This honest conversation with Mary Pols, author of Accidentally on Purpose,
explores the emotions of a 39-year-old woman who unexpectedly found
herself pregnant from a one-night stand. We talk about the reasons
she had never wanted to become a Choice Mom -- and how grateful she
is that it happened that way, despite her lack of planning, her
lack of savings, and her formerly deep-seated belief that she
needed a partner to complete her. We also discussed the
co-parenting role she has worked out with her son's father.
We explore why Choice Moms need more role models in the public eye
to help women realize that having a child can become a role even
more fulfilling than being a wife.
