Gay Parent Magazine

Family Building · New York · Free

Resource for LGBTQ+ parents covering adoption, surrogacy, and family life. Useful for trans people preserving fertility before hormone therapy or surgery. Foster training is free in every state and takes about 30 hours plus home study (~2–4 months total). Reciprocal IVF (one partner provides eggs, another carries) is increasingly available and many states now require coverage. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
