San Francisco-Prospective Queer Parents


A higher profile co-parenting group exists (or existed) in San Francisco called Prospective Queer Parents. The following 2004 article focuses on these relatively new arrangements in the Bay area. In the 90's they were rare, but co-parenting is now taken more seriously. The law still hasn't caught up with these 21st century families, but neither do judges dismiss co-parenting contracts as frequently. Most important is this sentence on one family comprising three co-parents --'We certainly have a lot of faith and trust in each other.' Also, good communication and honesty are a must. Much like any relationship!
Unfortunately, the group appears to be inactive--their website is not working, and I can't find any current information about them.
