According to Chi, single mothers receive very little support in Taiwan. At the GHF, for example, only a minority of girls who decide to keep their baby get any financial or emotional support from their parents, and then only after considerable resistance from them. Most unmarried girls who choose the hard road of raising their child, do so without the proper skills or support from their family or boyfriend.
紀惠容表示，台灣單親媽媽所得到的支持非常有限，以勵馨服務的案主為例，當她決定要自己撫養小孩時，只有少數在經過抗爭後獲得家人經濟或感情上的支持，多數的未婚媽媽都是在缺乏一技之長、缺乏家人及男友支持的情況下，獨自走上撫育孩子的艱辛之路。
