Looking forward to running a Rainbow Family Making workshop with Rainbow Families Switchboard next Tuesday Eve!

Having babies in q***r families is often not straightforward. How do we do it? Where do we go? How much will it cost? Who will carry the baby? Will we be supported? No matter our anatomy, we often need to consider questions cis-het families do not. But having to write our own scripts of family also provides opportunity for us to reflect deeply on our hopes, beliefs, partnerships and support structures in ways that better prepare us for the kaleidoscopic journey of parenting.

This online workshop will introduce pathways for baby making in q***r families and prompt you to explore the values, resources and preferences that might inform how you begin the journey. The main of the workshop focus will be conception of babies, we won't cover in detail processes of adoption or fostering.

Welcome to the Rainbow Families Workshop Series 1/2023
