We need more publications and all sorts of research to look into gay adoption. <br /><br />I'm glad to read that my blog has given you hope and thank you for your lovely words. They mean a lot!<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />FernandoFernandohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12674911856704842493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965761185285396888.post-3631392057769336972009-05-05T17:04:00.000+01:002009-05-05T17:04:00.000+01:002009-05-05T17:04:00.000+01:00Dear Fernando and Glen,

My biggest fear was that while theoretically the rights to adopt existed, same sex couples were still discriminated against in practice.<br /><br />Your blog really gave me new hope that things are getting better and that law reform can facilitate social acceptance.<br /><br />Apart from that, your blog is simply heart warming to read. You both seem to be a lovely couple and I'm sure you'll be wondeful parents. I was so happy to read you got approved and hope you will be matched very soon. Please keep us informer, as I feel many people feel connected to your yourney (the same way I have become).Natalienoreply@blogger.com
