    No experience in the process of adoption or fostering, but I have my fingers crossed and hope all goes well for you and your husband. :D

    Ditto this. You two could be some of the first of a new generation of gay parents to provide a loving home to kids in need, with the full recognition of the state. I can only wish you the best of luck in this endeavour. From my limited experience of seeing the adoption process in the family, I know it can be a wonderfully rewarding experience for all.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
