Recognizing that the path to parenthood isn't always straight, The AFA is committed to providing resources for LGBT persons and couples who are interested in becoming parents. Though The AFA has always been an inclusive organization, we recently "formalized" our inclusive approach by providing a dedicated section for LGBT concerns.

Currently, we offer the following resources to address LGBT issues:

Online Community

If you are looking to connect with other LGBT persons or allies who are interested in family building, post or read the entries in the LGBT Message Board.


The AFA LGBT Professional Network

Are you interested in finding health care professionals, attorneys, and agencies sensitive to the needs of the LGBT community? Then check out The AFA LGBT Professional Network.



Support Our Efforts

If you're interested in supporting our commitment to expand this area of the website and to produce additional materials, we invite you to become a member of our LGBT Leadership Circle.


Fact Sheets

If you are looking to connect with other LGBT persons or allies who are interested in family building, post or read the entries in the LGBT Message Board.




Be sure and check back frequently for updates as we continue to build this section.
