Surrogacy Seminars

Since 2005 the annual NY Men Having Babies seminar provided hundreds of gay men a comprehensive overview of surrogacy by panels of experts and peers. More recently we have been asked by LGBT parenting associations elsewhere to provide assistance in organizing similar seminars, starting with one on Ethical Surrogacy Practices in Paris (September 2011), and the first Men Having Babies in Europe - scheduled for April 29 in Barcelona, Spain.

***Save the date: The eighth annal NY seminar will take place September 22, 2012!

We now have all the panel presentations from the 2011 and several other seminar in our Video Library! For those who missed it or need a refresher, the clips include an overview of the surrogacy and egg donation process by a panel of legal and medical experts, and personal stories from NY gay parents, a surrogate and an egg donor.

Ethical Surrogacy Practices / Paris 2011

At the request of the French LGBT parenting association ADFH, we assisted in organizing a seminar in Paris on September 19, 2011. The well attended seminar featured several experts from the USA and France, as well as a surrogate and two parents. The focus was the practices that can allow people adjust their surrogacy journey to suite their ethical convictions.
