Family Building Panel in Chicago | Surrogacy, IVF & LGBTQ Parenthood Event

You don’t want to miss this.

If you’re exploring surrogacy, IVF, egg donation, or alternative paths to parenthood in Chicago, a Families Out Loud panel is designed to give you the clarity and community many intended parents are searching for.

These events bring together Chicago as well as national fertility experts, surrogacy professionals, reproductive attorneys, and real parents who have navigated the journey themselves. You’ll hear transparent conversations about the medical, legal, financial, and emotional aspects of modern family building — including what the process actually looks like in Illinois, one of the most surrogacy-friendly states in the country. 

Whether you’re a single parent by choice, part of the LGBTQ+ community, navigating infertility, or just beginning to research family building options, this event offers a rare opportunity to ask honest questions and hear from professionals and parents who understand the path.

At a Families Out Loud event, you can expect:

• Expert insight from Chicago and national fertility specialists and surrogacy professionals
• Real stories from intended parents and families who have completed the journey
• Guidance on IVF, egg donation, gestational surrogacy, and fertility options
• Connections with others exploring family building in Chicago and the Midwest
• Practical resources to help you understand your next steps toward parenthood

More than anything, these panels create what many intended parents are looking for most: community and clarity.

Because building a family can feel overwhelming — but it doesn’t have to be something you navigate alone.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
