Help[Games] Harrison Family

Non-Traditional? Yay! I'm going to base this on me and my family.
Username: humblebee
LN: Harrison
Parent: Elinor Daphne
She's a SMC--Single Mom by Choice. Her kids would either be conceived through anonymous donor insemination or adopted.
Elinor's story:
When Elinor realized she was so desperate to become a mother that she was weeks away from marrying a man she knew wasn't right for her just because he wanted kids too, she knew she needed to step back and take a serious look at her life. How had she ended up here?
She had been 14 when she first announced that if she couldn't find "Mr. Right," she would have a family on her own. She meant it, too. The thought of being a single mom never scared her; her own mother had never remarried after her divorce, so a single-parent household headed by a woman felt normal to Elinor. As she canceled the caterer and returned wedding gifts, she wondered: When did I stop seeing all the options open to me and decide to settle for something that doesn't feel right?
She started researching Single Moms by Choice and sperm banks that night, as well as single-parent adoption. Soon, she had a plan and high hopes. With any luck, she'd be a mother by her next birthday.
