The Ins & Outs of Queer and Solo Parent Family Formation

Join Marea Goodman (they/them), a queer midwife, parent, and the founder of the PregnantTogether community, along with Rachel Wiley, a midwife at Millie. Together, they will guide a conversation covering topics from choosing a donor and insemination methods, to navigating the rollercoaster of creative family building, ensuring you find the support you truly deserve.

Marea Goodman, LM, CPM (they/them) is a licensed midwife specializing in caring for the LGBTQ+ community from pre-conception into the first year of parenting. A graduate of the National Midwifery Institute, Marea has been licensed by the California Medical Board since 2015. Marea is also the founder of the PregnantTogether Community, a vibrant online community supporting queer folks, solo parents, and anyone who has ever felt different through TTC, pregnancy, postpartum and parenting. Marea is the co-author of the book, Baby Making for Everybody—Fertility and Family Building for LGBTQ+ and Solo Parents (touted as the What to Except When You're Expecting for non-traditional families). What they are most proud of is getting to be "mommy" to their three amazing kids.

Rachel (she/they) is a board certified Nurse Midwife and Women’s Health Nurse practitioner whose experience in the realm of sexual/reproductive health spans several specialties, including birth work as well as postpartum and fertility nursing. They have been catching babies and providing perinatal services to birthing people in the Central Valley for over 2 years and are excited to be part of the Millie team, thus bringing their work closer to their Oakland home. They are passionate about queer and trans health, both in times of family-building and not, and believe we all have a right to quality care, no matter our gender, presentation, or sexuality.Hosted by PregnantTogether founder and licensed Midwife, Marea Goodman.
