Description
Read about a unique journey into Platonic Co-Parenting where romance is not required, only love.....
Are you getting older and still want to have children? Has the traditional nuclear family set up not worked out for you? Then this is the book is for you. Platonic co-parenting, also known as intentional or elective co-parenting, refers to the arrangement in which two or more individuals, who are not romantically involved, raise a child together. Platonic co-parenting can provide a child with a supportive and loving environment as an alternative to a traditional nuclear family or single parenting. It can also offer the co-parents the opportunity to share the responsibilities and joys of raising a child without the added complications of a romantic relationship.
Nick Farrow’s honest, touching and humorous memoir will show you how one man’s desire to have a child of his own led him to explore a whole new concept that would change his life forever. The book covers the key events from the twelve months leading up to the birth of his daughter in 2015 until the present day. Nick shares the obstacles and the successes, joy and tears for anyone interested in learning about, or even starting this journey for themselves.

With clever writing and a not only personal but well-researched understanding of what it takes to intentionally create a platonic heterosexual coparenting family, the author kept me wanting to read on. The chapters are short, sweet, succinct, and super useful for anyone who has considered - or is simply curious enough to broaden their understanding of - alternative family structures. As Nick points out, we will likely see many more of these arrangements in the future and it behooves us to understand how a loving family unit can be created outside of a romantic relationship. In fact, the platonic coparenting one he describes will probably weather many more storms than most traditional marriages. Love (and Nick's recipes and experiences for coparenting) are all you need.
