About Co-ParentMatch.com

A Worldwide Sperm Donor and Co-Parent Matching Service

Co-ParentMatch.com is an online introduction and matching service helping people who want to become parents connect with potential sperm donors, recipients and co-parents.

Established in 2007, Co-ParentMatch.com has been helping people explore different routes to parenthood for nearly 20 years. Our members come from many different countries, backgrounds and family circumstances.

Our aim is simple: to provide a place where people with similar family-building goals can find each other, communicate and decide whether they may be a suitable match.

Our Mission

To enable people who want to become parents to connect with like-minded individuals and explore the possibility of creating a family together.

We believe people should have the opportunity to explore different routes to parenthood. Co-ParentMatch.com provides an online platform for people considering sperm donation, known donation, recipient arrangements and co-parenting.

Who Can Join Co-ParentMatch.com?

Co-ParentMatch.com is an inclusive service open to individuals and couples looking for potential sperm donors, recipients or co-parenting partners.

Our members may have very different reasons for joining. Some may be looking for a sperm donor, some may wish to become a donor, while others may be interested in a co-parenting arrangement.

We welcome people from different countries, cultures, sexual orientations and family structures.

How Co-ParentMatch.com Works

Creating a profile and searching for potential matches is free.

1. Create your profile free of charge.
2. Search and browse profiles to find potential matches.
3. When you find someone you would like to communicate with, upgrade to Premium Membership.
4. Use Premium Membership to send and read unlimited messages.
5. Take your time getting to know a potential match before deciding whether to communicate or meet in person.

Co-ParentMatch.com provides the introduction and communication platform. The decisions about whether to meet, donate, receive a donation or enter into a co-parenting arrangement are made by the individuals involved.

Premium Membership

You can search for potential matches and create your profile without paying.

Premium Membership is required when you want to communicate with other members.

Premium Membership allows you to send unlimited messages and read unlimited messages from other members.

How Do I Cancel My Membership?

We believe members should be able to stop future subscription payments when they choose.

There is currently no dedicated subscription cancellation button directly within the Co-ParentMatch.com website.

You can cancel your recurring PayPal subscription by logging into your PayPal account and cancelling the relevant recurring payment.

Alternatively, you can contact Co-ParentMatch.com and ask us to cancel your subscription for you.

If you want to prevent future recurring payments, you can either cancel directly through PayPal or contact us for assistance.

Why Can You Trust Co-ParentMatch.com?

Trust is particularly important when you are considering something as personal and important as becoming a parent.

We believe the best way to build trust is to be open about who we are, how our service works and what we can and cannot verify.

Co-ParentMatch.com was established in 2007. We have been providing an online matching service for nearly 20 years.

We are a UK-based service and provide an online platform for people around the world to search for potential matches and communicate with other members.

We do not sell sperm and we do not purchase sperm. Co-ParentMatch.com is an introduction and matching service, not a sperm bank or fertility clinic.

Are Members Verified?

This is an important question and we believe in being completely transparent about it.

Not every detail provided by a member is independently verified by Co-ParentMatch.com.

Members are responsible for the information they provide in their profiles and communications.

You should therefore not assume that information contained in another person's profile has been independently checked simply because it appears on our website.

Before entering into any personal, medical, financial or co-parenting arrangement, you should take reasonable steps to satisfy yourself that the person is who they say they are and that the information they have provided is accurate.

What We Do Not Verify

Co-ParentMatch.com is an online introduction and matching service. It is not a medical, legal or identity-verification service.

Unless specifically stated otherwise, you should not assume that we have independently verified a member's:

• Identity
• Address
• Employment or income
• Relationship or family circumstances
• Medical history
• Fertility
• Genetic history
• Sexual health
• Criminal record
• Parental suitability
• Sperm quality
• Donor suitability
• Legal ability to enter into a particular arrangement

Members should independently verify any information that is important to their decision.

Member Safety

We take inappropriate behaviour and misuse of the service seriously.

We do not tolerate behaviour such as harassment, threats, fraud, impersonation, abusive behaviour or deliberate misuse of the service.

Members should remain cautious when communicating with people they have met online and should never feel pressured into meeting someone, sharing personal information or entering into an arrangement.

No online platform can completely eliminate the possibility of inappropriate behaviour. Our approach is based on member awareness, reporting, investigation and appropriate action.

How Can I Report a Member?

