The AFA LGBT Professional Network

The American Fertility Association (The AFA) believes that the road to parenthood isn’t always straight.

As the nation’s leading patient advocacy organization, The AFA is dedicated to educating and supporting all men and women concerned with family building - including hopeful lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) parents.

The AFA’s LGBT Professional Network is comprised of two main sections: one for patients seeking referrals, and one for professionals with inclusive businesses that serve the LGBT community and wish to advertise those services.

For Patients:
Patients find the medical help they need in many ways, but unfortunately many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) patients still have difficulty locating health care and legal professionals that are sensitive to the special needs of the LGBT community who are seeking to build a family. To make this process easier, The American Fertility Association has developed an LGBT Professional Network.

This resource includes information about physicians, nurse practitioners, complimentary care providers, surrogacy, egg donation and sperm donation agencies, adoption agencies, lawyers, pharmacists and other professionals committed to assisting those in the LGBT community to create family and to deal with reproductive challenges. This directory will continue to grow, so please check back often!

Disclaimer

Please note that the information in this network does not constitute a recommendation to consult any specific professional. Although The AFA makes every attempt to keep the information on members accurate and up-to-date, The AFA cannot attest at all times to the accuracy and completeness of the information provided.  This information is provided for your reference, however, the responsibility for choosing a professional and checking their credentials to practice must remain that of the patient.
