Support groups offer a structured environment where you can share experiences, learn from others, and feel less alone in what you’re carrying. These groups are designed to provide emotional support, thoughtful discussion, and a sense of community — without pressure to have everything figured out.
All support groups are held virtually and open to adults across North Carolina, making it easier to access connection and support from wherever you are.
Our groups support women across many stages of the Single Motherhood by Choice journey — from early consideration and planning to fertility treatment and parenting. Group offerings evolve throughout the year, and future groups are shaped by the needs of the community.
Currently Collecting Interest: Considering Solo Motherhood (North Carolina)
Planned Start: Spring 2026
This upcoming virtual support group is designed for women in the consideration and exploration phase of Single Motherhood by Choice.
This group may be a good fit if you are:
-
Thinking seriously about becoming a Single Mother by Choice
-
Exploring fertility clinics, donor options, and the steps in the process
-
Feeling emotionally overwhelmed, uncertain, or isolated while sorting through big decisions
-
Wanting a space to talk openly with others who genuinely understand this stage
This is a supportive, facilitated group focused on connection, shared experience, and feeling less alone. Participants will engage with others who “get it,” ask questions, and talk honestly about the emotional side of this decision — without pressure to have clarity or a plan right away.
The group is facilitated by Carrie Meckler, therapist and Single Mother by Choice, who brings both professional guidance and lived understanding to the space.
