Single Prospective Moms

Creating a family as a solo parent can be both an empowering and a solitary experience. This group will bring together strong, amazing women to share hopes and fears, dreams and desires.

Whether you are currently inseminating, in the process of adoption, or weighing your options for how to become a parent, this group is for you.  Come join with other women in the process of welcoming a child into their lives, find a community of support with others on the same path. This group will be a familiar touch point as your journey unfolds.

Support Group for Parents of Gender Variant Children

Are you raising a child who does not fit within the expected gender norms, who prefers to wear the clothes of the “opposite” gender and be called by the “opposite” pronoun? So are we. We share with one another and help the world become a safer place for our children. We currently meet in Oakland.
