The Equality Network is hugely grateful to Heather Walker for all her work in compiling and editing ‘LGBT Pathways to Parenthood,’ to everyone who generously shared their personal stories, and to LGBT Health and Wellbeing , LGBT Youth Scotland and Maclay Murray & Spens LLP for their support for this project.

The book would not have been possible without the support of Jane Carnall, Esther Paterson and Jules Barnes. Many thanks also to Becky Kent for setting up this web version of the book.

‘LGBT Pathways to Parenthood’ was compiled by Heather Walker in memory of Stuart Niven.
