A woman is living proof that you can have kids without a partner – and you don’t even need to have sex either!
Verity Jones fell pregnant despite being celibate for 11 years.
The 35-year-old, from Ramsgate in Kent, located a sperm donor online.

She paid £25 to get the donation shipped and inseminated herself at home.
Verity, who is a happy single mum to 10-year-old Holly, said: "I had a bizarre dream about me being pregnant with a baby, it must've just been my biology telling me to hurry up.
"But I couldn't just go and have a baby with a random guy. So I organised a sperm donor online and inseminated myself.
"People with a lot of money go through doctors and things but I just signed some papers.
"He delivered his sperm in a donation pot and by some miracle it worked first time.
"We still talk every year on my daughter's birthday. It's worked out bizarrely well."
Even though Verity "thoroughly enjoyed sex" in the past, she gave it up at 24 after too much "non-committed fun".
She explained: "It just kind of happened by accident 11 years ago when I was 24. One day I just thought, 'What's the point in this?'.
"I'm pansexual, so I'd mostly been with women – but some men too. I enjoyed sex a lot before that – it wasn't like I wasn't having it or committed to God.
"One day I just thought what's the point in this, maybe it was an early mid-life crisis but I was just fed up of non-committed fun."
Holly, who was born in September 2012, is aware of her origins and "loves" her mum's lifestyle.
Verity said: "When I became celibate I thought I was choosing not to just for then, and thought maybe once Holly was older I would go back to it.
"But as time went on I hated the idea more and more – never again do I want anything like that again.
"I'm completely celibate in every way – physically and emotionally.
"When I chose to have my daughter alone I chose to purposely not have another parent involved. I'm cynical of relationships.
"I don't believe in true love after hearing so many awful stories and I'd rather her have one parent than be parenting by a broken relationship.
"Being celibate means I can focus on myself rather than thinking about whether I'm pleasing someone else or feeling inferior or worrying I'm not all the things a partner would want.
"If I like things a certain way then that's all that matters."
Even though Verity's mum and friends urge her to be more open-minded about finding love, she's not looking for a partner any time soon.
She added: "People do find it bizarre.
"If I post about it on Facebook I get lots of shock faces and people asking, 'How could that happen? You're only 35 and already been celibate for eleven years?'.
"People can usually understand the casual sex, but they don't quite understand the relationship aspect or get why I can be happy.
"They think I need a partner to be happy.
"My mum always says why don't you settle down but I can't think of anything worse than someone sitting on my sofa waiting for me to do stuff for them.
"And I can barely share the bed with my cat never mind another person.
"Of course there are times I feel sad that I probably won't ever have sex again, and if I do I'll be like 60 and past the age of feeling like an attractive woman.
"It's not as if I don't have desires. I'm not asexual or a robot, I'm a woman and see Johnny Depp in the same way anyone else does – but it only lasts a minute and I move on.
"I'd definitely recommend this to others. Instead of crying because I've been cheated on I'm sitting peacefully at home with my cats."
