"Let me tell you why we don't go out and marry. I spoke to a friend of mine here, Anthony. He said, 'Me, I will never be with a born one'," Dumas revealed. "His reason was, 'Why would I come and raise somebody else's child? That's not my bloodline. He doesn't have any trace of my DNA in him. Why am I going to help someone's bloodline grow now? What about mine?'"

The Adams Apple actress contended that this mindset contributes significantly to the reality that many single mothers remain unmarried as they face societal prejudices.

A single mother with an already-grown daughter, Senia, Joselyn Dumas also highlighted the double standard in attitudes toward adoption, arguing that raising a child who is not biologically one's own should not be viewed differently.

Dumas emphasized that single motherhood is often a result of sacrifice and necessity rather than a choice to lead a single life.
