Welcome to Crazytown - moving a family overseas

Hi there, family, friends, and anyone else who have managed to find us online!

This is a first attempt at a blog by either myself or my wife, so bear with us as we work out the kinks.  We're E and L, two lesbian moms currently in Portland, OR, in the process of moving our family to the suburbs of Paris.  In our fact-finding leading up to the move, we noticed two groups barely present in the blogosphere - lesbian moms in France, and lesbian expats in general.  I'm hoping that by posting here, we will be able to connect with other lesbian expat families and provide some helpful insights to others interested in making a similar move. 

As of today, the countdown is 13 days until my flight leaves for Paris.  L and our toddler son will follow two weeks later with the dog and cat, ideally arriving after I've found us an apartment.  However, all of this is contingent on one (small) detail: our visas.  Story of our life for the past 3 months.  Interested?  Read on!
