Don't waste your time! SCAM!
July 21, 2016

Don't waste your time and money with this website. I initially signed up as a non paying member to check it out, and then decided to sign up for one month as a paying member to give it a try. Decided partway through the month that it was not for me, and that I wouldn't buy another month. Little did I know, they automatically signed me up for a continuous membership, and they billed my credit card without me signing up for another month. They did not make it clear when I chose "one month membership" that what "one month membership" really means is that it is ongoing until you contact the third party website that payment was made through. I hope you are reading this before you sign up so that you are aware. Because they are not transparent when you are signing up to pay that this is the case. I contacted them to say that I was not aware of this, and that it was not made clear when I was signing up and they basically said that's my problem.

Don't make the same mistake as me, don't waste your time or money!

I met someone real and hope it works for me!
July 20, 2016

I met someone real and hope it works for me!
I was looking for someone local who is willing to coparent, not just donating sperms and met a professinal, successful man who wants to have a kid or 2 but not relationship.
Thank you co-parents.net

Hopefully you read this before signing up for a membership. I was a non paying member for 3-4 months, and just yesterday I decided to become a full member. Well I should have known better when they accept 'bitcoin' as a form of payment yet my credit cards were declined repeatedly on their system.

The website is located in France yet it primarily targets Americans/westerners.

Based on the fact that the hackers are located near Paris, Frace, they primarily target westerners, their strange names/emails, and the most damning evidence, they accept bitcoin... A clear indication this sites owner is involved in illegal and illicit activities likely involving criminal enterprise and terrorist networks. Please do not feed your money to the enemy.

I likely just sent $34.00 to radical Islamic extremists that believe it is morally acceptable to steal from all non Muslims.

The site is not very elaborate or complex. It seems they have a few different hackers constantly creating new profiles to create a mirage of user traffic and participation.

After I finally had access to my membership, it was clear foreign hackers were at work. I received the same message from the same user about 9 times.

REFUND MY MONEY. Wait, they unregistered and deleted all my accounts. I will do everything in my power to get this site on the radar of the FBI cyber task force, NSA, CIA, etc. I don't think it should be too difficult for them to shut it down.

Very disappointed
November 17, 2015

They have dictatorial manners. Most people open an account thinking it's free, when they realise the truth they never come back or come back just to look around but never pay and can never read any messages.
I had a paid account but when it ran out I stated it on my profile so people would know and my account was cancelled by them. I wanted to keep it for a while so that I could know if any messages previously sent would be read. Also just in case I wanted to try to contact someone in the future and pay. Ever since I prefer prideangel.
Lastly non-members can look at your pictures, adding to lack of privacy.

Hello,
They have dictatorial manners: we protect our members by removing accounts that seem suspicious.
They never come back: we unfortunately can not force members to respond. Make a child is a serious thing, if some members do not satisfy you, perhaps they are not sufficiently motivated.
Pictures: we had no complaints about privacy, it was necessary to contact us directly to let us know, otherwise we can not solve this problem.
We wish you good luck in your search.

Scam
August 21, 2015

This site is a scam. It advertises connecting people who want to co-parent and have a child by natural or artificial insemination. I contacted at least 15 men, all of them want natural insemination and none of them are willing to be std tested. It is a site full of men who want to have random, unprotected sex, not people looking to co-parent.
Franz, the person who handles complaints is a thief and is refusing to refund my money that he has charged for a three month subscription even though I was a member for less than two weeks.
I highly recommend against this site! Don't waste your money!

DONT BOTHER
July 28, 2015

I have been on here for almost a month. And most of the profiles are inactive. Most of the men are interested in NI. Its the first thing they ask about. Ie: They just want unprotected sex with desperate women. Lost of messages telling me how cute i am. No reply from most people i message or they drop messages when they realise i wont have sex with them. Total waste of time and blatantly taking advantage of people in need. Also. They search engine is not quality. You spend a lot of time trawling through inactive profiles. DO NOT BOTHER. Seriously

WASTE OF MONEY, UNSAFE, DONT USE THIS SITE
March 28, 2015

Terrible, absolutly terrible. Expensive first of all. Most of the donors are not active, only a few are. The ones that are active are all creepy men just wanting sex. Very unsafe to meet anyone. I sent about 60 messages to different potential donors, only 5 replied and all of them wanted sex! Please do not waste your money.

