Solo Parents-to-be Support Group 
(Prospective & Newly Expecting)
(East Bay or Virtual, as appropriate)


Contemplating parenthood, with its many avenues, joys and challenges, can be both empowering and isolating for a person exploring this path on their own.  Ours is a vibrant, amazing community who come together for a shared language and experience, and to make connections that will be a source of encouragement, information, support, resources, and connection throughout this journey.  Members may already be committed and actively working toward parenthood via adoption, insemination, or fostering, they may be in the process of exploring their options and trying to determine the path that feels most right for their future, or they may be already pregnant or expecting a child.   ​ Those that have been with us throughout their pregnancy are welcome to continue and bring their babes in arms.


Groups meet for two hours, every other week, for 6 sessions over 3 months, 
and are facilitated by Rebecca (Plum) Elowen, LM, CPM, IBCLC.

PLEASE NOTE: For the foreseeable future, we will be meeting virtually.  Once we agree as a group that it feels safe and appropriate to meet in person, we will resume at our Oakland location.  Therefore, this is a Virtual Support Group for the time being, but is for local folks only so that we may re-group in person when able.  
If you live outside of the SF Bay Area, please click here to check out a Virtual Support Group that will remain virtual!

If you have any questions, please feel free to click here to email me.

Summer 2020 Series

Solo Parents Support Group
(Expecting (2nd & 3rd Trimester) & Parenting)
(East Bay or Virtual, as appropriate)


Members may be expecting a baby through fostering, adoption, surrogacy or pregnancy, or they may already have their kiddos at home.  Babes in arms are welcome.  We'll talk about all the realities of expecting and parenting as solo parents, including both the technical/logistical aspects and the emotional/social.  This will be a special group, and I hope you'll join us!
