Making Rainbow Families

Making your dream a possibility!

Thinking of becoming a parent? Want to know more about your options? LGBTIQ community, same sex couples, single parents who are LGBTIQ, potential parents who are trans or of diverse gender and sexuality are warmly invited to a day long seminar that will help you find your way through the maze to becoming a parent.

The interactive and informative seminar will include presentations on Paths to Parenting, including:

Assisted fertility, including invitrofertisation (IVF)
Workshop for potential parents who are trans or of diverse gender and sexuality - a workshop that explores options and answers questions you may have
Adoption - is it possible in NSW?
Fostering - what are the options available for families in NSW? How does the process work? Find out your options and the myths and realities
Surrogacy - Pregnancy and conception are easy for some, impossible for others. Surrogacy can be a wonderful outcome for all when the process is managed with care. Come and hear about the possibilities.

Plus Workshops on:

Finding the right health care professional - Know your rights as a health consumer. Tips and ideas on ways to find a respectful and supportive health professional.

Legal rights, legal agreements, children's rights - Love definitely makes a family but successful parenting partnerships need more than love – they need planning, negotiation and sometimes, legal agreements.
