LGBTQIA+ and Adopting: What Are My Options?

Are you a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and want to know what pathways are available to you to grow your family? Adoption offers members of the LGBTQIA+ the opportunity to create their own forever family. In fact, there are multiple adoption pathways available, including private infant domestic adoption as well as international adoption from specific countries.

Join Spence-Chapin for an informational evening to learn more about the private domestic and international adoption pathways open to the LGBTQIA+ community. While everyone’s adoption process is unique, there are some standard procedures and steps every adoptive parent must go through. Experts in the field will share information related to the ways these pathways differ, how to get started, general characteristics of children placed through domestic or international adoption and will provide supports and resources available to the community of LBTQIA+ adoptive families.

Bring your questions! We’ll save time for Q&A.
