You are not only trying to help us, but at least 38,000 Families just like ours.<br />I think I must be growing used to this in our lives. I know the seriousness of it but it almost seems normal to me these days. After decades of thinking about it, it's become part of my life.<br />Thank you so much for posting this and a special thank you to your Readers and Friends for their kind words and for visiting me.<br />I feel like I'm in debt to the world. How can I ever pay you all back?<br />m.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01049586061176648341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156470752771486926.post-21976423455916615192012-01-15T09:54:13.109-05:002012-01-15T09:54:13.109-05:00The whole thing seems silly when it should be so s...The whole thing seems silly when it should be so simple. A family, two parents and they should all be able to be together.

Wha...I just got back from visiting Mark's blog. What a disturbing story. I am always dumbfounded that in 2012 governments have not moved beyond this point in their thinking. I am hoping that the media attention will bring some movement on their part. In Canada this would not be an issue. By law their marriage would be recognized and they would be allowed to sponsor their partner. Unfortunately their is a gap right now for Americans attempting to marry in Canada and have their marriage recognized in their state. That is due to the fact that their state does not recognized same-sex marriages. <br />I hope you don't mind this long comment.... but I feel people need to educate themselves and force change on these ridiculous laws.Donna@anangloinquébechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03074337849133414753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156470752771486926.post-47963179249436755492012-01-15T08:50:46.193-05:002012-01-15T08:50:46.193-05:00Thanks for posting this, I'm always so behind ...Thanks for posting this, I'm always so behind with the important news.<br /><br />Thank God they don't live in Virginia.

I am saddened and angered to hear this news and I will do whatever I can, no matter how little, to help them stay as a family in a country that claims to represent all of it's citizens! If an American man married a French woman this would be a non issue, so why shouldn't he be allowed the same rights!<br /><br />KatLow Tide High Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494078916477622322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156470752771486926.post-23484412171266327302012-01-14T22:22:29.599-05:002012-01-14T22:22:29.599-05:00It's so important that this family is allowed ...It's so important that this family is allowed to stay together.

I will go to Mark's blog and take a look. I'm curious, does the Canadian government recognize same sex marrieds as married? I hope this story ends happily.

My Son-In-Law was deported {Common Law Marriage w/our youngest Daughter} and they have a Family that is now split between two Countries {we're raising 2 of the older Children}... unique Family Dynamics are often not considered at all or recognized equitably and that is a shame, I have strong sentiments about it because it has also touched our Family and not in a good way.<br /><br />I'm going to pop on over to Mark's Blog and give some encouragement...<br /><br />Blessings From the Arizona Desert...
