Hacking the System—How to Make the Fertility Industrial Complex Work for Your LGBTQ+/Solo Parent Family

Join Marea Goodman, LM, CPM (they/them), queer parent, midwife, and the founder of the PregnantTogether community, to explore how to hack the system when it comes to growing your LGBTQ+ and/or solo parent family.

So many queer folks and solo parents face barriers when accessing care through fertility clinics— from not qualifying for insurance coverage due to relationship status to navigating the confusing (and homophobic) healthcare regulations regarding known donors to accessing medications, many people in our communities face barriers at every turn.

Marea Goodman, LM, CPM (they/them), is a licensed midwife and published author with expertise in supporting people through conception, pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Marea has over ten years of experience working with pregnant people, and is also a parent of three. They are the founder of PregnantTogether, an online community supporting queer folks and solo parents throughout trying to conceive (TTC), pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting, and the co-author of Baby Making for Everybody—Fertility and Family Building for LGBTQ+ and Solo Parents.

MORE ABOUT PREGNANTTOGETHER:

Hi! I am Marea Goodman, LM, CPM (they/them), a licensed midwife, published author, and parent to three kids (who are currently 3, 6, and 13). I have over thirteen years of experience working with folks who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant, and am also the founder of PregnantTogether— because I’m deeply passionate about supporting queer folks and solo parents through the whole process of growing their families, and building community in the process.
