About Kinship
What is Kinship?
Kinship is pretty simple - we connect you with a small group of local women who are at the same stage of motherhood as you. These aren't massive forums or overwhelming social networks - just intimate groups where you can form real friendships with other moms in your city who truly get what you're experiencing.
Is Kinship free?
Yes! You can explore Kinship free for the first 60 days. After that, there’s a small monthly subscription that helps us keep Kinship running smoothly, add new features, and make sure every member has a top-notch experience.
Where is Kinship available?
Right now, Kinship is available in Houston and Austin—but we’re just getting started! More cities are coming soon. Join our waitlist to be the first to know when we launch near you.
Who can join Kinship?
Kinship is for all moms and moms-to-be, including:
-
Expecting mamas

New moms
-
Experienced moms
-
Adoptive moms

And anyone on their journey to motherhood
If you’re looking for mom friends, you belong here.
Getting Started
How do I sign up?
Download the Kinship app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Then create your profile and answer a few simple questions about where you are in your motherhood journey, what you're looking for, and your interests. We'll use that info to match you with a group of moms you'll truly connect with.
You'll be asked to share:
-
Your location (city or zip code)
-
Your current stage of motherhood (trying to conceive, due date, or child’s birthday)
-
A bit about yourself
-
Your interests and what kind of mom friends you’re hoping to meet
How does the matching process work?
We take matching seriously! You'll be placed with other moms based on:
-
Your location (same city or zip code)
-
Your stage of motherhood
-
Your kids’ ages
-
Your interests and preferences
It’s like finding your mom BFFs—just faster and with a little magic on our end.
How quickly will I be matched with a group?
Most moms are matched within 24–48 hours, depending on local availability. We focus on meaningful matches over fast ones, so sometimes it might take a little longer to find your perfect fit—but we promise it’s worth the wait.
How big are the groups?
We like to keep things intimate—groups are under 20 women. That way, it’s easier to really get to know each other, have meaningful conversations, and plan those in-person meetups.
What if I don't click with my group?
Totally okay. If your group doesn’t feel like the right fit, you can request to switch. We want you to feel comfortable and supported—because that’s what Kinship is all about.
Can I be in multiple groups?
Right now, you can join one group at a time. But we’re working on expanding this, so you’ll be able to join more than one group in the future—especially if you have kids in different stages of life.
Safety and Privacy
How does Kinship ensure user safety?
Your safety is a top priority. We’ve put several safeguards in place, including:
-
Profile verification
-
A reporting system
-
Clear community guidelines
-
Private messaging controls
-
The ability to block users
We’re always here to make sure Kinship stays a safe, welcoming space for everyone.
Is my information private?
Absolutely. You have full control over what’s visible on your profile. Your personal info is only shared with verified members in your group or community spaces.
Can anyone see my profile?
Nope! Only verified Kinship members in your area—who have either been matched with you or interacted with your comments in a community—can view your profile. And you decide what they can see.
How do you verify members?
We use phone verification, email confirmation, and profile reviews to make sure everyone in the Kinship community is genuine and here for the right reasons.
Support
How do I get help if I have a problem?
We’re here for you! If something’s not working or you have a question, you can:
-

How do I report inappropriate behavior?
If something doesn’t feel right, just tap the report button in the app. You can also block anyone you don’t want to interact with. We take all reports seriously and act quickly to keep the community kind and safe.
Can I delete my account if needed?
Of course. You can delete your account anytime from the Settings menu. We’ll be sad to see you go, but we understand that life changes—and you’re always welcome back.
