Congrats, I am glad all is well with the “thingy” and Heidi.

Remember this John, no one picked Heidi for you. Love is a wonderful thing and we all pick our significant others for our our reasons.

No one told me to marry my wife. We found one another and have 2 wonderful boys.

Your pain and hurt over not being able to adopt was real. But would that pain towards “Harry and Henry” been the same if it was “Harry and Michelle”? If not, than I think you have some deep seated issues that need to be looked at.

You do not know “Harry and Henry”, you do not know what kind of life they are providing for that child.

Cole slaw will….., never heard of it.

I loved your blog today, getting ready for the baby. I am so happy for the both of you. To be honest, I honestly do not think you should wait to find out if it is a boy or girl. It takes about a second in a half to say, boy or girl. So, it really is not that exciting. And I can attest that Heidi will not care at that point if she had a litter of puppies, much less a baby boy or baby girl. We never knew, just had a good old guess. They have all this technical stuff now, but when I was having my four babies, nothing except some old wives tales that we either right or wrong LOL.

Keep smiling John, give my best to Heidi and the baby.

There are in fact many, many people in this world trying to keep gay men and women from adopting. In my mind, it’s a wonderful miracle to see a gay family, given all the homophobia and hatred out there. It’s impossible for “out” gay people to adopt from most foreign countries, and the forces of hatred in our own country keep trying to make it even harder for a gay couple to do a domestic adoption. But WHY should the young male couple in the hospital have less right than you to adopt? I can understand being angry that you were refused, but why assume that you have more right to adopt simply because you’re straight? Loving parents come in many forms.

Glad to hear that all went well with the Scan. Please do not get worried about all these “well intentioned” individuals with their two-cents worth of horror stories. Take everything in, sift it, keep the grains of sand that remain which make sense.

Pregnancy is a happy time and you should not have to second guess yourselves before doing anything and not enjoy the occasion. You are both bright individuals and will be able to know what is right or wrong in a situation and act accordingly.

Enjoy this pregnancy for what it is and through the love you possess all will go well. It is great that you want it to be a surprise and we too will be waiting with baiting breath for May to roll around and join you in the surprise.

Take care guys and relax!
