For queer folks who are navigating the complexities & high- stakes decisions of starting a family
Whether you're already expecting, deciding your path to parenthood, or deciding if having kids is right for you, this four-day virtual event will help you make choices that feel right for you now, and that you'll feel proud of for a lifetime.
[Date TBD]
This is for you if you are asking the
CLICK BELOW TO WATCH FIRST!
“Should I even
become a parent?”
You’re asking yourself questions like: "Will I lose myself? Will I parent like my own parents? Am I really ready?" And you’re holding those questions and pressures alongside the added weight of being queer and navigating societal pressures and systemic barriers most people never have to consider.
Yet even here, the hope and joy are alive: the vision of bedtime snuggles and belly laughs. All of it unfolds against a ticking clock — a milestone birthday, your partner’s timeline, your own body
“Which path to parenthood
is right for me?”
Donor conception. Surrogacy. Adoption. Fostering. Each one holds questions no one prepared you for. You’re navigating both logistics, cost — but also grief, legacy, and questions about DNA. And you’re doing it while navigating systems that misgender you, ask invasive questions, or treat your family like an nuisance.
Through it all, you’re still holding on to hope, to joy, to the spark of imagining your future child laughing in your arms
“How do I set up my children for a lifetime of self-worth and belonging?”
This season is tender. When you are expecting your first child — you’re in a moment where joy, vulnerability, and even grief live in parallel. You might hold deep fears about the kind of parent you can be—and the kind of world you’ll be bringing your child into. You might be sitting with complicated, unspoken feelings about donor conception, adoption, or DNA.
And you might be wondering: How do I savor this short, magical season — while also becoming the kind of parent who refuses to pass down shame and silence?
But underneath those questions, you aren’t just asking how or whether to become a parent. You’re asking how to become the kind of parent you want to be.
You want to be the kind of parent who...
Creates a home where your child feels safe, seen, and celebrated.
Role models facing hard choices with courage & complexity when it matters, not oversimplification and quick fixes.
Holds both your needs, vision and values, AND your future child’s without betraying either.
Has a deep sense of inner peace knowing that you are giving your kids a foundation for a lifetime of self-worth, love and belonging.
During the summit you'll learn how to move through high-stakes decisions with urgent timelines without losing yourself or abandoning your values.
Join us to learn from [##] queer family-building experts about making decisions you will be proud of for a lifetime.
Look for the icons to see if a talk is about if, how, or preparing to become a parent. But don't feel limited to only “your” stage — many attendees will find it valuable to listen to many different sessions.

Day 1
How to Make One of the Biggest Decisions of Your Life
Presented By Summit Host: Kay Bea
You’re asking a question most people rush past: Do I even want this?
You’ve made the spreadsheets. Written the pros and cons. Tried to pull apart desire from fear, your truth from everyone else’s expectations. You wonder: Will I lose myself? Will I parent like my own parents? And these questions live alongside the hope, joy and excitement for bedtime snuggles and belly laughs together. But you also feel the clock ticking — a milestone birthday, your partner’s timeline, your own body.
Walk Away With:
A clear vision of queer parenting as a chance to raise children rooted in truth, belonging, and deep self-worth.
Tools to support your child’s curiosity—even when it bumps up against your own insecurities
Guidance on navigating donor/biological connections without centering your fear or erasing your child’s curiosity.

