Modamily is where modern families begin. Since 2011, more than 120,000 members in 40+ countries have used Modamily to find the people they'll build a family with — and over 1,000 babies have been born from connections made here. It's also home to the world's largest known-donor network, with 20,000+ donors. However you want to become a parent, this is your starting point. THREE PATHS TO PARENTHOOD • A partner — meet people who are serious about building a family, so the "do you want kids?" conversation happens before the first date, not after a year. • A co-parent — team up platonically with someone who shares your parenting values and wants to raise a child together. • A known donor — connect with sperm, egg, and embryo donors and surrogates you can actually know, so your child's story has real answers. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a profile built around what matters: your path, parenting style, level of involvement, and timeline. 2. Browse and filter by intentions — not just photos. 3. Match and chat when the interest is mutual. 4. Take it offline and start building your family. WHY MODAMILY • Everyone here wants a family. No ambiguity, no wasted years. • Pioneering modern family building since 2011. • Every family type: single parents by choice, LGBTQ+ families, couples, and everyone in between. • A global community across 40+ countries.
