statistics on gay adoption...

name bank...

The following is being used as a 'place holder' of names that we have come across that have caught our attention. Some are creative, while others are out there with Gwenyth's 'Apple'. I feel like I need to place a disclaimer for some of you (and you know who you are) saying that just because the names are listed here, doesn't mean these are names we are serious about. Instead of collecting these from you all in emails, napkins, post-it notes, bill envelopes, etc., I've decided this was the best place for it... I mean, this is a baby blog, right?
