Workshop 70: Relationships at Risk: Securing Legal Ties between Children and LGBTQ+ Parents
Now is the time to protect LGBTQ+ families. Parentage, a legally recognized relationship between a child and their parent(s), ensures that children can maintain critical bonds and access numerous protections. In this workshop, presenters will discuss paths to LGBTQ+ parenthood, the US patchwork of protections, and current efforts to protect LGBTQ+ families. Presenters will discuss the benefits of secure attachment and intersections with the family regulation system. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the legal risks LGBTQ+ families face and steps to protect children and parents.
