In a candid discussion on her YouTube channel, actress and television presenter Joselyn Dumas shed light on the difficulties single mothers face when re-entering the dating scene. Dumas shared a personal story about a friend who wouldn’t consider dating a single mother, worried about the responsibility of raising a child not his own.

Dumas argued that such attitudes contribute significantly to the number of single mothers who remain single. These women, she says, face biases solely due to their parental status, hindering their chances of finding love.

“We can be single mothers and still crave happiness and companionship,” Dumas said. She then recounted her conversation with a friend, Anthony, who bluntly stated his refusal to date a woman with a child. His reasoning? Why raise someone else’s child when he couldn’t have his own biological heir?

Dumas challenged this perspective, highlighting the inconsistency. “What about adoption?” she questioned. “If you ask me, it’s not that different,” she concluded.

The actress emphasized that many single mothers raise their children alone out of necessity and sacrifice, not a preference for solitude. She urged viewers to reconsider the stigma attached to dating single mothers, promoting a more inclusive view of parenthood and love.
