Creating and nurturing a family should be a personal journey for everyone. Unfortunately, families across the nation encounter challenges when trying to access the necessary rights and protections that not only allow them to form their families but also to sustain and nurture them.
At Home Insemination, we collaborate with local and national allies to reform parentage laws, maintain marriage equality, support reproductive rights—including fertility treatment and assisted reproduction—and advocate for enhancements in paid leave policies.
Current Initiatives
As part of our ongoing efforts, we are actively working on policies that support families, such as the RAISE Children initiative.
In recent news, we celebrated the passage of New Mexico’s Confirmatory Adoption Bill, which strengthens protections for LGBTQ+ families. Similarly, Vermont’s new Confirmatory Adoption Law also enhances security for LGBTQ+ households.
Addressing Reproductive Rights Post-Roe v. Wade
Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, there has been a surge of threats against reproductive rights, including access to fertility services and assisted reproduction. Understanding the implications of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling is crucial for families navigating these turbulent waters.
Securing Legal Parentage
As LGBTQ+ family-building practices evolve, state laws often lag behind. It’s vital for LGBTQ+ families to secure legal recognition, especially for non-biological and non-gestational parents. Depending on your location and personal circumstances, there are various avenues to establish or confirm parentage.
Your Story Can Drive Change!
When engaging with lawmakers, our policy team relies on the personal experiences of individuals like you to underscore the importance of reproductive freedom and legal protections. We invite you to share your family-building story to help amplify our movement for equality.
