We know that not all families or prospective families will fit into the five models we list as the main ones. Don’t worry, we have a wide variety of different family situations in our membership so if you don’t fit those we may still be able to offer you support.
As a first step, do have a look at the content in the other family sections (single women, heterosexual couples, single men, same-sex couples) because a lot of that content will overlap in terms of decisions and feelings, whatever your particular circumstances. Find the one that matches closest, or review a few of them to find information that’s relevant.
If you’re thinking of joining as a member, our current active membership changes over time. We can’t guarantee we have an exact match for you but our membership has included transgender couples and members who are in larger parenting groups of perhaps 3 or 4 parents (for example, a two-dad family with a surrogate who is also going to co-parent). If being able to connect with someone in a similar situation is an important part of membership for you, do get in touch before joining and we can confirm if that’s going to be possible or not.
Some of the issues you are facing may be different and require additional details and thoughts. Over time, we will be expanding this section to include more information that is specific to different family formations to cover this gap. And if we aren’t able to offer what you’re looking for we can often signpost on to other organisations or resources that can.
Join our community of 2000+ donor conception families and prospective families and find support, information and community.
