Reslve does monthly educational meetings, they have lendin library. There are therapists who run groups. They do annual fertility and adoption conferences. Sam's birthmom and I are speaking at the next adoption conference next month. They have phone buddies who are volunteers with a particular dx who give moral support. Then there are the "cookies and Conversation" groups. These are peer support groups designed around particular infertility issues. My dh and I have one that is adoption related, there are ones for general IF, donor issues, IVF ect. Sort of like these bbs only in person.

As a member you get access to the national organization that lobbies for bigger issues (insurance coverage, adoption tax credits ect) The thing that was most helpful to me when I was still ttc was being able to call the national ofc and talk to a medical professional for advice at different stages of our treatment. In short a great organizatiion.
