From Chosen Family to Lasting Future: A panel on family building, legacy, and financial vision

About This Session

Building a family as a queer person comes with a unique set of decisions — legal, financial, emotional, and logistical. This panel brings together professionals who have navigated surrogacy, adoption, co-parenting, and other paths to parenthood alongside the financial planning that makes it all possible. From estate planning to insurance to the cost of assisted reproduction, this is a practical and personal conversation about building the future you want.