Easy to use website that does not hide the fact that it is essentially a dating website enabling women to contact men that want to help them conceive. No judgements passed and helpful information is provided.

I've been a sperm donor in Brisbane, Australia for a while now and used this website to help several women conceive successfully.

I paid over $40 Australian as a donor, because I thought their was 293 locals actively looking for a donor, so I thought, well a one off $40 payment isn't much to help a couple of families. But once I paid and you realise how inactive everyone is on the site and how they need to also pay to receive a message. I actually couldn't help out anyone. Prices are way too high, and why are they charging donors for, who are giving up their own time to help support what they're trying to sell. Overall it's Scam for your money rather than them caring about you getting the service you would like.

In response to admins feedback. LIES! They say they give donors free membership, yet when I ask I get told I am not a real person. At the end of the day the reviews on here state that when recipients sign up all the men either want sex or are inactive. An artificial insemination only donor signs up and they become arrogant and don't honour any free membership. All the business cares about is your $ without realising the people that make them their $. Hence all the inactive donors. Very poor business model. Sadly I would of change my rating on what I thought of this site if they were professional enough to work with me, in honouring their word. My advice instead is try Co-Parentmatch.com instead it's more active.

Sorry that the site did not give you full satisfaction.
1 - sperm donors are entitled to a free subscription, you just ask.
2 - we will refund in full all the members who are not happy, you just need to contact us and request a refund.

Awful experience...
October 27, 2013

Awful experience... you cant communicate with anyone, you can only upload 1 pic i got booted off because i left my e mail, it doesnt show who is a paying member or who is a non paying member so we wont waist sooo much time.
I get e mails informing me that a member has wrote me a message. I cant open it or send any messages. All i can do is send a wink. I think this site is from some foreign country and not U.S.
Who will buy a subscription without a free trial to get a feel if the site is worth it.
No ones throwing their money around these days.

I should be the assistant to run this site i could generate good revenue and keep happy people

They ejected me from the website without any explanation after I asked them why they hadn't posted my message on a forum. My message was very polite, only presenting myself and my expectations. Incomprehensible, dictatorial manners. I had not broken any terms of use. I wonder if this is legal. I certainly won't recommend them!

Well they limit the amount of messages you can send...
February 16, 2013

Well they limit the amount of messages you can send out (other sites are unlimited)
The fact is as a donor all other sites let you put pictures of your children on so ladies can see in a sense what you produce, this site will not let you!

I had to edit my profile as my first was apparently to long in the description so had to keep on reducing it.
Now its ridiculously short!
I emailed them 3 times before they could bothered to reply

There is only one word that describe's co-parents.net...
December 30, 2012

There is only one word that describe's co-parents.net... GARBAGE. I paid for membership a couple months ago and utilized the service for three months. In three months I sent out ton's of messages (90 or more) and a whole lot of winks. I got not one answer (can you say scam). Then it dawned on me, their little game is this: The MAJORITY of members are non-paying members so they can't see or respond to any messages I send them. What's worse is that I can't see if a member is a paying member or non-paying (part of the scam). So I end up wasting god knows how much time sending messages or winks to people who will never see them. The other trick they have is dictatorship type rules... you can't post you're e-mail on your public profile (so non paid members can e-mail you) or any forums. They have a 24 hour wait after you make any change to your profile (including a grammer correction) in which your profile is made non public (no one can see it) until they accept your changes. Don't fall for the hype, the website's a ghost town (even the forums). Pay for a membership and you'll see.

One last thing, Franz is the website owner so don't believe anything he writes on the review sites. Instead try googling for 'co-parents.net reviews'

The website frequently malfunctions
July 2, 2013

The website frequently malfunctions. The majority of members are not paid users, which means you cannot communicate with them. Customer service is horrible, and fails to respond to emails. Don't waste your time or money.
