What about the Thousands of men, who are told they are to be fathers run! What about them, I didn't meet my father until I was sixteen because he was a coward. I didn't not appreciate feeling abandoned at least children with donor dads can say my dad chose to donate and my mom chose to inseminate tehy both chose. Neither of my parents chose and my mom was the only one who took FULL responsibility of the situation she was put in. I would rather choose to be a single mom, in my 30's educated and making good money then to be forced to raise a child by myself. Oh, and for those of you who say well abortion, why is killing a child so exceptible and making a child not. And, adoption have you ever tried to adopt? That is a economic issue in it's self!

When income and education are factored in, "substantially fewer differences arise between the intellectual development, academic achievement and behavior of children in single-parent and two-parent families," according to a 2004 study by Henry Ricciuti, professor emeritus of human development at Cornell. He looked at the adverse effects of single parenthood on 1,500 12- and 13-year-olds across the United States and found what mattered most to a child's well-being was not just two parents, but a mother's education and ability level. "It all comes down to the individual situation," says Sloan. "But for kids whose moms wanted them as badly as I did, chances are the decks are stacked in their favor." And Sloan intends to play the hand she's chosen with a sense of humor.
