Fatherhood Dreams
The documentary Fatherhood Dreams invites people into the day-to-day lives of gay dads.
The Next Family Chat Forum is an open forum for all of our hip, fabulous families to have the opportunity to chat, share stories, ask questions post advice etc. This can be anything from “what’s the best stroller out there” to “what’s the first step in the adoption process”. It is an opportunity to learn from each other and help one another in the true spirit of “community”.
Anyone is welcome in this group, it does not matter what type of family you come from as long as you support diversity in family. The home page of the chat forum will prompt you to join the group.
