Today on the podcast we will be discussing a super important topic! Gena (pronounced "Jenna") Jaffe is a mom and lawyer. She and her wife did reciprocal IVF for both of their kiddos - her wife's eggs in Gena's oven. While Gena is a lawyer, she came to learn that there are so many steps involved in the parenting process for a lesbian couple so Gena created a business to help educate the LGBTQIA+ community. Her new business, Connecting Rainbows, is an organization that helps those in the LGBTQIA+ community start, grow and protect their families by offering legal and fertility resources. They provide a directory of attorneys, fertility clinics, surrogacy agencies, and a blog and vlog to learn from real families and experts. You can find her at connectingrainbows.org.
