Our Adoption Anniversary
It's been a year since we officially adopted our boys (i.e. stood before a judge who signed the documents) and almost two and a half years since they joined our family.
I've never blogged about our adoption story. I've blogged about older child adoption, mused on things as a parent, and given my opinion on a number of adoption-related events, and issues, but I've never related our story.

Get comfortable.

My partner and I are a same-sex couple. We've been together for...

Barnes & Noble Reinstated My Profile!
Well, I'm not exactly sure what made them change their minds about my profile, but Barnes & Noble reinstated it. Yay!
If you're unaware of what happened, see my previous post.
After posting about it, I had amazing support from so many people, and some fabulous letter writers over at Goodreads came to my aid. You're my knights in shining armor! Thank you all for you amazing support! I can't tell you how much it means to me!!

Is Barnes & Noble Homophobic?
I have an author profile up at Barnes & Noble to help sell my book, The Second Coming. Take a close look at this picture and tell me what's wrong with my profile that Barnes & Noble decided that it shouldn't be viewed by the public.
The text for my profile reads as follows: Indie author, adoptive father of 3 boys, manager of chaos, science and technology geek, person of the queer persuasion, and purveyor of sacrilege. I can be found online at: http://davidhburton.com
