How we're different
Not a catalog. People you get to know.
Pedigree is where people who want a child meet the people who can help them have one, and talk before they decide.
Who is here
You want a child.
Pedigree is where you meet the people who can help you have one.
Donors
Sperm donors and egg donors who meet hopeful parents as themselves, and say how involved they hope to be.
Surrogates
Surrogates and hopeful parents meet here and get to know each other before anything is agreed.
Co-parents
People who want to raise a child together without needing to be a couple, sharing time, decisions and costs.
Partners
People looking for a partner to build a family with.
A profile can tell you a role and a timeline. Trust takes a conversation.
Pedigree
Meet First. Decide Together.
Who you are, what you hope for
Every profile carries a role and an intent: how involved, which method, what timeline. Filter and explore by role.
Meet first
A Meet First request takes the place of a date request. Match, chat and meet before anyone decides anything.
Known and unpaid
Every member accepts the pledge when they join. Nobody is listed, priced or sold, and nobody is paid through Pedigree. It is not a marketplace.
Near you, never your address
Near You is a map of areas showing how many members are nearby, in distance ranges. Nobody sees an exact location.
Known and Unpaid
A pledge every member accepts.
Pedigree is for people who get to know each other. It is not a marketplace: nobody is listed, priced or sold, and nobody is paid through it.
Known
Here as themselves
People here meet as themselves. You talk to the person, not to a profile number, and you decide together how much contact there will be later.
Unpaid
Nobody is priced or sold
Nobody on Pedigree asks for or offers payment for sperm, eggs or surrogacy. Every member accepts that pledge when they join.
Enforced
Breaking it can be reported
If anyone asks you for money or offers it, report them with the reason "Asking for or offering payment".
Roles and Intent
Say who you are and what you hope for.
Every profile carries a role and an intent: how involved the member expects to be, the methods they are open to, and their timeline. Tap through to see how it reads.

- Open to discuss
- Method
- Clinic (IUI)
- Timeline
- Exploring
A preview only. Nothing here is saved or sent. You set these on your own profile, and you can change them whenever you need to.
Near You
See the community, not the person.
Near You is a map of areas showing how many members are nearby, in distance ranges. Numbers are shown as ranges, and nobody is ever placed on the map.
Your exact location is never shown.
- 01
Match
When you both like each other's profile, a conversation opens.
- 02
Talk
A match is a chance to talk. It is not an agreement to anything.
- 03
Ask to meet first
A Meet First request asks your match to meet in person, with a note and a public place.
Meet First
Talk before you decide.
Where other modes of The One have date requests, Pedigree has Meet First requests. You get to know the person, somewhere public, before anything else is on the table.

Health Information Consent
Your health details are yours to share, or not.
Health and screening details have a consent of their own, separate from the pledge. Nothing is kept on your profile until you say yes. You can use Pedigree without it, and you can take it back.
What the consent covers
- Blood type
- Genetic screening
- Most recent test date
- Family health notes
- Whether you smoke
Written by the member. Never shown as verified.
Verified
One pill, one meaning.
Verifiedmeans the member completed identity verification. It never stands for anything else.
Identity
The green Verified pill
It means a member completed identity verification. Turn on Verified only in your filters to see verified members only.
Honest labels
Health is never shown as verified
Health and screening details are written by the member. Pedigree does not check them, and the profile says so.
Your data
Take it back any time
Withdraw the health consent in Settings and every health and screening detail is removed from your profile straight away.
Report and Block
Reasons that name what can go wrong here.
Your report goes to our safety team for review, and the person you report is not told who reported them. Pedigree adds three reasons of its own.
Report
Asking for or offering payment
Money, gifts or favours for sperm, eggs or surrogacy.
Report
Pressure about how to conceive
Pushing a method you have said no to.
Report
Misleading health or screening claims
Health, test or screening details that turn out to be untrue.

What to ask, and what to settle, in plain language.
General information to help you ask good questions. It is not medical or legal advice: where a decision needs a doctor, a clinic or a lawyer, it says so.
