Just a Baby: Become a parent

A place to explore routes to parenthood

Just a Baby: Become a parent is a parenting app for people looking into sperm or egg donation, surrogacy, and co-parenting. It suits intended parents, donors, surrogates, and people considering shared parenting who want to connect with others before making longer-term arrangements.

How matching works

The app uses a profile-based discovery system with swipe-style matching. Users can browse people based on the kind of connection they are seeking and begin conversations when there is mutual interest. Search can extend beyond a user's immediate area, which may help people who cannot find a suitable match locally.

• Profiles for intended parents, donors, surrogates, and co-parents
• Local and wider searches for potential connections
• Private photos and name options for users who want more control over visibility
• Translation support for conversations between people in different countries

Privacy and communication matter

Family-building conversations can involve sensitive medical, personal, and legal information. Just a Baby includes privacy controls that let users limit what they show publicly while getting to know someone. Communication tools are built around the app's matching process, although some interactions may depend on available credits or paid options.

What the numbers show

Published under Just a Baby Inc., the app has recorded 100,000+ installs and a rating of 3.85 from 2,837 ratings. Those figures point to an established user base, but a match is only a starting point. Anyone using the app should verify identities, discuss expectations clearly, and seek independent medical and legal advice before proceeding with donation, surrogacy, or co-parenting arrangements.
