Family Building · California · Free

Resource for LGBTQ+ parents covering adoption, surrogacy, and family life. Worth contacting before starting fertility treatment to understand insurance, costs, and legal protections. Foster training is free in every state and takes about 30 hours plus home study (~2–4 months total). Pre-birth orders in surrogacy let both intended parents go on the birth certificate without post-birth adoption in supportive states. Free, confidential, and open to anyone in the LGBTQ+ community.
