You two have the strength, love, level headedness, and an entire level of dedication I can only imagine and hope to emulate. The whirlwind of your lives makes ME yawn. I think anyone who feels the need to judge fails to take into consideration the many many people who are unprepared and unwilling to give their kids the type of life that you two give yours. You have your lives on the right track and seem to face challenges with vigor. I admire you both and wish you the best. Those babies will revel in your strength and thank you one day.

I was raised in a Christian home yet rejected by my family. I live in Florida and so desire a church and pastor that will guide me. I hope I can find one like you. Do you know of any churches in the florida area? I am too embarassed to ask people. I have visitied a few, just not happy with their style. Thank you for your answer.

Sarah, there are no follow up shows or magazine articles at this point. There was some interest by Discovery Health for a follow up show several months back, but nothing ever panned out. Lule... I do believe in God. Martha and I were both raised Catholic. We would like the children raised with religion. I think it's important. We have found an affirming church where we live and will probably join that one. The kids are just a little young to bring them right now. Kind of wild and crazy!!

Do you believe in God and how will you explain to your children about having two moms? So many churches, priests and pastors have hurt us. I want to raise our children with God. Do you have any associations with someone to share with? I know some churches are affriming- I am looking more for someone to talk with.. Thank you for your openness to share. Love your story.

I'm very interested in follow-up shows or magazine articles, in case anyone asks you. PS: Where can we follow along with the kids’ developments?

I hope you, Martha and the kids have not been hit by the flu. Our kids are on their second go-around and it's only November! Thanks for answering my question. I may have more in the future. Bless you all, Sarah Karen:

Martha and I were both listed on the birth certificates at the time the kids were born. But just to make sure that there were no loopholes we also went through the court system and formally adopted each others kids. I did not have to adopt Andrew and Sienna since I was their birth mother. Thank you Eve and Sarah. Martha and I were both listed on the birth certificates at the time the kids were born.

I assume you needed to formally adopt Alex and Sophia and that Martha needed to adopt Andrew and Sienna. Legally, were you considered a surrogate of the kids you carried? Did you also have to formally adopt Andrew and Sienna? I'm fascinated in all the legalities involved in this wonderful situation. (I'm a little surprised that this wasn't addressed in the People issue.) Thanks, Sarah Hey, Karen: Please let me know if this is none of my business.
