We regularly profile inspiring “later” moms on our site and in our newsletter, so we invite you to visit frequently to read their interviews. We also feature articles written by later moms in our newsletter and blog. We’d love to hear from you if you’d like to contribute your personal story or expertise. Drop a note to robin@motherhoodlater.com.  Featured Mom, September 2010: Dr. Jenn Berman " I don’t really think of myself as a later mom, just a mom. It was really important to me that I be established in my career before I became a parent..."Read more about Jenn Berman...  Featured Mom, August 2010: Aliza Sherman " I wasn't in a hurry to get married. I was focused on my work, and it wasn't until I was in my late 30s that I met and fell in love with a wonderful man and got married. Then I lost my first three pregnancies, spending over two years in the emotional, physical and medical labyrinth of miscarriage..."Read more about Aliza Sherman...  Featured Mom, July 2010: Dana Wood " I consider myself an “accidental mommy.” Not because of a lack of birth control, but rather just because I simply didn’t get married until I was 40. For me, finding a life partner seemed like a big-enough hurdle; I really wasn’t thinking about much beyond that..." Featured Mom, June 2010: Lori Beneyton " I didn't get married until I was 39, and had always wanted to face parenthood with a partner. We tried to get pregnant immediately, but after about a year of trying and a couple of early miscarriages, we had a fertility workup and discovered my husband had a balanced chromosomal translocation..."Read more about Lori Beneyton...  Featured Mom, May 2010: Terrie Williams " I met Roc when he was sixteen and I was 39. I was organizing a mentoring program for young men at the time, and his family life was so full of insurmountable challenges that I took him in and supported him through college. He had such a powerful life force and I felt connected to him almost immediately..."Read more about Terrie Williams...  Featured Mom, April 2010: Mary Carlomagno " My decision to settle down with a family is a direct result of being a career driven person who put work above most everything else. I loved the single life and my independence and really enjoyed travel and taking care of myself..."Read more about Mary Carlomagno...  Featured Mom, March 2010: Dani Shapiro " I didn't think of myself as becoming a mother late in life, mostly because I lived at the time in New York City, where it seemed everyone was having babies in their late thirties and early forties. I was thirty-six years old and recently married when the desire to have a child hit me over the head..."Read more about Dani Shapiro...  Featured Mom, February 2010: Cory Kahaney " You know it's not my nature to be sappy but I did it for love. My husband had never had children in his first marriage (we were both divorced when we met). Now when I say I did it for love, we're talking L-O-V-E..."Read more about Cory Kahaney...  Featured Mom, January 2010: Susie Essman " I never wanted kids. I didn’t not want them, but I didn’t actively want them. Certainly not enough to become a single mother as a few friends had done. I hadn’t met anyone who I wanted to marry and begin a family with and wasn’t willing to pick some guy to marry just so he could be a donor..."Read more about Susie Essman...  Featured Mom, December 2009: Vicki Abelson " I was career driven in my twenties and most of my thirties-–an actress / comedian, then a rock n' roll promoter and publicist. The hours and the lifestyle did not lend itself to motherhood..."Read more about Vicki Abelson...  Featured Mom, November 2009: Rachel Loshak " I never felt ready to have children any sooner, in my relationship with Morgan, in my career or in my own sense of self..."Read more about Rachel Loshak...  Featured Mom, October 2009: Marissa Jaret Winokur " I was diagnosed with cancer at age 27 and got married at age 33 so with these circumstances in place, it just ended up being the right time for me! I feel like anytime is a good time to have a child, its all about when the parents are ready for the huge lifestyle change..."Read more about Marissa Jaret Winokur...  Featured Mom, September 2009: Candi Carter "" I had my first child at 33 years old. I was young and excited to bring a new baby into the world. After a completely uneventful pregnancy, my son was born with several physical issues including open-heart surgery at 10 months old..."Read more about Candi Carter...  Featured Mom, August 2009: Janice Lieberman " I had a great professional life and found myself without a husband or children. It seemed like I had been trying to attain all that but wasn't going about it the right way. I quickly got engaged, married and went for help trying to conceive..."Read more about Janice Lieberman...  Featured Mom, July 2009: Carol Leifer " I thought that I would never have children but motherhood really became a calling to my partner, Lori, after being together for ten years. I saw how very important it was to her, so we became parents at ages much older than women normally do. Lori was 43 and I was 50..."Read more about Carol Leifer...  Featured Mom, June 2009: Emma Walton Hamilton " I've been a bit of a late bloomer all my life. My husband and I were both busy pursuing careers in the theatre when we met, and I was 28 by the time we got married. That same year, we decided to relocate and start our own theatre, which in many ways became our first child. There was a good deal of building and settling to do before we felt ready to have a family..."Read more about Emma Walton Hamilton...  Featured Mom, May 2009: Lenore Skenazy " My husband has a genetic disease we didn't want our kids to inherit. We kept waiting for science to decode the gene and figure out a way we didn't have to pass it along. Ten years into our marriage, science came through -- with the help of brilliant geneticist Dr. Petros Tsipouras..."Read more about Lenore Skenazy...  Featured Mom, April 2009: Susan Konig " My philosophy is that you never know what life is going to hand you. I always thought I would be a mom but never imagined having four kids which, by many modern standards, is a lot. I say that because, any time I describe my family as being large at an event or an online chat, I am always inundated with emails and letters from people with REALLY big families..."Read more about Susan Konig...  Featured Mom, March 2009: Lisa Mathews " Unlike some, I felt that my life would be happy with or without a child. My husband and I felt no extreme desperation. We didn't feel our lives would be any less fulfilled if we didn't have a "family." But we also thought how wonderful it would be to share a life..."Read more about Lisa Mathews...  Featured Mom, February 2009: René Syler " I was married to my career for many, many years. In fact, I did not get married until I was almost 31 years old. I had Casey at 33 and my (13 years older) husband and I knew that if we wanted another child, it would have to be a pretty quick turn around..." Featured Mom, January 2009: Denise McDonald Dorman " I didn't get married to my husband Dave Dorman until age 39 (he was 44), so having a child wasn't really something I counted on, but I hoped we would have a child one day..."Read more about Denise McDonald Dorman...
