First, if you're a single mother of three children, please, please, please consider the cost of owning a dog (especially a yorkie, as they can have significant health issues and costs associated with grooming) and whether a Yorkie is suitable for your situation. Yorkies (and little dogs in general) are not always the best around young children. Also, small dogs can easily get hurt when little kids play too roughly with them or drop them. Just something that you need to seriously consider.

If you have the funds and time to have a dog, and if a Yorkie is suitable for your household (i.e., because you have older children), then PLEASE look into a rescue organization in your area. Petfinder.com is always good and most regions have Yorkie resuce groups. If this is your first dog or if you're limited with regard to time, consider adopting a slightly older dog (i.e., not a puppy, which are about as time consuming as infants).
