LGBTQ Parenting and the community organization that supports it in the Bay Area are our topic in this episode. Our Family Coalition is a non profit that is also involved in policy work and advocacy throughout the state of California. Our guests Dy Nguyen and Jeanette Page bring their individual and collective experience to the show to talk about family-making outside the heterosexual box.

We discuss:

Getting pregnant— finding a donor/partner/village, acquiring sperm, insemination services

What the LGBTQ “village” can look like
