Some Millennials are choosing to platonically co-parent with friends instead of romantic partners. “Platonic co-parenting” is when adults who aren’t romantically linked agree to raise a child together. Some people choose to co-parent with lifelong friends, while others opt for an online service that platonically matches them with someone to start a family with. Platonic co-parents have the options to adopt, use sperm and egg donations, surrogacy, or conceive together. According to The Guardian, co-parenting platforms like Modamily and PollenTree, which facilitate co-parenting, have seen a 30-50% uptick in traffic since the start of the pandemic. One legal expert recommends that people who are interested in being platonic co-parents should seek a “solid legal arrangement” before making such a huge commitment, while another expert claims that taking away “romantic baggage” could potentially make a “more stable environment” if both parents are good at communicating.
