My husband and I were lucky enough to be a part of a very exciting documentary, debuting on June 24 - Conceiving Family.

Conceiving Family takes us inside the lives of five gay and lesbian couples who show the bravery, determination, and humor it takes to rise above the legal systems, societal prejudices, and personal fears inherent in starting a family through adoption.

Does anyone know of any good blogs for waiting families?

I haven't posted in a while, but things are still the same... still waiting. The wait starts to make me think that there is something wrong with us and that no one that has seen our profile likes us for some reason or another. I know it's not personal, but that is just the way my mind works. Not sure if we should look at other avenues to start our family...?

Everyone says that when the right situation comes along, no matter how long it takes, it will all work out. It is easier said than done.

That is all for now.

Sperm donation is the endowment by a man, known as a sperm donor, of his sperm, (donor sperm), with the intention that it will be used to infuse a woman who is not usually the man's partner in order to produce a child. Pregnancy can be achieved using donated sperm by artificial insemination (either by ICI or IUI) and less commonly by in vitro fertilization (IVF).

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is artificial fertilization of human egg cells by sperm outside of the mother’s womb; commonly known as test tube baby. A successful procedure needs to have an approved sperm donor so that the egg can be infused with In vitro fertilization in a liquid medium inside a glass tube.

So, in the time that we fled Massachusetts and I was forced to make the choice between my family and my career, I have taken time to look at the list of things we all have in our head which I call my ”Ought-a”, I ought-a do this, I ought-a do that...but I never have the time.

Gay and lesbian couples now allowed to adopt in New South Wales

Submitted by prideangel.com on Sat, 09/11/2010 - 9:30am

Gay and lesbian couples are finally allowed to adopt in New South Wales, Australia, after it was first proposed 10 years ago by MP Clover Moore.
The bill to allow same-sex couples to adopt in New South Wales, Australia, has narrowly passed in the lower house.

It passed a vote 46-44 last week, and after amendments were made, passed 45-43.

The bill was introduced by independent MP Clover Moore, who agreed yesterday to insert a clause allowing faith-based adoption agencies to discriminate against gay couples.
