Where Family Begins: Exploring the many ways to build a family
November 2 | 6:30–8:00 PM | Virtual
In recognition of World Fertility Day, The Barker Adoption Foundation invites you to a virtual conversation for individuals and families exploring the many different ways to build a family.
Family building can be exciting—but with so many options, it can also feel overwhelming to know where to begin.
Where Family Begins brings together professionals, organizations and families with lived experience to help you better understand the pathways and resources available to you, including IVF and embryo options, surrogacy, adoption, foster care, family-building resources and financial support.
Through a moderated panel discussion, we’ll explore questions many prospective parents have when they’re just beginning:
- What does the first step look like?
- What should you consider when deciding which path may be right for your family?
- What should you know about timelines, costs and expectations?
- What questions should you ask when choosing an agency, clinic or professional?
- What financial assistance and other resources may be available?
- What resources are available specifically for families in the DMV?
You’ll hear both professional expertise and personal perspectives from families who have navigated different paths to parenthood, followed by an opportunity to ask questions.
You don’t need to know exactly where your journey will lead. This is simply a place to start.
Register today and join us for an informative conversation in a judgement free environment.
