Family Reimagined with American Broadcaster Richelle Carey

Richelle’s story starts with the emotional process of choosing the SMBC path and takes us through egg freezing, IVF, and ultimately the practicalities of adopting a child as a single mother based overseas. Her journey highlights the importance of prioritizing our own dreams and health while remaining open to the many ways a family can be formed.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Richelle’s realization that waiting for the “perfect” partner to start her family was holding her back;
• The decision to freeze her eggs at 42 and later pursue IVF at 46;
• Why she wasn’t attached to the idea of biological parenthood and how she transitioned to adoption;
• The process of adopting as a single woman, including the role of an adoption consultant;
• How matching baby and adoptive parent works;
• Common concerns women face when considering adoption, such as bonding with their child;
• Talking to our kids about their origin story;
• How prioritizing personal health helps us show up as better parents;
• The consideration of having a second child as a single mother by choice;
• The empowering realization that solo moms can do “big things” and do them well;
• And more!
