Family Source is a proud sponsor of the Men Having Babies Midwest Surrogacy Conference, which will be held on April 14-15, 2018, at Center on Halsted, 3656 North Halsted, Chicago, IL 60613.
Men Having Babies (MHB) is an international non-profit organization that has helped thousands of gay men worldwide become biological parents.
Based on feedback from attendees the program has been extended by starting earlier on Saturday, allowing MHB to add several sessions, and allocate more time for Q&A and socializing. Also for the first time in Chicago, MHB Gay Parenting Expo will feature both surrogacy and adoption / foster care resources!
In-depth programs will offer insights from the latest studies about contemporary gestational surrogacy, insurance, budgeting, medical and psychological aspects of surrogacy. Proceeds from sponsorship and exhibiting fees will benefit the Gay Parenting Assistance Program.
While the event is organized by gay parenting organizations, non-gay prospective surrogacy parents are welcome and will no doubt highly benefit from the practical and personal peer advice offered by community activists, medical and legal experts, parents and surrogate mothers.
Admission is $25 per person in advance ($35 at the door – space permitting) and includes meals and refreshments throughout the weekend.
