gay fathers

Well we are fast approaching the middle for July and it is almost as if I can see the summer slipping by. The field behind the house was hayed yesterday. The process began in the early morning with the hay being cut, laid to dry in the sun, was tetted and then raked and baled by sundown. It is just before sun up the following morning and a gentle rain is falling on the field and I can now clearly see where the corn has been planted for silage for the fall.

Well it is approaching April and we headed to the Beach House last night. The sleepy New England beach town is still covered in snow and the yard I thought I would be able to get cleaned up is far from awake. The boys slept longer than usual as did I. I always sleep better up here with the ocean air less than 2 blocks away.

RE: Open call for voluntary participants

Understanding the unique plight of the gay father – his journey through traditional marriage, and his courageous decision to embark on the path of “coming out” and redefing his family – a team at NaniLoaFilms is putting together a documentary for festival submission.

If I start this now perhaps by the time I am finished, it will just be a retrospective posted on NYE. There is a lot of reflection going on in my head these days and there is a lot more that needs to be done. I am sure that as usual the process of writing will help in the “processing” of all of the information and incidental facts and situations resulting in lessons and something I can look back on and say “OH! Is that what I was supposed to learn”.

It has been a wild ride since I last wrote anything substantive.  The boys are upstairs watching a movie and I am in the living room trying to think all of what is running through my mind as I am cooking a turkey.  We were at my parents for Thanksgiving but I cannot live without leftovers and soup and Turkey pot pies so the boys and I are having our own dinner today.So, we finalized Bryce’s adoption in May and that was all said and done.  I launched into the summer with 2 kids and new central air conditioning.  Well the installers screwed up the installation and as a result that unbeknow

When you signed on to be a gay parent, you knew you would have to education straight people on a regular basis. That was part of the deal. But you probably didn’t consider how often your child—even your very young child—would have to educate others on your behalf. But when you least expect it, a stranger will pat your child’s head and say, “Your mom and dad must be so proud of you!” and unless you’ve prepared your child, he or she won’t know what to say. So follow these simple steps:

Every parent experiences the mind-numbing exhaustion of raising children. It may be, however, that gay male parents succumb to the exhaustion more dramatically and often than straight or lesbians parents. Some researchers have theorized that over millennia of procreation, humans developed a Parenting Stamina Gene (PSG) that becomes activated in both men and women by the tidal wave of hormones released at puberty. These researchers speculate that in gay men the PSG fails to activate.<!—break-->
