No matter what, your daughter is going to have two terrific mommies who travelled a long journey to meet her.

You must have a whole conservatory of butterflies in your stomachs today. She's going to be beautiful and so will all of you as a family! I can't wait to see your pictures if you choose to post them.<BR/>By the way, I think you were right before- there is a particular type of person you were speaking of, and the homophobe you were responding to at Name That Mama definitely fit that type. It can be difficult, as I have met (a few) anti-choicers who are supportive of GLBT rights, but it is hard not to distrust because usually the two go together, along with support for the death penalty and unregulated guns. So, anyway, I hear you. Your daughter will be so lucky to grow up with passionnate, thinking moms.
