In this episode of Birth, Baby! Podcast, hosts Ciarra Morgan and Samantha Kelly engage in a heartfelt conversation with Sarah, a single mom by choice, who shares her inspiring journey into motherhood through fostering and adoption, and ultimately conceiving a child on her own. Sarah discusses her early desire to become a mother, her experiences as a foster parent, finding a sperm donor, and the challenges she faced during her pregnancy, including a high-risk delivery and NICU stay. The conversation highlights the importance of community, the emotional complexities of parenting, and the unique paths to motherhood.
Sarah Rosenbach is a 32-year-old single solo mom by choice. She has two beautiful sons, ages 4 and 15 months, who are her world, and they live near Austin, Texas. Sarah was born and raised in Colorado on a farm by a very strong and successful single mom. She moved to Texas to finish college, and in the process of earning her degree, she met friends in Texas who became family. She likes to spend her free time with her kids and friends down at the lake and enjoying the sunshine.
