The 11th annual NYC Men Having Babies conference took place on November 15, 2015, at the JCC Manhattan, also a co-sponsor. Over two hundred and fifty parents, prospects and professionals enjoyed 11 hours of educational programs. More than 25 clinics, agencies and community organizations exhibited at the expo, hosted breakout sessions, and offered on-site consultations. MHB provides unparalleled opportunities for any gay person considering having children through surrogacy, to get unbiased information, access a wide range of relevant service providers, and connect with others going through the process. Special afternoon programs included a comparative panel about parenting options in the USA, Canada, and Mexico, a roundtable about surrogacy ethics, and several in-depth panels including insurance, budgeting, and psychological aspects. Proceeds from the conference benefited the organization’s Gay Parenting Assistance Program.
