Rainbow Families of Illinois is a non-profit, community-based organization that includes lesbian and gay parents and their children and those considering parenthood.

The mission of Rainbow Families is to build and maintain a strong and caring community, recognizing the broad diversity and varied interests among our families.

We are committed to protecting the right of LGBT people to raise children with love and integrity in a culture of justice, respect and belonging. In promoting the well-being of all of our families, we sponsor social, educational and advocacy programs for adults and kids of all ages.
