I’ve updated this blog as well although it seems to be down at the moment so I can’t add the banner.

Hi,
I also have a post at my blog about our family at the following site. You are welcome to add it to your list if you would like and I thank you for having Blogging for Families Day on your site.

I plan to post this evening.

GLAD has a post for LGBT Families today.

Thanks!

I made a diary at PBH for the occasion. Thanks for making a listing of posts so I can read what others have to say!

I posted on my blog to support Blog for LGBT families.

Voilá, Child of the Week.

As my high school biology teacher always said: Better late than never (but better yet never late).

My link to my LGBT family post is here:

[Apologies in advance for poor writing and cheesiness.]

One of my cousins is a lesbian and I’ve known her and her partner for as long as I can remember. (As my mom’s sister is eighteen years her senior, all my cousins are in their late forties, so they have been more like aunts than cousins to me.) Although they don’t have children, over the years they have been very much a part of my life and the lives of their nieces and nephews. They are marvelous, caring people — both middle school teachers — who have always been actively supportive of my life and dreams. During the difficult times in my life, they were always there for me. They were the ones I could talk to at family parties — unlike my aunt, who would either be completely ignoring or disturbingly doting on me, depending on my weight; my second cousins, who were much younger than me and spent the entire time with the toys and games they had brought with them; or my uncle, who would only seem to consent to talk to my dad and otherwise make random crass remarks. I owe a lot to them — especially the thought that extended family can really be a loving support network.

I believe that any couple, regardless of sexual orientation, who want to provide a loving and nurturing environment for children, their own or adopted, should be not only allowed but encouraged to do so. I feel that, should I come to a point in my life at which I decide that I’d like to raise children, I should be allowed to. Regardless of whether that will ever happen, it should not be barred from me because of my sexual orientation.

I did it.. not much, but I did it.

We’re happy to participate! I’ve written about our ‘alternative lifestyle’, whatever that may be.

Thanks…this is just great!

I’ve included the link on Myspace, too!

Homestudy finished last Friday.
We were matched with a birthmom this Friday. Baby born today.
We are amazed.
