Family Equality Council Library

Family Building · California · Free

Family Equality's resource library for LGBTQ+ family building. Useful for trans people preserving fertility before hormone therapy or surgery. Fertility preservation (egg/sperm banking) is best done before hormone therapy; insurance increasingly covers this. Marriage equality made some family-building easier but second-parent adoption is still recommended for travel across hostile states. Open at no cost to LGBTQ+ California residents and the people supporting them.
