Abstract

This article is based on the research I have done for my doctoral thesis about the voluntary single motherhood in Barcelona. It’s about an anthropological approach to the appearance and the development of voluntary single motherhood, which is when a woman becomes a mother
through adoption or conception previously planned without partner. Within a framework of study carried out from October 2001 to October 2007 in the Barcelona Metropolitan Area, my
research is based on in-depth interviews with twelve women from April 2002 to April 2006. The aim of this research was to find out the different ways of becoming a voluntary single
mother in Barcelona. This anthropological research is grounded in a full vital process: from the personal decision of the women to become single mothers to the daily interaction with their children.
