| Introduction | A midwest boy who was born and raised in St. Louis, MO. I left for 9 years and lived in Cincinnati, OH and Portland, OR. I moved back to St. Louis at 26, met my partner (Lawrence) 7 months later, and we just celebrated our 5 year anniversary in April 2008. On March 15, 2008 we became foster parents to my partner's nephew, William. It feels like the beginning of a new adventure and I felt like our journey should be documented, the good, bad, and funny. |
