放下生育壓力，拿回人生掌控權。「志願單親故事集」版主最真摯的呼告：婚姻，不再是成家的唯一途徑； 一個家，可以有很多樣貌。▍志願單親是一種選擇！曾經，我以為志願單親是走頭無路的備案， 後來發現，這是對女性最友善、最優質的方案。◆◆◆育有兩子、又是一名矽谷科技人，看似人生勝利組的她， 成長於一個「起手式就是反對」的傳統家庭……「沒有結婚生子，你的人生就是失敗的。」 「你的時間都用在錯的地方！」在父母一次次的否定下，她對一個家的想像，就是盡快結婚、生子，但三十五歲的生育年齡壓力與接連的約會失敗，讓她每天都在與時間賽跑：請戀愛教練指導、滑約會軟體找伴，積極參與社團聚會……所做的每件事，都以「把自己推銷出去」為目標。推動「單身生育權」成了我的召喚！ 台灣的單身女性即便凍卵，仍需婚後經伴侶同意才能使用，但美國的單身男女可以透過人工生殖或收養的方式成為父母，多數企業也提供生殖津貼，讓員工能將這項福利使用在凍卵、不孕治療、收養與代理孕母等計畫上。 最終，她在企業的補助與志願單親男同事的鼓舞下，提起勇氣進行人工生殖療程，選擇以單身之姿自己生養，正式成為志願單親媽媽。▍二○二○年，在沒有伴侶的情況下，用捐贈的精子及人工受孕的方式生下女兒； ▍二○二三年，透過美國代理孕母生下兒子，組成一家三口的小家庭。★本書特色：◎田知學（急診醫學科醫師）＿＿專文推薦 ◎李佳燕（家庭醫師）、阿淇博士（YouTuber）、許秀雯（律師／台灣伴侶權益推動聯盟創會理事長）、陳凝觀（《年代向錢看》主持人）、黃益中（公民教師／《思辨》作者）、鄒宗翰（台灣同志家庭權益促進會理事）、賴芳玉（律師）＿＿感動推薦（依姓氏筆劃順序排列）◎Cindy的經歷絕不僅僅是個人選擇的紀錄，更是一次次與傳統觀念對抗的勇氣表現。在面對社會的質疑、輿論的壓力和法律的限制時，她選擇以溫柔卻堅定的方式告訴我們，「志願單親」並非孤單的選擇，而是自我實現的重要一步。──田知學（急診醫學科醫師）◎市面上第一本談論「志願單親」的書籍。◎【建立村莊，組織親友團：如果自己發生意外，孩子怎麼辦？】 1規劃育兒支持網，準備各種備案：所謂的「避險」，就是事先找好各種備案，並將養育孩子的村莊做大。 2設立生前信託，為孩子做最好的安排：包括「誰來當小孩的監護人」、「誰來管理我的資產」，以及「誰來幫我決定醫療上的處置」。由不同人擔任這三種角色，才能避開利益衝突產生的
