11:00 am - New Member Orientation
12:00 pm - Pot Luck meal
We meet at 11am for our New Member Orientation. This is a support-style group for gay dads and prospective dads to share their experiences forming families.
Always a mix of current and future parents, this is a great way to get answers to your questions about fostering, adoption, surrogacy and co-parenting. Much of the conversation is about logistics--from agencies, attorneys, and doctors to play groups, pre-schools, and pediatricians. The payoff is when repeat visitors to this group come with their new arrivals--the children they have worked so hard to get.
This month, we will have a pot luck meal at Noon. Many longer-term members will come with their kids, so bring a dish to serve eight (no desserts, please). After the meal, we head out to the park to play with the kids. This pot luck is a perfect time for prospective dads to meet others who have traveled their path.
We have postponed our previously planned panel discussion onĀ Surrogacy, Fostering & Adoption to January.
Please do RSVP, but come anyway if you have not. If you wish to volunteer to set-up or clean-up, let us know, too. We look forward to having you there!
