My wife and I are ready to have kids. Like, so ready, we talk about it all the time and are getting ready to put our nursery together. We have our color palette picked out and a theme for it. I'm going to carry and I've wanted this for so long. A friend of ours is going to be our donor, and we're going to get all the proper legal paperwork handled to ensure everyone is clear on it. That part isn't stressful.

It's the getting pregnant part.

I'm trying to find an obgyn that is open minded and man is it hard! We just moved to a new area, so I asked a friend to suggest who she uses. She did and the practice seemed great....until I went to their about me page and saw quoted scripture. I know that religious people can be accepting, but I've had bad experiences in the past and just don't want to take the risk. Unfortunately, they're the biggest one in the area.

I've reached out to a few other places and let them know of our situation (lgbt couple seeking pregnancy) without hearing back. I know I could call, but I get super anxious just thinking about having to hear them decline us as patients. Naturally, none of the practices include anything lgbt family planning related in their services section, and all pictures are straight white couples.

It's tiring and makes me sad and anxious. And I just needed to vent. Luckily I found an obgyn in the nearby city who is also lgbt, so hopefully we can use her for our needs. Thanks for listening to the vent.
