Author: Cheryl Dumesnil and Alan Shannon
A freelance writer and writing coach, Cheryl Dumesnil likes nothing more than laughing at the crazy things her kids say. Her books include a memoir, Love Song for Baby X: How I Stayed (Almost) Sane on the Rocky Road to Parenthood; a collection of poems, In Praise of Falling; the anthology Hitched! Wedding Stories from San Francisco City Hall; and the anthology Dorothy Parker’s Elbow: Tattoos on Writers, Writers on Tattoos, co-edited with Kim Addonizio. When she’s not writing or teaching, Cheryl’s hiking, yoga-ing, begging her children to stop the potty talk please, or trying to toss pop flies, without tearing her rotator cuff. Check her out at CherylDumesnil.com.

This is beautiful!
Yeah, but isn’t this from that NYT piece that persistently FAILED to include a lesbian perspective? Or have I completely lost it?
You’re close, Shelley! LesbianDad ran it with her awesome response piece to the Orenstein NYT article on assisted reproduction & donor eggs/sperm: http://lesbiandad.net/2007/07/19/its-all-relatives/
The picture is her beloved.
Now that’s a sign of arrival! A picture I couple with a post is mistaken for a bona fide NYT staff photo. Now if only my letter to the editor — a vastly condensed version of that post — could have made the cut as a bona fide published letter. Tha “adoption” angle critique (they’ve trod that path, too) got the ink.
That’s really beautiful.
