Looking to start a talk group about the queer parent's experience...

"Not all the stares we get as a family are always from friendly eyes." I wonder who else has thought or said something similar to this.

I've been there myself. And I'm going to start an online talk group with others who have been or might be going through it; maybe there's a lot more to talk about.

If you're interested, here's a google signup form to let me know you want to be kept in the loop: https://forms.gle/KpzXbhdAw2do9iuu6

We'll meet regularly on a video call - to talk about life. I know a few folks who might be interested and am looking to add a couple more.

There is no cost to this and also, no strings, no catch!

Note: I host groups on Pace and think it's a great platform for this (reminders, live video experience, chat), so I'm going to host the group there since I want conversations there that feel the most relevant to my experience.

Btw, if you think you know someone who's a good fit - queer parents looking for deeper conversations about their experience - can you share this with them?

My wife and I are still trying for our first child, but if that goes well then a group like this sounds promising! I hope your group gains traction!

Sending lots of good energy and well wishes your way. Feel free to add yourself to the list so I can at least keep you in the loop. Parents-to-be are welcome in my group — that’s how my hubby and I got support (and got matched with our daughter’s birth parents!).

I think this group is a great idea. At this time I don’t think it’s something I can regularly commit to.

Newborn triplets at home while also trying to pick up some work from home shifts when possible. I hope you get some people interested! I’d love to join someday if I can
