Hi, my partner and I are wanting to start a family and we were looking for a support group in Glasgow but so far we haven't found any. We'd be interested in talking to any gay parents, or couples thinking of becoming parents, in the Glasgow area who would be happy to share their experience and give us any advice. Thanks!

Sorry if this is intrusive, but would any Scottish mums be up for talking about the challenges facing lesbian couples who plan to - or already have - a family. I'm looking for a couple to come onto BBC Radio Scotland tomorrow morning. if you would be happy to speak to me could you call on 01451 422 6721?
thank you, karen

Hello:

I am Dr. Marco Antonio Rios, I am currently a posgraduate student at Glasgow University. I am conducting a dissertation study about homoparental families. I found your group online and I would really like to have the opportunity to contact some of the parents that attend to the meetings.
The study includes a survey/interview with the parents about their general opinions about LGBT parenthood and is completely anonymous.
Being a gay man in a committed relationship with future plans for adoption I know this is a delicate subject but I also know there are not many groups like yours in Scotland so I would really appreciate any kind of help you can provide, being the contact details of agreeing parents or maybe the opportunity to introduce myself in one of your meetings.

Hoping to hear from you soon.

Kind Regards.
Dr. Marco Antonio Rios.

Me and her indoors have a wee one who has just turned 2 last week and have another on the way. Going to email my email to be added to the group. Have loved reading the thread and just joined so i could post this. Its nice to know of all the families out there like mine.

ScaryFairy28 · 02/12/2011 21:54

It does but it's now private so pm me your email address and I'll get you added. If one of the other ladies hasn't already been in touch.

Hi all. I tried to get on to the facebook page which had apparently been set up for Glasow gay mums but the link was invalid. Does one exist?
Thanks!

LouGlasgow · 11/11/2011 11:48

Wow - there has been so much activity on this page - I hadn't realised!! That's great that you have been checking is SF!! We have had one successful meet so far and one planned for this weekend. We have a Facebook Page (called Gay Mums Scotland) - it's a secret group as some of the mums were concerned about having their names linked to it and the kids safety comes first - so you can't search it - but if you PM me or ScaryFairy28 we can add you to it :) I've also set-up a generic email address [email protected] if you want to make contact with the group and aren't on facebook.

ScaryFairy28 · 09/11/2011 20:00

Thanks for the though MI maybe best to PM me if folk want added. If I've missed adding anyone please PM me lala I'm having trouble adding you but will try again.

motherinferior · 05/11/2011 10:30

Hi you lot - just to say I think it is not a madly good idea to have your email addresses out here on the interweb (not because you're lesbians, just for general privacy reasons!) so can I suggest you ask to get them deleted and/or pm each other? MI

Hi, my partner Angela and I would like to join in the group we are just about to start IUI at the royal infirmary and would like to meet other couples who have similar stories and children.

Thanks

Wow - hello all... its great to see there is life out there! :)
I live in Glasgow and have two children of 6yrs and 4 yrs. I tried to find a group when I returned from Glasgow (having been abroad for a few years) but was unsuccessful. Edinburgh Rainbow Parents meet regularly at the LGBT centre there but in Glasgow it remains difficult to make contact, in my experience.
I would LOVE to meet up with other lesbian/gay parents in and around Glasgow. Was there a get together organised in the summer?
I clicked onto the Facebook link but its not working.
Anyway, if anyone is really interested I would like to try and organise a day one weekend if its not already in operation.
All the best,
redhare

greenghirl · 25/09/2011 19:08

Hi everyone.
My girlfriend and I are currently not parents but we are looking for advice and any information from lesbian parents who have already gone through the different processes to conceive or adopt their kids.
We'd just like some information for the future so we know what to expect and what we are looking towards.
In Glasgow we can't seem to find much support and we don't currently know any gay parents.

Thanks :)

ScaryFairy28 · 27/08/2011 18:49

Mad - I'd pm Louise if you haven't already the meet up is arranged but not passed.

Can't help with how friendly Glasgow is but we haven't had any issues in Dundee which I find is usually a bit behind Glasgow.

I have a whole day to kill myself with dd in Glasgow on saturday any ideas what we can do? Thinking shopping and riverside museum or will it still be really busy?

Alamedian · 21/08/2011 07:38

Hi there my wife and I are currently living in California, although I am originally from Glasgow. We are planning to move back to Scotland with our 4 month old daughter and I was just wondering how gay life with children is? Is it accepted for the most part? I have been living in California ( San Francisco) for 17 years . Any info would be greatly appreciated!

MadsnLen · 19/08/2011 23:04

Hi All, Did you guys organise a meetup? If there is another one we would love to come. We have a son 21 months old and moved to Glasgow a couple of months ago. We're in Parkhead and don't know anyone here so if there is a lesbian parent group please let us know when and where. Thanks!