If you believe another member is behaving inappropriately, attempting to scam you, providing misleading information, harassing you or otherwise misusing Co-ParentMatch.com, please contact us.

When reporting a member, please provide as much information as possible, including the member's username or profile information, what happened and any relevant messages or evidence.

We will review reports and complaints and take appropriate action where necessary.

If you believe someone is in immediate danger or that a criminal offence has taken place, you should also contact the appropriate emergency or law-enforcement authorities.

Protect Yourself Online

We strongly recommend that members take sensible precautions when communicating with someone they have met through Co-ParentMatch.com.

• Have video conversations before meeting someone in person.
• Meet in a safe public place when meeting someone for the first time.
• Do not share sensitive personal information unnecessarily.
• Never share passwords or financial information.
• Be cautious if someone asks you for money.
• Take your time before making important decisions.
• Independently verify information that is important to you.

Never Send Money to Another Member

A request for money should be treated as a serious warning sign.

Co-ParentMatch.com is an introduction service. Members should not use the platform to request or send money to other members.

Be particularly cautious if another member asks you for money for travel, medical treatment, an emergency, accommodation, gift cards, cryptocurrency or any other reason.

If another member asks you for money, please report the profile to us.

Fertility Clinics and Medical Advice

We strongly recommend that members consider using a registered fertility clinic when proceeding with donor conception.

A qualified fertility clinic can provide professional medical advice, appropriate screening and testing, and guidance about fertility treatment.

Depending on where you live and the circumstances of your proposed arrangement, there may also be important legal considerations relating to sperm donation, donor conception, parental responsibility and co-parenting.

We therefore recommend obtaining independent medical and legal advice before proceeding.

Co-ParentMatch.com does not provide individual medical, fertility, genetic or legal advice and our website should not be treated as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional.

Privacy

We understand that fertility, family planning, relationships and parenthood are highly personal subjects.

We take member privacy seriously and encourage members to think carefully about the information they choose to share with other members.

Do not share sensitive personal information simply because you have connected with someone through our website.

We recommend keeping personal contact details private until you are comfortable sharing them and being particularly cautious about requests for financial information, passwords or identity documents.

For more information about how personal information is handled, please read our Privacy Policy.

We Do Not Sell or Purchase Sperm

Co-ParentMatch.com does not sell or purchase sperm.

Our service exists to help people find and communicate with potential matches. We provide the online introduction; we do not act as a sperm bank, fertility clinic or medical provider.

Any arrangements made between members are the responsibility of the individuals involved.

Legal Information

The laws surrounding sperm donation, donor conception, parental responsibility and co-parenting can vary between countries and individual circumstances.

We cannot guarantee that a particular arrangement is legally valid or that a particular person will or will not have parental rights or responsibilities.

We therefore strongly recommend that members obtain independent legal advice before entering into a donor or co-parenting arrangement.

We also recommend obtaining appropriate medical advice and considering the use of a registered fertility clinic.

Co-ParentMatch.com does not guarantee that you will find a suitable match, donor, recipient or co-parent. We also cannot guarantee that information provided by another member is accurate or complete, or that a proposed arrangement will result in pregnancy or parenthood.

Please read our Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy before using the service.

Our Customer Support

If you have a question, concern or problem with your membership, you can contact Co-ParentMatch.com directly.

We can assist with matters relating to your account, Premium Membership, payments, subscription cancellation, profiles, reporting members and general questions about using the website.

If you need to cancel a recurring PayPal subscription, you can either cancel it through your PayPal account or contact us and request cancellation.

We want our members to know that there is a real service behind the website and that you can contact us when you need help.

Our History

Co-ParentMatch.com was founded in 2007 after recognising that people looking for known sperm donors and co-parenting arrangements had limited online options.

Since then, the service has developed into a worldwide platform where people can create profiles, search for potential matches and communicate with others who are also exploring alternative routes to parenthood.

We are proud of the history of Co-ParentMatch.com and the people who have used the service over the years.

Our goal remains the same: to make it easier for people with similar goals to find one another and explore whether they could help each other become parents.

Our Promise

We don't want to simply tell you to trust us.

We want you to understand exactly what Co-ParentMatch.com does, what we don't do and what you should check for yourself.

Co-ParentMatch.com provides the introduction. You make the decisions.

When those decisions involve something as important as becoming a parent, take your time, ask questions, protect your privacy and obtain independent professional advice where appropriate.

Established in 2007. Helping people connect on their journey to parenthood.
