Naomi speaks to Helen who is a solo mum to an adopted son.
They discuss: making the decision to adopt when single, going through IUI, the length of time the adoption process can take, how you get matched with a child, meeting her son for the first time, the first days and months as you get to know each other, how long it takes before you are legally a parent, contact with the biological parents, being honest with the child about where he comes from.

Naomi is 35 and newly married. She is constantly asked when she's having a baby. But does she even want one?

In this series she travels the country speaking to people about their experiences in having and not having children to help her decide whether To Baby or Not To Baby.
