NEW YORK, Sept. 29, 2008 — 7.3 million American women have difficulty conceiving and need help starting a family. The numbers may be just as high among men. A woman's fertility begins to decline in her mid 20's and men follow ten years later. Oftentimes when a couple first finds out they're facing these challenges they're unaware of the options available.
The American Fertility Association brings you Family Matters NY 2008, October 5th, at Steiner Studios in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. This annual, day-long conference brings you everything you need to know about trying to conceive or wanting to adopt.
A faculty of experts has been assembled to make sure that participants receive great value for their time. Panel discussions have been added, so that participants have the opportunity to hear from and ask questions of multiple health care professionals in most of the sessions.
Family Matters NY 2008 has a limited supply of tickets and booths for sale. Thanks to a generous grant, 25 scholarships are available to cover the $40 registration fee for those who would like to attend but are having financial difficulties. To apply, submit your request to Email or call 888.917.3777.
An exhibit hall will feature companies providing the most up-to-date information available to support your family-building journey. The day starts off with a continental breakfast and wraps up with a wine and cheese reception. This venue also gives you a unique and valuable opportunity to interact with others who are experiencing the same challenges in a beautiful setting. Steiner Studios is on the waterfront in Brooklyn and has picture windows overlooking New York City.
All those who are interested in family building – young, mature, gay, straight, single, married or partnered – are enthusiastically invited to attend. Whether you are just beginning to think about family-building or actively trying to conceive or considering adoption – Family Matters NY is for you.
