Our partnership with LGBT Mummies
About LGBT Mummies
LGBT Mummies provide guidance on the different family creation pathways through our website, social channels & support groups, whilst providing access to our global community to meet other like-minded families.
From providing guidance on fertility clinics & sperm banks, resources, connecting you to supporting organisations, brands, sharing studies, our private support groups, to celebrating & sharing your lived experiences & our annual events where families come together.
Whether you are thinking of starting a family or have children already by home insemination, fertility treatment, surrogacy, adoption, fostering.
Whether you’re a single parent, couple, co-parent, poly family or a stepparent, all families are welcome.
Our mission is to acquire true equity & equality for LGBT+ families to that of our heterosexual counterparts.
We passionately campaign for LGBT+ family equality & positive policy change.
We work tirelessly to inspire people worldwide on their journey, whilst working to ‘usualize’ & celebrate our families in society, in turn creating a more inclusive future for our children.
Laura-Rose and her wife have been together for 13 years and are founders of LGBT Mummies. They have 3 children and are both ‘bio’ and ‘non-bio’ mothers. As a couple, their pregnancy journeys have been difficult, navigating IVF, 10 intrauterine inseminations and a frozen embryo transfer, and sadly experiencing miscarriage. Find out more about their story.
During the couple’s 9 year-journey, they were consistently contacted by others for information about how they started their family, which prompted them to set up LGBT Mummies, as a central source of support.
We always knew we wanted children & so after we had got married, decided to discuss what options were available to us. So many questions. What ARE our options? Do we want to carry a child? Who carries? How? How much does it cost? Where can we do it? How do we choose a donor? The list of questions were endless.
Tommy's is partnered with LGBT Mummies. Their sole purpose is to support LGBT+ women and people globally on the path to motherhood or parenthood. By working together, we hope to promote inclusivity throughout the pregnancy journey and in support around baby loss.
