Need Advice: My 38-Year-Old Daughter Wants a Baby but Has No Partner

Hey everyone,

I really need some advice and support right now. My daughter, Alice, is 38 years old. She doesn’t have a family of her own or a husband, but she really wants to have a baby. I know time can’t be turned back, but I want to help her appreciate life as it is and find a way forward.

Alice has always been independent and focused on her career. She’s done so well for herself, but now she’s feeling the ticking of the biological clock and is worried she might miss out on motherhood. We’ve talked about it a lot, and she’s considering options like sperm donation or adoption, but it’s all so overwhelming.

I want to be there for her and support her decisions, but I’m also worried about the challenges she might face as a single mom. How can I help her navigate this? Should I encourage her to go for it, or should I help her explore other ways to find fulfillment?

Has anyone else been in a similar situation or know someone who has? What advice would you give to Alice? Any tips on how to handle the emotional and practical aspects of this journey would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best,

Robert
