LGBTQ+ Parenting: A Discussion

Many LGBTQ+ people seek to become parents, through a variety of different routes available to them. Whether adopting, looking for a surrogate, or pursuing IVF, LGBTQ+ couples are now able to plan and build their families in a number of jurisdictions around the Globe.

In this panel, we'll be exploring some of those options, listening to parents' experiences with having children, and answering the questions you've always wanted to ask about starting your own family with your partner.

We'll also be hearing from the parents of LGBTQ+ people on what we can do to better support LGBTQ+ people growing up, and to understand better the challenges that they face.

Join us on the 23rd of March to find out more and learn about how you can become an LGBTQ+ parent.
