What is it?
Co-parenting is when people who arent in a conventional relationship pair up to have a child. A man will donate sperm via natural or artificial insemination, when a baby is concieved and born both sides share responsibility and custody of their child. The matches can be between gay or straight couples, with or for single gay/straight or lesbian men or women.
Who's doing it?
The main market for co-parenting is gay men and women aswell as infertile couples. There really is no limit to who can do it and for what.
What do you have to do?
First and foremost you will need to choose a co-parent. From there you must agree on custody and moral guidance for the childs upbringing. Its vital that both sides of the match have similar values and can comprimise on key issues.
Contacting a solicitor is also a major step. Both sides must have out a number of legal considerations with the arrangements. As both the natural father and mother will be treated as unmarried parents, which can cause a few problems if the co-parents fall out.
Heal checks are also a vital factor to consider. Both sides need to be healthy and it would be wise to consider family genetic history.
Things to consider
The children will have 2 doting parents who will care for them, with a possible 4 parents (two from each side).
Neither side will have sole custody (unless agreed to legally). There is dificulty of who agrees to housing the child and how often each side see's the child.
