Track This!

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

In 2006, I became somewhat engrossed in the travels of two friends at Hitch50.com. Ever since, I have wanted the ability to transmit my location from my cell phone.

Heroes

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

Not many people have real heroes in their lives. No, Britney doesn’t count.

I am fortunate to have several heroes in my life. James is of course one of my heroes – for the choices and sacrifices he has made in his life, and for the ways he deals with adversity as well as in our day-to-day lives.

Two other heroes of mine are our dear friends, Bobby and Ian. They announced a year ago that they were planning to adopt a child. They have spent a great amount of time, energy, money and effort to make this dream a reality. Navigating the path to parenthood is not easy for any same-gender couple. While James and I have both undertaken significant challenges in our lives, for a variety of reasons I’m not certain I’m up to task to take on the adoption process. Bobby and Ian have done it well, and their efforts should pay huge dividends.

Give their site a look and, if you’re so inclined, perhaps you might create a link to their website. This will help get their site noticed more by mothers searching for adoptive parents.
