Is starting a family of your own part of your dream? The process might feel daunting at first, but it begins with taking the first step into a welcoming, supportive space. That’s exactly what the Making Rainbow Families Seminar offers you.
We will guide you with the information you need to make an informed decision about starting or building your family. You'll learn about the many different paths to parenthood and connect with others on the same journey, in an LGBTQ+ friendly space.
Let us help make your dream of becoming a parent a reality.
During this seminar, you’ll hear from leading industry experts as they guide you through practical “how-to” sessions and answer your questions. There's also opportunities to meet and build lifelong friendships with other aspiring parents—whether you’re lesbian mums, gay dads, trans and gender-diverse people, or other members of the LGBTQ+ community.
We’re here to help you on your journey.
