Pondering is terribly fun. If only life was as exciting as all of my ponderings!
The whole babymaking process is far from set in stone. I know that at some point in her life, Jen wants to have a biological child but it's far from our only option. We're also planning to try to adopt at some point, and could do that first if situations required. As for the lack of marriage rights, unfortunately we're going to have to cover our asses legally anywhere we go, because while Massachusetts is marriage-friendly, it's smack in the middle of our Federal Government which is definitely not.
If it should ever come to anything, UMaine offers full domestic partner recognition and benefits, so at least things would be covered on the work end of things.
