Maybe Babytm Class

Thinking about parenthood? Maybe Baby is a multi-week class designed for prospective LGBTQ parents, single or partnered, who are considering parenthood and interested in learning more about the options for building a family.

Learn more by clicking here Maybe Baby or go directly to the Calendar link at the top of this page. Email us if you have any questions.

In addition to the education and information you'll receive, the importance of having a safe space created by and for the LGBTQ+ community is vital.

Rainbow Families also has a New Parent Support Group, Divorced & Separated Rainbow Families group, and a LGBTQ+ Parenthood Grief & Loss. Please email us for info.

Playgroups

Rainbow Families coordinates with members to organize regional playgroups. We are always looking for members to volunteer to help organize a playgroup. In an effort to help families connect in between playgroups, we have online playgroup forums. Be sure to "subscribe" to the playgroup forum thread so you can stay on top of the latest in your area!

FALL FAMILY CAMP WEEKEND

Rainbow Families organizes a very popular camp/retreat weekend in October. Whether at a YMCA camp or a retreat center, the camp weekend is a great deal of fun for those who participate. There are constant activities for the kids, sports, arts, climbing walls and zip lines, etc. A talent show allows the kids to share their talents with the whole group. Parents usually have at least one adult focused presentation, but there is plenty of opportunity to talk with friends and meet people who are unfamiliar. Everyone has a wonderful time at these weekend events. Please see our "Calendar of Events" to find out when the next Fall Camp Weekend will take place.

Family Conference & Gathering

Rainbow Families' Family Conference is the largest gathering of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ)-headed family community in the region. Our Conference is a full day of educational and social events. We feature activities and sessions that allow LGBTQ+ families (and people considering family planning) to not only learn more about the topics that matter to them, but also to build on their own community of support.
