This article offers a feminist deconstruction of legitimacy regarding the intentional derision by midlife independent single women to enter solo parenthood. Data collection involved interviews with 26 single mothers by choice (SMCs) and two years of participant observation in two Single Mothers by Choice support groups. Their accounts indicate that SMCs feel entitled to enter solo motherhood because they possess four essential attributes: age, responsibility emotional maturity and fiscal capability. SMCs use economic, moral, and religious justifications to further legitimize their decisions. These justifications allow SMCs to present themselves as competent ethical, and mainstream mothers.
