188: Start, Grow, and Protect Your LGBTQ+ Family with Gena Jaffe, Founder of Connecting Rainbows

Written By Rhodes Perry

Gena ("Jenna") Jaffe is the Founder of connecting rainbows - a national LGBTQ+ database connecting individuals and families to lawyers who specialize in family formation and estate planning as well as provides fertility resources.  The overarching theme is to start, grow + protect your family.  As a lawyer, mom and member of the LGBTQ+ community, she saw a huge need for this service after learning that so many people struggled to find lawyers who knew how to handle the specific needs of the community - especially after Amy Coney Barrett was appointed to the Supreme Court.
