Family Source is a proud sponsor of the Men Having Babies New York Surrogacy Seminar & Gay Parenting Expo, which will be held on November 10 & 11, 2018, at the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan, 334 Amsterdam Avenue at West 76th Street, New York, NY 10023.
Men Having Babies (MHB) is an international non-profit organization that has helped thousands of gay men worldwide become biological parents.
For gay men who want to become parents through surrogacy, the Men Having Babies educational conferences are a rare opportunity to get under one roof a wealth of information, advice and access a wide range of relevant service providers — and from an unbiased non-profit organization.
The gay parenting expo will be at the large hall on the ground floor, where more than 25 providers and community organizations will offer information on parenting options in the USA and Canada. In-depth workshops and panels have been updated, and arranged in program tracks that will appeal to prospective parents on different stages of the surrogacy process. 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 ($30 at the door – space permitting) and includes lunch and a coffee break.
Online registration will end when the event reaches capacity, and no later than Friday, November 9, at noon EST.
