LGBT Parenting Panel This Weekend

I am looking forward to our event at The Triangle Community Center in Norwalk this Saturday, May 30! I have so many good memories of the Center from over the years and mostly about giving presentations to gay couples and individuals who want to have children.

I remember many years ago when I was young and gay and wondering if it would be possible to have a family. I wanted children but I did not know anyone who was gay and had children. I read about it but I felt alone in my hopes to have children. Some people thought it would be wrong to have children and that it would create issues for the children to bring them into a home with a gay Mom or two gay parents. But I was determined and now I am proud to say I have two lovely boys, ages 20 and 15.

This is why, as a lawyer specializing in family formation law and as a gay parent, I love speaking to groups of gay people to let them know how they can truly realize the dream of having children.

Taking my experience into the world of surrogacy matching through my agency, Worldwide Surrogacy Specialists, has been a blessing and the most rewarding aspect of my legal career. My team and I have helped many parents to have their children through the surrogacy process, and also through other programs such as with egg donors and sperm donors. It will be an honor and a privilege to be a speaker with Dr. Mark Leondires at the Triangle Community Center in Norwalk this Saturday.
