Queer Parents Support Group
(Prospective, Baby on the Way & Parenting)
(East Bay)
Queer 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 (anyone contemplating parenthood and its many avenues, joys and challenges, whether you are committed or actively working toward parenthood, or are still in the exploratory stages), pregnant parents, those that have a baby on the way (via 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 Queer 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 meet for one and a half hours, every other week, for 6 sessions over 3 months, and are facilitated by Rebecca Plum, LM, CPM, IBCLC.

Queer Non-Bio Parents Support Group
(Prospective, Pregnant/Baby on the Way & Parenting)
(East Bay)
This group embraces all of the phases, diversity and values of the main Queer Parents group, but focuses on supporting Queer 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 queer 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 two hours, every other week, for 6 sessions over 3 months.
