Description

You are creating your family. You may not know how (or with whom) quite yet, but you are on your way.

Conceivable: A Guide to Making 2SLGBTQ+ Family moves beyond the birds and the bees to consider the politics, challenges, choices, and opportunities for agency and joy involved in 2SLGBTQ+ fertility, conception, and family building in Canada. With contributions from healthcare workers, mental health professionals, and support people in the field of reproductive health and 2SLGBTQ+ sexual care, this book is an honest and thorough look at growing your family.

Conceivable is for birthing parents, non-gestational parents, families seeking a surrogate or donor, and those who do not yet know what they need. With illustrations, worksheets, and activities to help you think about the intimate questions of communication, relationship building, and community, this guide will prepare you with the knowledge you need to navigate advocacy, rights, and regulations.
