Shared interests. Grown-up introductions.

A friend who gets the dinosaur thing.

Kindred Friends is being made for adults to explore possible family connections through shared interests, then manage every introduction and conversation themselves.

No child accounts, names, photos or precise locations.

Fictional example

A small shared thing can make hello easier.

Adults choose structured interests for their family—not a public profile for a child. Kindred Friends can then surface shared interests to support a grown-up decision.

Your family’s interest profile

Dinosaurs are the main event.

Museum days, drawing elaborate habitats and correcting grown-ups on the Cretaceous period.

3 things in common Shared structured interests for adults to consider.

An adult can choose to request an introduction.

The other adult can accept or decline. Chat only becomes available after both adults accept.

Parent-managed from the start

The children bring the interests. Adults make the decisions.

Kindred Friends is being designed around a deliberate introduction—not an open directory, child account or instant message inbox.

Choose family interests

An adult selects broad interests and practical preferences. Child names, photos and precise locations are not part of the profile.

Consider a possible fit

Adults can compare the structured interests they share before deciding whether to request an introduction.

Both adults choose

The receiving adult can accept or decline. Text chat stays closed unless both adults have agreed to the introduction.

Clear boundaries, plainly said

Careful introductions. Clear boundaries.

The planned safeguards reduce what is exposed and keep adults in control. They cannot tell you everything about another person.

  • Adults use Kindred Friends

    There are no child accounts. Child names, photos and precise locations are not included in family interest profiles.

  • Consent comes before chat

    One adult requests an introduction; the other can accept or decline. Both must accept before text chat opens.

  • Identity and age checks are planned

    Stripe Identity checks are planned to confirm ID and that an adult is over 18 before access.

  • A check has limits

    ID and age checks do not prove parenthood, good intent or safety. Adults still need to make their own careful decisions.

Before you join the list

Useful questions, straight answers.

Kindred Friends is not open yet. These answers describe the invited release currently being prepared, not a service you can create an account for today.

Is Kindred Friends for children to use?

No. It is designed for adults to manage family interest profiles, introductions and messages. There are no child accounts.

What information about a child is shown?

The planned profiles use structured interests and broad practical preferences. Child names, photos and precise locations are not included.

Can someone message me immediately?

No. An adult can request an introduction, but text chat only opens after the other adult accepts. A request can also be declined.

Does an ID check mean another adult is safe?

No. The planned Stripe Identity check can help confirm identity and that somebody is over 18. It cannot prove parenthood, intent or safety.
