Plan B: Single Women Choosing Motherhood. 

What do women do when they desperately want children but have not yet found the romantic love that makes creating a family a no-brainer for most breeders?  This documentary from director Beth Cramer takes a very straightforward, at times overly optimistic, look at a handful of women who have chosen to be single mothers.  Some choose adoption, others in-vitro fertilization, still others find sperm donors. Plan B asks these women the tough questions about the choices they'e made and how do you tell your child he or she was the result of in-vitro fertilization? Should a child have a choice when it comes to meeting a sperm-donor father? How do kids at school respond to "fatherless" children? and doesn't shy away from some of the more difficult decisions each woman has had to make in following the path to not just single, but at times lonely, motherhood.
