Los Angeles

We'll meet at the Westin in Pasadena (click for directions) to meet and share in large and small group discussions, on November 5, 1-4:30pm.

cost: 40.00

The Choice Mom networking events are all about coming together as a unique community of like-minded women on the journey of building a family ourselves. We talk with each other about dealing with stress, how to talk about this choice with others (including our children), choosing donors and adoption agencies, juggling work and social with single parenthood, making contact with half-siblings, and much more.

Conversation moderators will include:

• Carla Pedrussian, Choice Mom and representative of long-time sponsor California Cryobank
• Dr. Quintero, highly recommended Choice Mom fertility specialist and sponsor from C.A.R.E. Fertility.
• Long-time Choice Mom-friendly therapist Carole LieberWilkins, MFT, of
  Reproductive Medicine and Family Building Options.
• Choice Mom and therapist Felicia Shamma, who will help us discuss grief, loss and making contact with donor siblings.
• Family law specialist Rose Kesten, who has a personal interest in the Choice Mom journey.

Thanks to sponsorship by California Cryobank, women who use self-parking at the hotel will receive a voucher at the event for free parking. They will also continue their practice of offering a free vial of sperm in a drawing at the event for anyone in the Trying stage who attends.

Light refreshments will be served (veggies, chips, fruit, brownies).
Waiting list for childcare.
Questions: ask Mikki, your host, at info @ choicemoms.org.

Said one former participant: "The first event I attended was truly what helped me make the decision to move forward and take the leap of faith in my journey. It is also where I learned about the Cryobank and my options in selecting DNA, so I have very fond memories of attending. I was (and remain) very impressed with all I've learned from you over the past couple of years."
