Lambda Families of NJ 5th Biennial GLBT Family Conference

This coming Saturday, October 22, Lambda Families of NJ is hosting their 5th Biennial GLBT Family Conference at Montclair State College. It is a chance both to learn and socialize with other LGBT-headed families. There are workshops for parents, those planning on becoming parents, kids 8 to 11 years old, and kids 12 and over. (Families with children 1 to 7 years old can take advantage of on-site professional childcare.) Workshop topics include legal and financial planning, strategies for working with schools , adoption, assisted reproduction, surrogacy, the current political environment in NJ, explaining how your family was created, general parenting skills, a multiracial-families panel, a panel of teens from lesbian- and gay-parented families, and more. Joan Garry, former Executive Director of GLAAD, is giving the keynote address.

This looks to be fun, interesting, and informative. If you’re in the greater NJ/NY area, you may want to make time to attend. If you’re not, you can at least be pleased that such events are taking place.
