Sara is the good-looking one on the right and Erin is on the left. The founding stones of our village were laid in MI; however, we have planted our roots in WI for the time being. Our friends and family helped us ratifiy the village during our commitment ceremony, December 31, 2004. We are now looking to add to the population of our village but have found it necessary to add many many other people to the village before we can get our first citizen...our baby.
...just to make the child! We are a committed couple trying to create a child to raise in our loving family. The conception process for a lesbian couple can only be defined as a group effort. We have doctors, nurses, x-ray techs, donors, donor lab, fed ex, Walgreens, Clear Blue Easy, Dixie cups, friends, family, lawyers, and so on and so on to rely on for the success of this expansion. So...it takes a village to make the baby, let alone to raise it! A was born April 18, 2008
