Solo parenting options?

.Hi all, I’m new here and hoping to get some advice or speak to others going through a similar thing to me 😊

I’m at a point in my life where I feel i'm at an ultimatum about having children. I’m unsure whether I want to have them or not, and feeling overwhelmed with this indecision and what to do. Just a bit about me, I’m 32 and single. I’ve researched around options for having children whether it be through getting pregnant myself with ivf/iui/sperm donors, or adoption/fostering. But still not able to get much closer to a decision on this :-/

In relation to adoption, I’m mindful that being a single mother may not stand me with a good chance of adopting and it may not be considered as ‘an ideal option’ when compared with 2-parent families. Is that the case? Does anyone know the rules around this?

Has anyone been through/going through similar dilemmas? Has anyone found any ways to help them to reach a decision? Any tips/ideas/ advice would be much appreciated 😊
