Celebrating Pride Month

LGBTQ+ Family Building 101

Monday, June 15 at 6:00PM

Join us at Illume's Norwalk office with Dr. Mark Leondires and Dr. Laura Meyer, who will walk through the full range of treatment paths for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, including IUI, IVF, reciprocal IVF, donor conception, and surrogacy.

Darren and Marty, two Illume dads who built their family through surrogacy, will also be there with their son Colton to share what the process looked like from a patient's perspective.

Food and drinks provided, followed by an open Q&A. Registrants receive $100 off their first consultation (new self-pay patients only).

Built With Love

Illume's founder, Dr. Mark Leondires, grew his own family through egg donation and surrogacy, which informs everything from how our staff is trained to the way each patient is treated from the first phone call through the day they bring their baby home.

When Dr. Leondires went through the process himself, he found very few resources designed for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples building families. That led to the creation of Gay Parents To Be, Illume's dedicated LGBTQ+ resource hub.

Because our commitment to the community is rooted in lived experience, inclusivity is never an afterthought at Illume — it is woven into every interaction, form, resource, and treatment pathway.
