We’ve defended ourselves, defended our choices, defended our lifestyle, defend…defend…defend. It’s part of the reason that the first few drafts of my initial post came off so angry. I worry about my children and whether or not I am putting them in a position that will cause them to have to constantly be on the [...]

We did a brief stint as reality tv stars and consider ourselves to be semi-famous (we were recognized twice as the result of appearing on Lifetime’s One Born Every Minute) so we have no problem disclosing some of the rather intimate details of our relationship with others.  However, having been “out” for over a decade [...]
