The Monthly Support Group, lead by Patricia Mendell, LCSW, is dedicated to helping families formed through egg/sperm/embryo donation and surrogacy, create healthy and lasting connections.  

Everyone has a unique Story about their family. For parents planning to disclose, telling the Family Story can seem overwhelming.

We will discuss:

  • The importance of language in the disclosure story
  • Latest research on children and families
  • Age appropriate books for donor offspring children
  • How to answer questions from your child and others
  • How to begin “The Talk”
  • How childrens’ questions change over time
  • What to tell siblings

Date:  Third Wednesday in every month - Beginning November 16th
