Family Equality Council Library
Family Building · New York · Free
Family Equality's resource library for LGBTQ+ family building. For LGBTQ+ individuals and couples building families through adoption, foster, surrogacy, IUI, IVF, or co-parenting arrangements. Second-parent adoption typically takes 4–8 months and costs
,500–4,000 depending on state. Reciprocal IVF (one partner provides eggs, another carries) is increasingly available and many states now require coverage. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
