conflict. An unmarried woman in her 30s may feel pressured to find the right father for the baby because life is passing her by.
