I’ve written many times before about why second-parent adoptions are still a good idea, even if you are married and both parents are on the child’s birth certificate. Another case in the news this past week reminds us why.
Vloggers Ebony and Denise, a two-mom family with three kids, have had one of their videos sponsored by Campbell’s V8 +Energy Drink—and it’s a cute one.
I’ve been posting about court cases for a couple of days, so let’s make this a legal-free roundup that focuses on personal stories.

The picture here shows a delicious chocolate cake. Here’s the recipe—the recipe is about the cake. The case being heard at the U.S. Supreme Court today, however, despite having cake in its name, is not really about the cake, but about our civil rights.
I’m thinking about courts this week, as a few recent court cases have involved same-sex parents and our right to be recognized as parents, as well as the right of same-sex couples (with or without kids) to gain the benefits of marriage. Luckily, things seem to be (mostly) in our favor.
Mega-retailer Target’s online catalog is featuring a real-life two-mom family modeling its holiday pajamas, and one of the moms has kindly shared a little for Mombian readers about their experience doing the photo shoot.

Even as our thoughts today turn to the transgender community, their parents, children, and friends, may they also turn towards what we can do to help end the violence.
Lots of good stuff this week, including thoughts from an Australian senator and lesbian mom on her country’s move towards marriage equality, new initiatives around foster parenting and adoption, a new memoir from a former punk rocker and (current) lesbian mom, and more.
