Join us for the last workshop in our three part series on Modern Family Building. During this Zoom discussion, we will explore what’s involved in building a family through gestational surrogacy. Our panel will include an attorney, a fertility doctor, and parents who have gone through the process. The program will consist of brief formal presentations from each of our panelists followed by lots of time for questions. Depending on attendee size, we will use breakout rooms for more intimate conversation. LGBTQ and straight, Jewish and non-Jewish — are all warmly welcomed. Come prepared to ask questions, get support, and connect to other people looking to build a family.
