Alternative Family Building Ideas for Gays and Lesbians June 18th

As the city gears up to celebrate Citywide PRIDE month during June, one important issue will certainly come to the forefront – alternative family building.  Currently, there is an estimated six to 12 million children in the U.S. who have a lesbian or gay parent*.  And an increasing number of same-sex couples are looking to expand their families.
 
Mindy Berkson, an international infertility / surrogacy expert and founder of Lotus Blossom Consulting in Chicago, has teamed with UBS/PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP to help gay and lesbian couples plan and prepare for parenthood.  Together, they will be leading a FREE session titled, “Conceivable Options: Alternative Family Building.” 


Thursday June 18, 2009
 11:30am - 1:30pm. Lunch will be served. 
 @  UBS Tower, 38th Floor, 1 North Wacker Drive, Chicago

RSVP: By June 15, 2009 at  Citywide Pride.  

Topics will include understanding insurance benefits (if available), how to enlist your human resources department to determine what benefits they may be able to provide and how to identify egg donors and surrogates from “surrogate friendly” states.  The discussion will conclude with tips for how to financially plan and prepare for treatment, and a Q&A session. 


LGBT Events are going on all month!  Check  out  Citywide Pride!
