Family Equality

Family Building · Oregon · Free

Advances equality for LGBTQ+ families through advocacy, support, and legal protections. A starting point for foster parents navigating training, licensure, and matching with LGBTQ+ youth in care. Insurance coverage for fertility treatment varies by state and employer — check before paying out of pocket. Marriage equality made some family-building easier but second-parent adoption is still recommended for travel across hostile states. Free, confidential, and open to anyone in the LGBTQ+ community.
