Adoptive Families Magazine

Family Building · New York · Free

Magazine and online community for adoptive families including LGBTQ+ parents. A starting point for foster parents navigating training, licensure, and matching with LGBTQ+ youth in care. Foster training is free in every state and takes about 30 hours plus home study (~2–4 months total). Marriage equality made some family-building easier but second-parent adoption is still recommended for travel across hostile states. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
