Co-parenting sites provide perfect matches
Online apps rise in popularity amid falling birthrates in China, US and UK, Belinda Robinson reports in New York.
Diana, a 48-year-old from Michigan, United States, posted her photo on a message board, describing how she had desperately wanted to have a child for most of her life and was still hoping to make her dream come true.
On PollenTree, an online service for women who want a baby, but not necessarily a relationship or marriage, she said she was interested in in-vitro fertilization and sperm donation.
The service offered differs from sperm being provided by an anonymous donor, because both people agree-sometimes with the help of lawyers and a contract-to have a baby and to be an active part of the child's life as co-parents.
