Gay Parents To Be | May News

Hi there,

I don’t know about you, but I’ll say it - I’ve officially lost track of time. What day is it? What month is it? For those of us who are fortunate enough to be sheltering in place or WFH, we know that it’s important to celebrate any and all special moments - like Anderson Cooper’s birth announcement.😭😍

For any essential workers out there - thank you for all that you do, each and every day. When you’re done with work today, celebrate Friday night with this list of LGBTQ shows to boost your spirits. 

On my list of other mood-boosters this month:

📺This Entertainment Weekly ”Pride Forever” cover, created in collaboration with LGBTQ illustrators, in honor of LGBTQ Hollywood icons. I spy Kate McKinnon!

🏆Speaking of Kate McKinnon, remember her amazing Golden Globes speech honoring Ellen’s influence? There’s the Friday morning motivation we’ve been needing!

👢These boots (that) are made for walking…around the apartment. One of the more lighthearted things I look forward to during pride month is the colorful explosion of rainbow products from all kinds of brands - but I get especially excited about shoes. This article highlights what some of your favorite footwear brands are releasing to celebrate pride - plus, the ways that they’re giving back to the community. Whether you’re more excited about boots, sneakers, or socks because #stayathome - there’s something for everyone here.

Speaking of quarantine...we know that this is a stressful time, but please know that if or when you’re ready to family build, we’re for you. If you're wondering what getting started would look like at this point in time, check out this blog on LGBTQ fertility and COVID-19, or our guide to the first steps of family building.

And if you've already begun to start your family - congratulations! We'll do our best to keep you updated, with the latest information about coronavirus and your cycle.

If you're a parent-to-be who is currently building your family through Gay Parents To Be and RMACT, remember to bookmark this page for practice policies and updates.

🗓️ Why did I even buy a 2020 calendar?...
