Lesbian Family Video Receives 2006 Telly Award

July 19, 2006 (Chicago, IL)

Birth Talk Productions' groundbreaking video, Mothers and Babies: Lesbians Creating Families, has won a 2006 Telly Award.

"We are thrilled to receive this prestigious recognition," says Ami
Burns, Executive Producer of Birth Talk Productions. "Winning the Telly underscores what an important issue same-sex parenting is in today's society and what a tremendous resource our video is for lesbians choosing motherhood."

Mothers and Babies: Lesbians Creating Families is the first
educational video about pregnancy, birth and parenting for lesbians. In the video, six lesbian couples share their stories with candor, humor and heart, along with expert insight from Liz Coolidge, Coordinator of Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender Parenting services at Fenway Community Health Center in Boston, Mass. It is an exceptional tool for clinics, health centers and childbirth classes as well as women who may not have the opportunity to meet like-minded families and share their questions and concerns about having a baby.

The video is in magazine format and features eight segments for
individualized viewing:

Wanting To Become Mothers, Choosing A Donor, Alternative Insemination and Conception, Pregnancy, Coming Out As Mothers, Labor and Birth, Finding Community and Transition to Motherhood.
