Family Equality
Family Building · Vermont · Free
Advances equality for LGBTQ+ families through advocacy, support, and legal protections. Worth contacting before starting fertility treatment to understand insurance, costs, and legal protections. Second-parent adoption typically takes 4–8 months and costs
,500–4,000 depending on state. About 25% of US foster youth aging out identify as LGBTQ+ — there's particular need for LGBTQ+-affirming foster families. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
