West London Lesbian Mums Group

[shan17]

Hiya, four families met up in Kew Gardens on Sunday, and three more families could not make it but are interested.
It was great.
I am trying to get a group going to meet once a month, so if you are interested, please email me at [email protected]. I am away Sept 29th to Oct 16th but will respond before I leave or when I get back.

Hi there, I've got a 6 month old daughter and would love to meet any fellow gay mums in the area to chat to and possibly form a gay mum baby and toddler group and website to set up meetings etc. west london

Hi, vixonb!

Don't know if you're still interested in forming a baby and toddler group, but I'd be happy to meet up and discuss - in SW London, but happy to travel. My email address is [email protected] Thanks!

Hello,

We've just moved here from the US and wanted to find other same sex families to meet up with. We are located in SW London. Is there a group that does meet on a regular basis?

Thanks,
Shannon

Hello,

My name is Charlotte and I am currently doing my Masters in Social and Cultural Anthropology at University College London. The topic of my dissertation is looking motherhood, at how it is perceived and conceptualized by lesbians. I am also interested in what the perceptions and images of the family ? their structure and organisation ? are.

Lesbian motherhood has been very rarely discussed within British academic literature and is therefore very underrepresented in the study and discussion of motherhood. I would like to change that by giving lesbian mothers the chance to voice their views, experiences, and opinions on what it means and entails to be a mother. This study will be a chance to bring about new definitions and views on motherhood.

For this project I am looking for mothers who are happy to participate in a couple of interviews ? about 1 hr in length ? and some focus groups ? also about 1 hr in length. It would also be of great value to me if I could come and simply observe during the meetings or family life. All information and personal details will be kept confidential.

Please let me know if you are happy for me to attend the group meetings and/or if you know couples who are willing to be part of this study. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me either via email ([email protected]) or phone (07513051425) or contact my supervisor Dr. Jennifer Randall ([email protected]).

Best,
Charlotte

Hi

I live in West London.

I have two kids.

I just come out to my daughter(13)...she took it I guess...ok.
But still I can see worries in her eyes thanks to their father way of thinking and talking.

I would like to meet other parents.

WHen are you having next meeting?

Hello everyone,

Lots of activity in this thread, but not necessarily recent...Quite a few lesbian mums out there it seems.. My partner and I are having our first baby at the end of September - has anyone got any meetings planned in the future?

Thanks lots,

Hello,

This is the first time that I have been on this website, and I must say how warming it is to know that there are many lesbian families out there! My partner and I have been together for almost five years and we are having a civil partnership in December 2013. We want a family and have been looking into ways to go about this, covering all areas available to us. We are slightly overwhelmed with the options, and whether they will work. I have been meaning to join this site to look for other lesbian/bi couples who are starting with their own families, or indeed thinking about doing so. Is there anyone out there closer to Clapham?? Otherwise would love to meet groups in South West London...is the group still meeting at Kew Gardens/Ealing area?

Thank you and take care
Anna

Hi,
I would also be keen on joining the group. I have a three month old boy and live in ealing.

Hi. I live in Pinner and would really like to expand my 'local' social network in terms of weekend time with a just-turned-seven daughter. More adult time in the evenings would be a welcome addition! Anyway. Anything planned?? Thanks.

Hi,
Just to let you know, I have recently started a social networking website for LGBT parents lesbiangayparents.ning.com where we can chat on the forums etc and we also arrange meet ups in various places. Oh, and it's free for you to use. :)
