Many of you may not be aware of a social networking site known as “Modamily.”
https://www.modamily.com/en/
This is a site where those who want to be parents can connect with others who
want to be parents. However, what makes this site unique is that this is not a
“dating site,” as some of you might presume. Modamily is a space for people to
connect to others who want to co-parent, apart from any romantic or pre-existing
kind of relationship with one another. For some, you might think this is the
beginning of the end of traditional notions of family and reproduction. For others,
this site may be just the beginning of some necessary trend for us to be able to
reproduce—and parent– in ways that reflect changing behaviors in society and
the realities of a modern social world.
Tell us what you think of this kind of site and why you think it has developed as it
has. Do you think this kind of “space” and service– is simply an inevitable
outcome of the way we as individuals come to form relationships in an incredibly
modern world?
Also, perhaps comment on whether these sorts of sites do more harm than good,
by creating rather unregulated means for us to come by reproduction and
parenting. Is it possible that by its very existence, Modamily (and other
networking sites akin to it) may strike fear and dismay that “romance” need not
be the foundation of the relationships that form families, as many of us might
expect and hope for.
