When I was little I didnt realise how serious it was, said Chelsey, who lives in Parkfields with her parents and younger sister.

Lisa Mead, who is 41, first considered adopting in 2006 but when the process was held up, decided to try for her own child, despite not being in a relationship. She is now mother to Lennie, who is two, and five-month-old Bebe, both conceived with the help of a donor from America. "All the women I know who have gone down this path, I don't think that any of them imagined they would be in that situation," she said. "They all imagined they would meet a nice man and it would be how it would pan out how you expect ... you get married, you have kids.
