Couple · Co-parenting · Donation where available
Having a child, your way
BabyYouWay connects adults who want to have a child: meet someone to form a couple with, co-parent without a romantic relationship or, in countries where this pathway is open, move towards a donation supervised by professionals.
For adults aged 18 and over only. Free to join, no payment card needed.
Three pathways, depending on what you are looking for
You choose your intention: nothing is inferred from your orientation, your gender or your circumstances. You can have several pathways active at once.
Co-parenting
Conceive and raise a child with one or more adults, with no obligation to live as a couple.
Donation
Where availableGet in touch and be directed to authorised professional organisations, only in countries where this pathway has been opened following a legal review.
How it works
Four steps, at your own pace.
Create your account
An email address, a password and your date of birth: the service is for adults only and signing up is free.
Describe your project
Your intentions, your timeline, your expectations. Sensitive questions are optional and you set the visibility of each piece of information.
Your profile is approved before it becomes visible
Photos and text are reviewed before publication. Nothing new appears until it has been approved.
Discover, ask, talk
You send a contact request with a short message. The conversation only opens if the other person accepts.
Safety and privacy, from the start
Planning for a child deserves a serious setting. Here is what is in place for every member, free and Premium alike.
Moderation before publication
Every photo and every piece of public text is reviewed before it appears. If something is rejected, you are told why and can ask for a review by a person.
Distinct levels of verification
“Photo moderated”, “Selfie match”, “Age or identity verified”: three badges that do not say the same thing, and that are never confused with one another.
Blocking and reporting
Messaging only opens once both people have agreed. You can block or report a profile, a photo or a message at any time.
Privacy
Profiles are never indexed by search engines. Sensitive information is optional and you decide who can see it.
Free to meet people, Premium if you wish
The free plan genuinely lets you find, contact and talk to people. Premium is an optional subscription, for extra comfort.

Frequently asked questions
Is BabyYouWay free?
Yes, for the essentials. With the free plan, you can create and publish your profile, search for compatible people, send contact requests every week and talk without limit once the request has been accepted.
Premium is an optional subscription. Current prices and quotas are set out on the Pricing page. No payment card is requested when you sign up.
What are the three pathways?
- Couple project: meet someone to build a relationship with and consider having a child.
- Co-parenting: conceive and raise a child with one or more adults, with no obligation to be in a romantic relationship.
- Donation: only in countries where this pathway has been opened, get in touch and find your way to authorised professional organisations.
A pathway is an intention that you choose. It is never inferred from your orientation or your circumstances, and you can activate more than one. To find out more, see the Pathways page.
Who can see my profile?
Only signed-in members, and only once your profile has been approved and published. Profiles are never publicly visible or indexed by search engines.
You set the visibility of each piece of information: visible to compatible members, to your accepted contacts only, or to no one. Your date of birth stays private (only your age can appear) and your exact location is never displayed. A person you have blocked can no longer see your profile.
How are my photos moderated?
Every photo is reviewed before it becomes visible. It is first placed in a private space, its metadata (including location) is removed, and it is then analysed automatically. Ambiguous cases are reviewed by a member of our team.
If a photo is rejected, you are told the reason and you can ask for a human review. If you replace a photo that has already been approved, the old one stays on display until the new one is approved. The public text on your profile follows the same principle.
The details are set out in the moderation and appeals policy.
