is Glamcookie around? Or anyone else who might want to talk to me about same-sex parents being required to adopt their children to obtain legal recognition of the parental relationship?
Just saw this. We are in the midst of the adoption process now, even though Shane was conceived after we were legally married in CA and DW is listed on his birth certificate. Weak. It will be a step parent adoption. DW has to get finger printed. Did I mention how WEAK this is?
In terms of resources, I don't have any. It took a long time to figure out if we needed to do the adoption since we are legally married. We were told we should do it because they don't know what would happen if her rights were questioned - it would be new territory.
It's complete BULLSHIT that you and L have to go through this. Adopting your own child is 7 layers of bullshit. It's not cheap, either, I am guessing. So once again gays have to go a thousand rounds to do something everyone else takes for granted.

Something must smell really alluring in one of Anna's plants. Loki is hellbent on jumping the rail and while he didn't quite growl when I pulled him out of the pot, it was pretty close. I yelled at him and he whined.
Dinner was a mushroom, onion and ginger empanada and steamed skinny asparagus. Nom.
Mmmm. I've been eating a frozen pizza all day, and I'm going to regret that tomorrow when I don't have it anymore.
This is random: The guy who won the marathon yesterday set a new record. The guy who had the previous record? Same first and last names, and middle initial. No relation.
That is weird. It reminds me of high school when we had 2 kids (a few years older than I) who were both named "Jason Parker" with the same middle initial. So they were known as Jason Parker A and Jason Parker B. Jason Parker B was always in trouble and getting called to the office on the morning announcements.
I wonder if there are still morning announcements?
My dad went to school with a guy with the same first and last name, and one middle initial the same (my dad has 2 middle names.) The guy was a year younger. Even freakier, once he grew up, the guy bought the house right next to my grandparents, and they sorta became surrogate family (we gave his wife my grandmother's wedding ring when she died.)
I had the call-to-the-office mixup in middle school.
I'm assuming Cheruiyot is a common Kenyan last name...
