Finding a Compatible Co-Parent: Karim and Nadia's Story

Karim, gay, and Nadia, lesbian, both wanted biological children without entering a heterosexual relationship neither of them wanted. "We weren't looking for love, we were looking for someone who shared our values around raising a child," Nadia explains.

They met through CoParentBaby's filters for people seeking a platonic arrangement specifically. "The fact that neither of us was interested in the other romantically actually made the conversation easier. We could focus entirely on parenting."

Their daughter now spends equal time in both households, each with its own partner present. "She's growing up seeing that family doesn't have one shape. That feels like a gift, not a complication."
