If you even have just an inkling about becoming a a gay dad now or sometime in the future THIS really is the resource center you need. Friends can generously give you the best advice based on their own experiences but parenting by a same-sex couple or a single gay or trans person is still very much unchartered waters for most of us and we need as many facts as possible before we can take the plunge
Men Having Babies, Inc.
is a nonprofit organization that was spun off in July 2012 from a program that ran at the NYC LGBT Center since 2005. It started as a peer support network for biological gay fathers and fathers-to-be, offering monthly workshops and an annual seminar.
Their mission is the provision of educational and practical information to assist gay prospective parents to achieve biological parenting. Promoting the affordability of surrogacy-related services for gay men through financial assistance and the encouragement of transparency and customer feedback. Promoting surrogacy practices that minimize the risks and maximize the potential short and long-term benefits to all involved. Raising awareness about the potential benefits and meaningful relationships surrogacy arrangements can bring about.
