About Us: An LGBT Family Planning Project

Hello! My name is Gavin and along with my wife, Laura, I started Queer Family Planning Project to help people like us start families. 

I am a Trans man, so when we decided that we wanted kids, we had to take a nontraditional approach for Laura to get pregnant.  We were very fortunate with the first go-around -- Laura got pregnant from her very first insemination and then came Finnegan! Our insurance at the time covered all the costs except for the donor sperm. 

This time around, however, we have not been so lucky. Being put face-to-face with the financial reality of paying out of pocket to have a child made me want to start QFPP so that others don't have to face that reality alone. 

This nonprofit was created to help other LGBTQ folx start their own families after my wife, Laura, and I faced numerous obstacles while trying to have our second child.  From trying to avoid unnecessary testing, to attempting to jailbreak our donor sperm, to the COSTS of everything all of this entails, it became frustrating and disheartening.  No one should have to jump through the hoops that are in place just to have a child.  We are here to help alleviate some of these costs for you.
