Family Equality

Why We Like It

Family Equality is the essential first stop for any LGBTQ+ person or couple considering parenthood. Its combination of peer-reviewed educational content, a curated provider directory, and powerful community advocacy makes it the single most comprehensive free resource available for LGBTQ+ family building.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Unmatched breadth of educational resources covering every LGBTQ+ path to parenthood
• Family-building directory helps connect users with vetted, affirming fertility clinics and attorneys nationwide
• Policy and advocacy work actively fights legal barriers that affect LGBTQ+ families

Cons

• As a nonprofit directory and advocacy org, it does not provide direct clinical services
• Resource quality and depth varies by geographic region in its provider directory

Score Breakdown

Resources and providers were evaluated on genuine LGBTQ+ inclusivity in practice, documented outcomes and program depth, quality of support through the family-building process, cost transparency, and the breadth of educational resources offered.
