Children's Book List for Donor-Conceived, Solo Mum By Choice Families
Community recommendations, honest reviews, and everything you need to build a shelf that reflects your child's story.
One of the most powerful things you can do for a donor-conceived child is put books on their shelf that look like them. Not for a special conversation. Not as a teaching moment. Just there — casually, regularly, as if it's the most normal thing in the world.
Because it is.
This free resource covers the best children's books available for donor-conceived solo mum families — with real ratings and reviews from the Solo Mum Society community, details on terminology used, and notes on which books suit which ages.
Including My Perfect Family — written by Alisha, a solo mum by choice, for her own donor-conceived daughter.
