Come and meet other queer people interested in platonic coparenting. Whether you want to explore the concept or you're looking coparents, the event is open to all.
Sunday 18th October from 1.30pm-3.30pm - come by the London LGBTQ Community Centre in Blackfriars for our meet-up.
This meet-up is for attendees to meet each other and talk about platonic coparenting. People at all stages of the coparenting journey are welcome - from if you’re figuring out if it’s for you and what it means, to if you’ve made your mind up and you’re looking for people to coparent with.
You never know who else will turn up (although I do, because I can see your names on the Outsavvy guestlist). And also, if you’re a coparent yourself, come share your wisdom!
Tily Blooms has kindly gifted us one free home insemination kit, which will be available to give away at this event to the first person who turns up and asks for it.
Any questions, please DM @queerplatoniccoparenting on Instagram or email queerplatoniccoparenting@gmail.com.
These meet-ups are open to everyone, you don't have to have been to one before to attend.
Queer platonic co-parenting is about making a choice to parent with another queer person or people without romantic involvement, where you share the emotional, physical and financial aspects of raising a child together.
This can take many forms and this event is open to different ideas & experiences. There is no set way to do it, so even if you don’t feel like you know exactly what you want or how you would approach this, you’re very welcome.
You can be a prospective co-parent or an existing parent already looking for community or support. You may want to share parenting responsibilities evenly or you may be looking for a different but committed parent/sharent role.
This event is run by queer people who are also curious about platonic co-parenting and are not experts or specialists in this area. So it will be focused on meeting other people interested in this in London and sharing what knowledge there is in the community.
All LGBTQIA+ people are welcome and this event is not about finding people with specific elements needed to conceive and nobody will be expected to disclose anything about their bodies.
