The fair will feature representatives from various queer affirming fertility assistance spaces, law offices that specialize in LGBTQ+ family building, medical practitioners and lactation consultants who specialize in working with the Queer community toward family building and human milk feeding, representatives from potential sperm banks, birth workers who specialize in working with Queer families, representatives from various human milk donation resources, and representatives of queer supportive adoption agencies. The event will offer a platform for attendees to engage with various representatives through panel discussions and health fair type booths of information, among other activities. Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions in a public Q & A and also engage in general Queer community building activities.
