I can understand having a baby and raising it with a friend who you're not in a relationship with, but not a total stranger. Each to their own though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/modamily#post-1435336 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 00:41:16 +0000 Fronkinzankinsbride 1435336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really get an online service for this but I know several co-parenting non-romantic couples. Including our sperm donor (with his baby mama not referring to his donor relationship with us) and our future "nanny" (planning on babies with a friend of hers) who I will also consider a co-parent during the time that she will live with us and help care for our baby. But these are all queer couples so we live in a different world. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/modamily#post-1434111 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 14:57:44 +0000 LuLu Mom 1434111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, way too much risk. If you want a child but do not have a significant other, find a donor &amp; raise the child solo. Raising it with a stranger is just so wrong to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/modamily#post-1433810 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 13:41:10 +0000 mrsjyw 1433810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/modamily#post-1433804 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 13:39:19 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1433804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think its a terrible idea. Why bring a child into a divorced-style life if you don't have to? Plus, I think its a super bad idea that it lets you upload your official documents. Its just asking for someone to rip you off... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/modamily#post-1433742 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 13:10:40 +0000 CottonCandy 1433742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think its crazy. How well do you really know that person? much less their family, history, the good, the bad and the ugly?? I just wouldn't do it, and I would have a hard time supporting it if someone close to me (i.e. one of my family members) were to be seriously interested in this concept. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/modamily#post-1433532 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 11:40:41 +0000 kiddosc 1433532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have any of you heard of this? I saw a news story on it last night. It is similar to a dating website, except people are looking for someone to have a baby with, without romantic involvement... a co-parent. </p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPuOFzg80WY" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPuOFzg80WY</a></p> <p>This seems like there would be so many risks involved and so many potential legal battles. I think it would take just the right kind of people to make this work. It would definitely not be for me... but then again, I've never been in the position of wanting children, but not having a partner. What are your thougths? </p>