IMPLEMENTATION DAY

PLUS: Limited Opportunity to Shape a One-of-a-Kind Queer Parenting Coaching Community & a Chance to be Selected for 90 Days Free
The Summit will stir up energy — questions, ideas, inspiration. By the end, you may find yourself craving the structure and community to maintain momentum and turn those insights into decisions you’ll feel proud of for a lifetime.
That’s exactly what The Lab was built for. This is a rare opportunity to join a small group of founding members who will shape the culture and heartbeat of this community from the very beginning.
Eligibility (and the chance to be selected for 90 days free) will be based on two things: your application fit and how you engaged with the Summit — in both depth and frequency.
This event isn't just about logistics
This is about alignment. We’re not here to tell you the “right” way to become a parent. We’re here to help you uncover what’s right for you.
It centers queer-specific questions, fears, and family structures. You won’t have to translate. You’ll be seen, spoken to, and supported in ways you’ve always deserved.
This is not the kind of space that tells you “don’t overthink it.” It’s built for deep thinkers, vision builders, and values-driven decision makers.
This space refuses the false binary that says you must choose between centering your child or honoring yourself. It’s built for the third space — where both your needs and your child’s future are held with care. Where choices like donor conception, adoption, or surrogacy are approached with integrity, not avoidance. Where complexity is named, not bypassed — because doing right by your child begins with being honest about what these decisions truly ask of you.
Partners:
You'll Walk Away With...
Peace of mind that your choices are grounded in your values, not someone else’s expectations.
A deeper understanding of what each path to parenthood really asks of you — emotionally, ethically, and practically. So that you can decide in integrity
A clearer vision of how you want to begin — and what you want your child to inherit.
This is a space to slow down long enough to hear yourself — your values, your instincts, your questions — and build the capacity to move forward with intention.
About The Host
Kay(she/her) is the Founder of Conscious Queer Parenting and the queer community: Alignment Practice Lab, a space where queer parents can navigate their most complex, deeply personal parenting decisions with clarity and confidence.
A master-certified Jungian life coach and queer parent, Kay has spent two decades immersed in personal development and over a decade coaching clients through major life shifts and redefining success on their own terms. Now, she brings that expertise to queer parents.
As a queer parent herself, she is particularly passionate about working with and building community with queer parents because they’ve already done the radical work of creating family beyond rigid norms.
Kay practices what she teaches, using these same frameworks in her own life and evolving alongside her clients—ensuring that intentional living isn’t a finish line, but a practice that deepens every day.
You are blazing a new trail
Not only are you unpacking what you want to keep and leave behind from your own childhood, but you’re also navigating new layers of complexity as a queer family.
You want to create magical childhoods and empowered adulthoods—without passing down the shame, silence, or fears you may have grown up with.
And while the stakes are high and you want to get this right, you don’t want to feel like every decision, every day is a test you’ll only know the results of ~25 years from now.
You want to enjoy the everyday—morning cuddles, belly laughs, bedtime stories—while knowing deep down that you’re giving them the foundation they need to thrive.
It’s about raising them with care—not just love, but the confidence, security, and belonging that ensures they carry that love forward into the world.
That’s why I created Conscious Queer Parenting & the Becoming a Queer Parent Virtual summit.
So you’re not just hoping for the childhood and adulthood you want for them… you’re actively creating it.
Do I have to attend live?
Not at a specific time — but yes, on that day. Each talk is pre-recorded and available for 24 hours only (10am–10am CST). You’ll get a daily email with links to that day’s lineup. If you want more flexibility (or to revisit them later), you’ll have the option to upgrade for extended (and early) access. Information here - [insert link to AAP]
What’s the format of the summit?
Each speaker shares a short, pre-recorded talk (15–25 minutes). You’ll get a daily email with links to that day’s talks, and you can watch on your own time — anytime in the 24-hour window (10am–10am CST).No complicated tech, just click the link, and click play on the video. That's it!There’s also a private online community (off social media) where you can meet other attendees, connect with speakers, and process what’s coming up — so you don’t have to do it alone. You will get a link to join that community as well when you register. If you have any tech qs, just hit reply and we will help get you squared away!
Is this just for queer people?
The summit is lovingly, intentionally centered on queer people and families — and designed to speak to the emotional, ethical, and structural questions many of us face on this journey.
But allies are welcome to join, and anyone living intentionally & outside the heteronormative relationship model or rigid gender roles will benefit.
What are the accessibility options?
[Coming soon]
You’ve already done the hard work of breaking free from societal expectations, choosing authenticity over conformity, and learning to live in alignment with your values. These are the very gifts you now have to offer your child—a family culture rooted in self-expression, courage, and love.
Queer parenting offers the chance to build a legacy.
By breaking generational patterns and living in alignment with your values, you create ripples that extend far beyond your home. You empower your children—and everyone they touch—to live authentically, courageously, and joyfully.
That’s exactly why this summit exists—to help you carry that intention into the big choices that will define your family’s story for a lifetime.
