FSC is a GOLD SPONSOR for the Men Having Babies 2021 Parenting options for European Gay Men Conference on November 6 & 7, 2021.
For gay men who want to become parents through surrogacy, the MHB educational programs offer a wealth of information, advice, and access to a wide range of relevant service providers — and from an unbiased non-profit organization.
The program includes informational sessions with medical, legal, and financial experts as well as practical advice specifically suitable for European gay men, and even sessions with country-specific information. Furthermore, we will offer guidance on taking advantage of MHB’s expanding online resources, monthly workshops and support groups for our members, and new opportunities for significant savings on the costs associated with the surrogacy process.
Across most of Europe, gay men who want to become fathers face serious legal, cultural, and financial obstacles. With over 12,000 future and current gay parents worldwide, MHB is dedicated to helping gay men become parents. Proceeds from sponsorship fees benefit the Gay Parenting Assistance Program (GPAP) and are earmarked for prospective surrogacy parents from Europe.
