About Us

A trusted SMC resource directory built to make next steps easier.

The Solo Mom Project is an SMC resource directory, recommendation hub, and referral network for people exploring solo motherhood by choice, current solo moms, and the wider SMC community.

Our goal is simple: help people find better information, better options, and better starting points when they are making high-stakes decisions about family building, support, parenting, and life as a solo mom.

What we do

We connect community members to vetted resources, useful recommendations, and practical referral pathways across fertility, donor conception, parenting, support, and related services.

Who it is for

People asking early questions, making concrete plans, looking for support, or sharing what has actually helped in real solo motherhood journeys.

Why it matters

Solo motherhood decisions often combine emotional, financial, medical, and logistical complexity. Better curation lowers friction and makes decision-making less isolating.

Clear discovery

We organize the directory so people can move from broad questions to specific next steps without getting buried in noise.

Trusted referrals

We aim to make referrals more useful by surfacing practical context, editorial framing, and community-relevant signals.

Thoughtful curation

Resources are reviewed for relevance to the SMC community so the directory stays practical, credible, and easier to navigate.

Who We Serve

We are building for the real range of people who need an SMC resource directory, not just one stage of the journey.

  • People considering becoming single moms by choice
  • Current SMCs and solo moms
  • People navigating fertility, donor conception, or family-building decisions
  • Friends, professionals, and supporters helping the SMC community

What You Will Find Here

The directory is designed to support both exploration and action, whether someone is researching, comparing options, or looking for a recommendation they can trust.

  • Fertility clinics, donor banks, and family-building services
  • Support groups, communities, educators, and coaching resources
  • Mental health, parenting, legal, and financial guidance
  • Practical guides, tools, and organizations people recommend to one another

This is built to be useful, not just comprehensive.

The goal is not to list everything. The goal is to help people find relevant, trusted starting points and make it easier to move from research to action. If you know a resource that belongs here, we want to hear about it.
