Do you?

Alternate heading: “Everything You Need To Know About Donor Sperm But Were Afraid To Ask”

Sperm, sperm, sperm…it causes lots of problems if mishandled but it is, of course, a building block to creation so there is a pressing need for it…especially if you don’t have any on hand.

Family Equality, the non-profit organization with a “mission to advance legal and lived equality for LGBTQ families, and for those who wish to form them, through building community, changing hearts and minds, and driving policy change” understands that for some couples (mostly female/female), sperm can be tough to come by. To that end, they’re hosting a clinic next Tuesday, August 20th at Gay City’s Calamus Auditorium to answer all your questions about:

• Working with known and unknown sperm donors
• At-home insemination
• Medical procedures
• Legal musts and must-not’s

There will be trained professionals to answer all of your questions:

Faculty:
Kristin Kali – MAIA Midwifery and Fertility Services
Angela C. Thyer, M.D. – Seattle Reproductive Medicine – Fertility
Caleb M. Oken-Berg – Skellenger Bender
Scott Brown – California Cryobank
Facilitator: Amanda Winn, Family Equality Council’s Chief Program Officer

The event is free but please register prior to attending…go HERE to do so.
