FAMILY BUILDING NETWORK SUPPORT GROUP MEETING Wednesday May 16, 2012 7-8:30PM



The Monthly Support Group, lead by Patricia Mendell, LCSW, is dedicated to helping families formed through egg/sperm/embryo donation and surrogacy, create healthy and lasting connections.  

Everyone has a unique Story about their family. For parents planning to disclose, telling the Family Story can seem overwhelming.


Discussions will  include:
·        The importance of language in the disclosure story
·        Latest research on children and families
·        Age appropriate books for donor offspring children
·        How to answer questions from your child and others
·        How to begin “The Talk”
·        How childrens’ questions change over time
·        What to tell siblings
