re: #149 SanFranciscoZionist

There’s been a small trend of lesbian couples having babies at roughly the same time, which just strikes me as insane—you want to have at least one parent at any given time who’s not hormonal, lactating, or otherwise coping with serious pregnancy stuff. But the ladies who took the cake were the couple who each had twins, within a couple of months of one another.

I felt tired just reading the story in the paper.

I had twins as a single working parent but they were both six-ish when I adopted them so I skipped all the hormones, lactation, and even sleepless nights (they were champion sleepers—it was a talent fostered by their orphanage).

More on-topic, when I told my Rush-listening brother that I was thinking about adopting, his first response was “You can’t do that! Why? Well, you’d be a single mom!” His vision clearly was that I would immediately quit my high-paying job and become a welfare queen. It was just incredible. It taught me how bizarrely right-wing rhetoric can twist the brains of seemingly intelligent human beings.
