What exactly is the platonic coparenting model?

Nick Farrow wanted what a lot of people do: a child, and a parenting partner. “We’re seeing people look at all the different alternate ways of starting a family because they've been thinking about it for many years,” Fatovic says. “Whatever they’ve been doing up to this point wasn’t working so they start thinking outside the box.” There's no one scenario that defines elective co-parenting. “In platonic co-parenting relationships, I think people forget to plan for all of those little nuances,” says Alysha Price, who owns a firm offering parenting coaches. Users are split between people looking to meet and choose sperm donors without the option of co-parenting, and those “really focused on creating their own kind of alternative family,” Harrison said.
