| The
Third Party Parenting Network will gather again on May 8th at
7:30pm. Professionally led by Nancy Kaufman LCSW, these small group discussions have been lively, rewarding and truly helpful to those who participate. Join us to hear the experiences of others, and, if you wish, share your story and questions. First-time participants and partners are encouraged to attend. The Third-Party Parenting Network (TPPN) is a network of parents who have built (or are working on building) their families through ovum donation, embryo donation, sperm donation, or surrogacy. TPPN provides the opportunity for parents to connect, share their stories, receive support and learn from each other about the issues that are unique to the experience of Third Party Parenting, such as disclosure, siblings and genetic origins. It has been our experience that meeting regularly, over time with the same group of people builds a level of trust which enables a deeper exploration of what it is like to be a parent dealing with these issues. TPPN Spring 2012 Schedule : May 8 June 5 7:30 – 9:00 pm 1430 Second Avenue (between 74/75th St.) Suite 109 New York, NY 10021 212-772-1200 Fee: $20 per person/$30 per family |
