Building your family

LGBTQIA+ Resource Pioneer: Mombian.


Listen Later

Dana, and her partner Helen, started their family building journey three decades ago, when building a family as a lesbian couple was even more difficult than it is now.  

 
You will be amazed to hear about their journey and the lengths they had to go through to have a child.  Fortunately, they were focused on their goals and values and Helen supported Dana in her part time hobby which is now largest queer family resource hub I know of.
 
Their story, and Dana’s organization, Mombian, is a wonderful and inspirational example of how, even when obstacles get in your way, you can put one foot in front of the other and make amazing things happen.
