The “Exploring Paths to Parenthood” group is an 8-week experience that will provide information from legal, financial, fertility, surrogacy, adoption and medical experts, as well as emotional, social and community support around becoming a parent. Speakers will include professionals and current LGBTQ parents. Participants will finish the eight weeks with a sense of their options, how to navigate the process as an LGBTQ person, and connections with those on a similar journey.

Therapy Center of Philadelphia’s (TCP) group, Exploring Pathways to LGBTQ Parenthood, is an information support group for lesbian, gay, and bi cisgender women and transgender, nonbinary, and gender expansive folks of all sexual orientations. We hope to return to our in person activities next summer.
The group for queer, gay and bi cisgender and transgender men and non-binary folks is currently looking for a new home. If you have ideas for us or want to get on the waiting list for when it is ready, please email Stephanie@phillyfamilypride.org. In the meantime, please consider attending our conference at USciences where there will be multiple sessions on adoption, fostering and surrogacy offered.
The TCP group will include discussion of pregnancy, prenatal and postpartum care, adoption, fostering, and surrogacy. The group for queer, gay and bi cisgender and transgender men and non-binary folks will focus more on adoption and fostering with info about surrogacy available as well. Transgender, gender queer, non-binary and other gender expansive folks are invited to choose the group that seems best for them.
Cost for participation for the full 8 weeks for both groups is $125 per individual for Philadelphia Family Pride members, or $165 per individual for non-PFP members. Those not already PFP members can join on our web site. There will also be a $50 intake session fee for both groups.
