In Omsk a seminar dedicated to legal aspects of LGBT parenthood was open for the audience in the community center of the "Pulsar" project organization in the end of August. LGBTnet.ru reports that this seminar is a fourth one in a series of events, dedicated to the issue of parenthood among same-sex couples. On previous meetings its participants have discussed with an expert the psychological aspects of LGBT-parenting, talked about personal fears and differences between men and women in the approach to the issue of becoming parents. Some couples even have modeled up situations in which its participants tried to make a deal with a person of opposite sex to conceive a child.
More than 20 people attending the seminar have played an active role in it because everyone had his (her) own will to be present there. Some of them already have the experience of being same-sex parents, others are just planning to have a child or to get some experience in dealing with children in children hosting families, and others were merely interested in the problem of giving to LGBT families in Russia the right to become a real family - to have children.
