There's no one right way to build a family.
Becoming Parents puts the people with answers in one room, for a full afternoon, for free.
Here's how the day runs:
12:00 – 1:00 · Lunch — Come hungry. Lunch is on us, at round tables, so you can meet other people doing exactly what you're doing before anything formal starts.
1:00 – 1:45 · The Panel — Moderated conversation, questions chosen in advance from what registrants told us they actually needed to know.
1:45 – 2:15 · Legal Session — A family law attorney on what actually protects your parentage in Missouri and Kansas. Everyone stays in the room for this one. It matters no matter which path you take.
2:45 – 3:15 and 3:30 – 4:00 · Breakout Sessions — Two rounds, two rooms each round. Smaller groups, panel providers, and room for the specific questions you didn't want to ask in front of eighty people. Go to two. Go to whichever ones you're curious about — you do not need to have your path picked.
2:15 – 4:00 · Resource Tables — Open all afternoon in the hallways. Attorneys, agencies, clinics, doulas, social workers, therapists, and more — all vetted, all in one place, all yours to talk to on your own schedule.
Free to attend. Lunch included. Made possible by our sponsors and by the Modern Family Allys who fund this work every month.
