http://thmiii.com/media-admin.php Please welcome guest blogger Nina, from Queercents! “The family is one of nature’s masterpieces.” – George Santayana We’ll blink and find ourselves at the two year mark.

Send a little love over to Chris (and her partner Susan) at Not the Mama. Susan had a very bad ultrasound on Thursday and is taking cytotec to help her body deal with the not viable embryo. So sorry for your loss, friends, and I hope the next insem turns […]
Because I’m lazy, this post is, as usual, cross-posted over at Round is Funny. [Background: When you decide on an open domestic adoption, one of the things you have to do is put together a family album (or profile) that describes who you are, your life, your community, your family, your […]

She’s particularly interested in interviewing folks, among others, who used assisted conception because they are in a same-sex relationship. If you’re up for talking to her, you can email her at thetowncriers@gmail.com and she’ll send you […]
Recently, it’s been hard for me to concentrate about anything except money, and finances, and our future. So instead of writing about something “new,” I’m going to let you in on some of the things that have been keeping me up at night. Now, I’m not a stranger to being […]
