This group is to serve the unique (and non-unique) needs of GLBT parents to support one another through sharing stories, advice, and encouragement. Whether you are a parent, considering parenthood or in the process of becoming a parent, this group is for you.

As a lesbian mother of an adopted special-needs teenager and step-mom to my partner's three kids, I'm aware of the need for conversation and support. As a Unitarian Universalist minister, I am hoping to facilitate gatherings that provide that support. Groups will be held according to the needs and availability of members. Please join us!
