"The show has become much more than an event for finding out the best routes to becoming a parent," says Square Peg director Sarah Garrett. "It also illustrates how more gay parents are beginning to believe that they have an equal right to have a family and that it is possible. Last year, a gay couple came to the show for the third time, this time with their newly-born twin babies. They said that the show really helped them to realise how normalised same-sex parenting has become." Attendees can learn how to navigate through the alternative parenting minefield, including advice on surrogacy, fertility, co-parenting, adoption and legal information. Seminars will run throughout the day, with seminar admission just £3 per session. These will include specialists on fostering and adoption, surrogacy, IVF, co-parenting and much more. You will also have the opportunity to speak to the Alternative Parenting Show ambassadors, actors Charlie Condou and Sophie Ward, who will share their experiences of being parents. If you're seriously looking at ways to become a parent, to extend your current family, or just considering options for the future, the Alternative Parenting Show will offer a wealth of information and advice. The show, which will run from 9.30am till 5pm, costs £8 to attend.
