LIV THORNE

Amateur adventures in solo motherhood

There’s more than 2.4

I was 36, single and I wanted a baby.
So I bought some sperm online and I am now 42 with a 3 year old.

Obviously it was a ‘touch’ more complicated than that and hopefully you will find
what you are looking for on this site if you want to find out more.

It’s not all about me though, I promise! I am really passionate about sharing stories about
parenthood beyond the nuclear family. 

And sometimes I simply want to share a really cracking series recommendation or a jumper of dreams!

Enjoy!

The book

Had I mentioned I have written a book?
Published by Hodder & Stoughton in August 2021, Liv’s Alone, lets you discover all about my adventures in solo motherhood.

Testimonials

Thank you for writing this book. When I started my single journey 20 years ago, I struggled immensely and had nowhere to turn. I am sure this book will make a difference to many women who wanted nothing more than to become a mother.

Thanks so much for sharing. I have a friend who is starting the donation process and it has given me such an insight as to how she may be feeling.

I just finished listening to you on Happy Mum, Happy Baby and I just had to say thank you so much for sharing your story. It resonsates with me so much. I've always said I'd get a sperm donor one day and as I'm getting older it feels more and more likely. Hearing your journey just comforts me so much and fills me with hope.

You don't need to follow societal norms to be a parent, there are so many options and opportunities for humans with love to give.
