Mazal Tov

Mazal tov to our friends Gail and Alen on Alen's legal adoption of their kids, Gabi and Sasha. This is the first successful adoption by a lesbian of her partner's biological children in Jerusalem. My friends were a landmark case!

As the young, female, straight contingent at Friday's celebratory party, my friend Becky and I were elected to run the "make-up corner" for the little girls. I had the sense to run away when the brushes passed from our hands to the kids', but Becky was a better sport that I!
