Reasons Why Gay and Lesbian Couples Interested in Family Building Should Attend the Family Planning Expo

Online, April 27, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Boston, MA - In a social event that is aimed to be both educational and informational for gay couple family building, the 2010 GLBT Family Planning Expo will take place on May 20th at the Boston Winery in the Dorcester waterfront.
"This event is unique in that it has conveniently gathered dozens upon dozens of resources to assist the GLBT community. From options on how to build a family to counseling to financial planning to real estate, it's one of those rare, great opportunities to get expert advice from a variety of sources." claims Medical Director for BostonIVF, Michael Alper, MD .
Some gay and lesbian couples have children by means of assisted reproductive methods such as gestational surrogacy or sperm donor insemination. Although, the steps may at times seem somewhat overwhelming, the end goal of same-sex couple family building is more attainable than ever.
Dr. Alper further states, "Having assisted GLBT individuals and couples to become pregnant for over 25 years, I can attest to the important role family and friends play. So to have a resource like PFLAG -- that not only educates but also connects and supports -- is immeasurable."
Lesbian couples are able to access sperm donors and fertility services while gay couples can effectively use egg donor programs for surrogates. Boston IVF aims to make the family building process as enjoyable and stress-free experience as possible.
Now more than ever, the choices are plenty for GLBT couples (same-sex) seeking to have children and enjoy the life that parenthood brings to couples. The dream of building a family for everyone is accessible.
