Building Families

Supporting Family-Building & Removing Barriers to Parenthood

For many women, the dream of building a family can be fraught with challenges, including infertility, limited support for adoption, and financial constraints that make family-building seem out of reach. These obstacles not only place emotional and financial burdens on individuals and families but also highlight gaps in our society’s support systems. At First Rights Global, we believe that every woman deserves the resources and support necessary to pursue her family goals, and we are committed to advocating for comprehensive, life-affirming solutions that make motherhood accessible and attainable. 

One significant area of support is fertility assistance, including ethical practices in in vitro fertilization (IVF) that respect life at every stage. Many women turn to IVF and other fertility treatments as a last resort, only to face high costs and challenging ethical choices. By promoting policies that limit the creation of surplus embryos and provide support for ethical practices, we can help ensure that women receive fertility treatments that align with their values. Countries like Israel offer a promising model by subsidizing IVF for citizens, showing how proactive policies can reduce financial barriers and provide real support for families facing infertility. Adopting similar measures would help countless women achieve their dreams of motherhood without the overwhelming financial burden. 

In addition to fertility support, First Rights Global advocates for reforms that make adoption more affordable and accessible. For many women, adoption represents both a life-giving choice and an opportunity to build a family, but it often comes with high financial costs and complex legal processes. Simplifying and subsidizing the adoption process—while ensuring the highest ethical standards—can give more families the opportunity to grow through adoption, providing stable, loving homes for children in need.

Our holistic approach to family-building also includes reducing financial and systemic barriers to motherhood. This involves advocating for policies that offer comprehensive support, from fertility assistance to adoption incentives and financial resources for expectant mothers. We believe that empowering women with these resources affirms their dignity and autonomy, allowing them to make life-affirming choices for themselves and their families. 

By removing financial and logistical obstacles, we aim to create a culture that honors and values every stage of family life. In the end, First Rights Global’s commitment to family-building is rooted in respect for life and a vision of society that uplifts women and families. Through advocacy, education, and supportive policy, we are working to create a world where every woman can pursue motherhood without facing insurmountable barriers—a world where family dreams can be realized with dignity, support, and hope.
