Out on a ledge for date night

This picture, “Top of the Rock. Date Night!” was submitted by longtime LesbianFamily.org lister gal Shelli, who writes about her beautiful NYC family at Hydrangeas are Pretty. A new baby brother has just joined the family, and big sister Malka is “smitten”! Go on over and give ‘em all congratulations.
If you photograph [...]

The web-encrusted LesFam listings update (2 of 2)

And by “web,” I don’t mean the world wide kind. More like the spider kind. This second batch of phenomenally late updates has only been in the queue since mid -October! Only four and a half months! The other ones, well. Picture the inside of Miss Haversham’s house, from Great Expectations. That’s what [...]

The long-awaited LesFam blog listings update (1 of 2)

Alrighty then! The update that most of you have been waiting for, so long you stopped waiting! So huge, it had to be divided into two parts! Part the 2nd to follow in a few more days, after I plow through the second half of backlogged listings requests.
Since June of last year, [...]

Boo!

Aaak! Last time I posted here was August 5th, well over three months ago. Back then,

The economy hadn’t gone to h-e-double toothpicks in a handbasket.
The anti-gay marriage and anti-gay foster adoption initiative battles hadn’t heated up to the roiling boil that totally cooked those of us in the affected [...]

At long last! Our new listings since, oh, June

Ahoy, and apologies!  An egregious gap has yawned between the last update and this one, explained only by the same old same old: too many kidcare duties, not enough time to spread around.  Which lament many of you either know first-hand, or are working hard so’s to know before too long.
A bunch of new listings have [...]

Watch this space for actual news, soon!

Ha! Thought we’d all wandered off for good, huh? Well pert’ near. Pride month is one thing; I can imagine taking that one off, like the French take August. In a belated nod to that celebration, we have the image at right: “Party A” and “Party B” at San Francisco’s Pride celebration practically a month [...]

Blog listings since like a month ago

Ahoy, sisters!
Pour yourselves a cup of your favorite hot (or cold) beverage, pull up a laptop (or a monitor), make sure someone’s got your back (or butt) covered for the next couple of minutes, and get ready to meet a bunch of new friends.
It’s been an entire month since I’ve been able to [...]

LF blog listings updates for the week of April 14

Since you all keep growing here, as a community, and/or your evolving family-making and -raising stories migrate your blogs from one “category” to another, I’m thinking this simple update will be a regular feature. So long as the wee chunk of time it takes continues to make itself accessible.
Also, since no one called [...]
