NEW YORK � Nick Farrow wanted what a lot of people do: a child, and a parenting partner. At 45, after a long-term romance didn't work out, he decided to take matters into his own hands, entering into a platonic open arrangement that has flourished for nine years, since daughter Milly was born.

Nick Farrow of Brighton, England, is platonically co-parenting his 11-year-old daughter with a woman he met on the mating site Modamily.Â
Whether it's with friends, known sperm donors or co-parenting connections made on so-called mating sites, more families are coming together platonically, without the pain of divorce or the added stress and expense of going it alone.
