11:00 am - New Member Orientation
12:00 pm - Pot Luck meal
12:15 pm - Santa!

We meet at 11:00 am 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 is a perfect time for dads and prospective dads to meet others who have traveled their path.

This month is our Holiday Party! We will have a pot luck meal at Noon--please bring a dish (entrée or side dish) to share. We will have a surprise holiday visitor!

Come get your photo on Santa's lap!

Please do RSVP, as it helps us to plan. We look forward to having you there!

NOTE: Our 11am conversation is usually just dads and prospective dads, but our Noon Brunch/Santa is open to all friends of members! Friends are also welcome to join us for other special events throughout the year, such as marching in the Pride Parade, Fathers Day Brunch at the Abbey (both in June), and outings to Staples Center (L.A. Sparks and family events).

If you wish to volunteer to set-up or clean-up, sign-up for the 30-minute shift on either side of 11:00 am-1:00 pm event. We could use a few folks to help decorate and clean-up.
