MHB - Men Having Babies Supporting current / future gay parents and surrogates with 6 annual conferences worldwide & financial support through the Gay Parenting Assistance Program
(1)

This is an online forum for for people who were touched by, and benefited from gay surrogacy arrangements -- including gay dads and their families, surrogates and their family members, egg donors, and the professionals who help facilitate the process. The forum is managed by Men Having Babies (MHB), and the initial group of bloggers come from our network. MHB offers guidance and financial assistan

ce for gay men who want to become fathers through surrogacy. The organization organizes seminars, exhibits and workshops for parents and prospective parents in NY and other locations worldwide, and provides financial assistance and extensive online resources. Given our core values and mission, here are some issues we will pay attention to:
- Financial: while this may be a growing practice, surrogacy is still very expensive and financially out of reach for many. We feel this should be not just noted, but also combated (which the organization does through financial assistance and other means).
- Relationships: we believe surrogacy arrangement are more successful when attention is given to the meaningful relationships they can bring about.
- Well being of all parties: we believe that attention should be given to the way surrogacy arrangements should minimize the risks and maximize the potential short and long term benefits to all involved- including the surrogate and donor, their families, the prospective parents and the future children.

Congratulations Delaware 🎉
Delaware's Gov. Matt Meyer signed legislation modernizing the state's parentage laws, expanding legal protections for children and families formed through assisted reproduction, surrogacy, donor conception, and other paths to parenthood commonly used by LGBTQ+ people.

We would also like to congratulate our longtime community partner, COLAGE (Children of Le****ns and G**s Everywhere), for helping advance this law. Learn about the work of COLAGE https://www.colage.org/advocacy

The updated Parentage Act aims to ensure children have legally recognized relationships with their parents regardless of biology, marital status, or how their families were formed.
