We've talked previously about what a support system is for, and why single moms need it especially.
We've also previously mentioned online national forums, such as Jane's Single Mothers By Choice forums, or Mikki's Choice Mom forums and resources.
I've recently also found an online forum for specifically Vancouver (BC) based single mothers, or those thinking about it. The group is friendly, and taking applications to join via the yahoo group forums.
The yahoo group is called "SMCVAN", and features both adoptive mothers and donor mothers; running at over a hundred members, I would recommend this as a great community to ask questions of, and to check local experiences of fertility clinics here. I found the yahoo group active, friendly and fairly quick to respond to membership requests. To find it, do a search on yahoo groups for SMCVAN, and apply for membership.
Once you give birth, more options open up.
Vancouver "Twins and More!" has a meetup every month for mothers of mutiples.Over fifty parents are regularly involved.
Richmond and Delta have it's own group for multiples, that doesn't have a web presence at the moment:
Richmond/Delta Parents of Twins & Triplets Club
Serving Richmond
4780 Duncliffe Rd
Richmond BC Canada V7E 3N1
604-271-8348
There is also a Vancouver Single Parents Activity Group available. Note that this is not specifically for Choice Moms, but a good social resource for getting to know other single parents in the community. At the time of this blog being published, there were over five hundred single parents involved in this meetup group. Dues are five dollars a year, and you must be an active participant to stay in the group.
