Adoption Network

Family Building · Maryland · Free

Resources for adoption including LGBTQ+ inclusive agencies. Useful for trans people preserving fertility before hormone therapy or surgery. Most LGBTQ+ family-building orgs offer free consultations and connect you with affirming attorneys, agencies, and clinics. 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+ Maryland residents and the people supporting them.
