A Single Woman's Courageous Choice

At 38, corporate lawyer Jessica found herself yearning for motherhood despite being single. "I didn't want to wait for the right partner to miss my chance at being a mom," she explained. Gifted Conceptions helped her navigate donor sperm selection and timed intrauterine insemination (IUI). After two attempts, Jessica's pregnancy test glowed positive—only for her to develop severe morning sickness requiring hospitalization. "There were days I questioned everything," she admitted. But on July 14th, baby Lucas arrived, his tight grip around Jessica's finger erasing all doubts. Now she leads a support group for single mothers by choice, sharing how "family isn't about having two parents—it's about having enough love."
