Testimonials

“Mama Dragons made an immediate connection for me to other parents that had more experience & education that I needed to be able to support my kiddo safely & quickly!”

Chrysteil, Washington 

“My sweet baby is transgender. Mama Dragons has been lifeline for me and a place to be a lifeline for others. It would be beautiful if our babies got to just let us know and we celebrated and moved on; however, such is not the case. Here I am safe to have questions and safe to have my own feelings. I get answers and information and a “hug.” This group has meant so much to me that I am trying to grow it down in New Zealand where we immigrated earlier this year. Moms helping moms is how we change the world for good!”

Lindsay, New Zealand

“Mama Dragons has given me a place to share the love I have for my kids, their friends, and all those needing a little more love and support every day. These ladies wrapped my baby dragon in love, hugs, and encouragement during a rough time and I can’t thank them enough! I’ve always been an Ally, but through this amazing group I have been able to lend support, take and give advice, and grow new friendships each day.”

Tricia, Illinois

“Mama Dragons has given me a safe place to find loving support and advice. There aren’t a lot of people around me that understand what not only my kiddo is going through, but also what I’m going through during this transition. It’s been amazing to have a group of moms who are judgement free and lift you up.”

Rachel, Oregon

“As the Mom of a transgender child I needed to find information quickly in a safe place. Mama Dragons has a wealth of information from wise women who have walked this path. I have felt loved, supported and have learned how to support my child and others.”

Sanja, California

“When I found out my 3rd pregnancy was twins, I knew being pregnant and then raising 2 kids at once would have unique challenges and was able to find a support group for twin moms. Similarly, when my child came out to me I knew there would be unique challenges to parenting an LGBT child. Unfortunately support was harder to come by, especially since she wasn’t out publicly yet. Finding Mama Dragons was like an oasis in the dessert. They offer support, education and friendships that have helped me rise to the challenge and love all my kids more fully.”

Melissa, Georgia

“Mama Dragons gave me a community of support from other Mamas who understood my journey as a mother of kids who are LGBTQ. When I was struggling and hurting, they understood my heart. When I am joyful and celebrating, they joyfully celebrate with me!”

Heather, New Mexico
