Jasmine MinorABC7 Chicago's "Black Moms Rising" highlights women, like Ashley Hunt, who are becoming single moms by choice with assisted reproductive technology.ABC7 Chicago's race and culture series, "Black Moms Rising," takes a look at women choosing to take control of their birth story.Ashley Hunt's daughter was her dream. She's part of a growing trend of women determined to become moms through assisted reproductive technology.

"I found... trying to conquer infertility more intimidating than I found trying to become a single mom by choice," Hunt said."'Welfare queen... promiscuous... million kids with multiple baby daddies and uneducated...' just all the negative crap that goes along with it," Hunt said. "Whether by chance or by choice... there's nothing to be ashamed of and being a single Black mom.

Stable, secure and steadfast, Hunt's journey to motherhood meant dozens of hormone shots and $60,000."Despite how challenging it is, it just feels euphoric," Hunt said.That is one of the reasons why Dr. Amanda Adeleye is opening a new fertility clinic on Wacker Drive in Chicago. "From the reception, there's going to be two different options. You can go to the clinical side over there or to the procedure side," Adeleye said.

Dr. Adeleye is one of four Black reproductive endocrinologists in Chicago, and she's reminding women even if you're building a family on your own, you're not alone.Copyright © 2024 WLS-TV. All Rights Reserved.
