Category: AdultsMeets the 2nd Wednesday of every month at BAO, 5:30 - 6:30. â Everyone can use a helping hand and supportive community. Gay dads are no different. Itâs no secret that coming out -- to yourself, to your children, to family and to friends -- is daunting and emotionally challenging. But you are not alone. From discussions that outline what to expect in the adoption, foster or surrogacy process, to social gatherings that bring LGBTQ families together, there are resources aplenty at BAO. No matter where you are on your fatherhood journey, youâre welcome at BAOâs newest support group for gay dads. Join us on the second Wednesday of each month for support you in the path that you believe is right for you. BAO is a safe space for everyone. All discussions at our support group remain confidential.
