LGBTQI Parents Support Group
(Prospective, Pregnant/Baby on the Way & Parenting)
(Sonoma County)

​Folk (individuals & couples) of all genders, expressions and orientations welcome!  Join others in your community to share support, resources, encouragement and experience.  This group is for: prospective parents (whether you are committed or actively working toward parenthood, or are still in the exploratory stages), those that have a baby on the way (via pregnancy, surrogacy, adoption or fostering), and parents of babies ages 1 month to 1 year.  The intergenerational nature of this community encourages each of you to bring your unique experience into the circle, offering what you’ve learned, and learning from others that are at various other stages in the journey.  Parenting can be a very isolating experience for LGBTQ folk, especially when others in your community are not also on that path.  Here we will find a shared language and experience, and make connections that can last through births, play dates, and beyond.

​Groups generally meet for 1.5 hours every other week, for 6 sessions over 3 months, 
and are facilitated by Rebecca Plum, LM, CPM, IBCLC.  

The Spring 2017 series will be a brief half series of 3 sessions over 6 weeks,
so we can get to know each other and begin to form our new community!

​LGBTQ Non-Bio Parents Support Group
(Prospective, Pregnant/Baby on the Way & Parenting)
(Sonoma County)

This group embraces all of the phases, diversity and values of the main LGBT Parents group, but focuses on supporting LGBT non-biological parents who come to parenting via foster parenting, adoption, surrogacy or partner-birthed babies.  Non-bio parents share the unique experience of being both the non-birthing parent, and a LGBT parent in a world that doesn't quite know how to see them yet.  In this group we will explore the language, stories and perspective that is held by group members, and share insight, resources, support and community.

 Groups meet for 1.5 hours, every other week, for 6 sessions over 3 months.
