Hi to all
We are a lesbian couple with one daughter, Sarah, from brisbane and we are looking to meet other couples like us. (with or without children). We never really did the scene thing so we dont have any gay friends and we would like it if sarah could meet other families like ours.
We would love to chat :hello:

my email addy is belinda_runciman@hotmail.com if you would like to have a chat.
brisbane pride festival is next weekend will you be there? have a good week
Hi Belinda
Glad to hear you are feeling better now.
I was very sick for the first 19 weeks - by then i was starting to show and was really enjoying pregnancy. At 28-29 weeks i got high blood pressure and started to swell and I was hospitalised and Sarah was born (via c section) at 30 weeks.
She was tiny but so perfect and now is a happy, active and loud 3 year old.
Unfortunatly we won't be at pride next weekend due to prior engagements but our email is jblee8278_bigpond.com (that email is connected to messenger so you can contact us on that if you are connected too.)
Have you picked out any names for your little man?
How far along are you?
Chat soon I hope
Belinda and Jeanette

Hi Girls,
My partner (Belinda) and I are planning to start our family next year and are keen to chat to you all about the process and options. We have done a small amount of research but there is nothing like actually chatting to others in the same boat.
We live in Paddington, Brisbane at the moment.
Hope to chat soon!!

Hi Amanda
You're certainly in for a thrill ride. (Lots of ups and downs).
My partner (jeanette) and I have a three year old daughter and we are trying later this year for a sibling for her. We are using an unknown donor at the queensland fertility group. They are lifesavers :)
If you ever want to know anything about the process or the fertility group (or which doctors to go to) i would be happy to have a chat.
You can email me at jblee8278@bigpond.com
Good luck
Belinda :)
My partner and I have been together 11 and a half years and we are expecting our first next Feb (fingers crossed as it is still early days).
We are in Bray Park on the north side of Brisbane. If a Brissy get together is on the cards, we'd love to join in. Or if the Sunny coast ones are going ahead, message me please.

Hey... I'm lesbian but not in a relationship - can I play too?
I'm TTC as a solo parent - 2nd cycle with an unknown donor in November at QFG. I'm near Caboolture/Redcliffe - northside Bris.
Would love to meet other lesbian mums or mums-to-be... Even if I am the odd one out!

My partner and i had a 4 year old daughter Phoebe and are hoping to use IVF to conceive a brother or sister for her next year and would love to find some friends and have a chat about parenting in a same sex relationship and even just have someone to talk about who has a similar dynamic :) We are in north brisbane and really would love to mee some other same sex families...

Hi MummyMummy
We are the proud parents of a 5yo girl and a 5mth old boy (the first conceived by insemination and the second via IVF) and we really love the age gap :)
We would love to chat and meet more like-minded people. My partner and I are on the south-side of Brisbane.

Jess, Susan and Phoebe
I mentioned both and I've just seen you respond to both on FB and Yahoo, so no need for confusion :)
Hi everyone,
My name is Jinda!
I finally found a place where I can speak to other gay & lesbian parents or soon to be parents!!! so happy!!
My partner & I live on the Gold Coast & really want to become parents.
We have been looking through all of our options & Mikkis brother even said he would donate his sperm to me so it can have both of our blood.
We are still thinking about our options & really would like to know everyones experiences & stories
so any one please let us know your stories!!!!
Look on FB for "Same-sex parents" we're mostly Brisbane-based. Lots of info on there - post again if you can't find us :)
Thanks heaps for that!
I just really wish i knew more lesbians on the gold coast or brisbane area lol
Hope all are well :)
Hi Jinda
Would be happy to answer any of your questions :)
You can contact me on my email jblee8278@bigpond.com
My partner and I used an unknown donor through a fertility clinic (the same for both children)
We don't know many other same sex couples either but are very open to meeting more :)
The Facebook group is almost all lesbians, despite the name :)
Hi Mikinda,:
I know this is an old post, my partner (31) and I (25) are a lesbian couple from the Gold coast and we will begin TTC this month. We are using Queensland fertility group at Pindara, they have been fantastic and the process has been smooth and simple.
We had considered using my partner's brother as the donor but decided to go with an unknown donor from the US as we felt it was a safer option legally, we are lucky enough not to have any objections from her family regarding the child not having a genetic link to her.
We will be TTC using IUI at the end of the month as I have no known fertility issues, the specialist is very confident and says I am a perfect candidate for the procedure. My partner and I are so excited and cant wait until we start trying I hope the next couple of weeks fly past.
Feel free to ask any questions I will try and answer what I can.
Good luck
Erin
Hi Mikinda,
My partner (31) and I (25) are a lesbian couple from the Gold Coast we will start TTC this month. We are using queensland fertility group at Pindara they have been great and really easy to deal with, the whole process has been smooth and stress free.
We considered using my partners brother as the donor but decided against it and used an unknown donor from the US because to us the cost of donor sperm $950 was a small price to pay for piece of mind in regard to legal rights of the child. We are lucky enough not to have any concerns from her family in regard to the child having a genetic link to her as I will be carrying.
Our fertility specialist will be doing a natural IUI cycle with me later this month, which is great no drugs or hormones as I have no known fertility problems, my scan was great and he says I am great candidate for the procedure. He is extremely positive about our potential for sucess.
Feel free to ask me anything you like and I will try and answer they best I can
Good Luck
Erin
Hi there, just did a hunt for this group and had no luck. Could you pm me an URL? We have two boys 1 & 3.5 and we are moving to paddington in brissie from Melbourne next month. Very excited to have a warmer winter and a bigger backyard! Very keen to join in on any playgroups/meetups that are happening. Any info /links would be much appreciated.:
I think it'll be among those Indadhanu is giving you from the other thread, I don't go to that one any more as they are mostly friends with my ex.
