Here we are. I am David McElveen, on the left, and my partner David Favret is on the right. By August 2008 we will have been together for 16 years. We have wanted a child/children longer than we've been together. That mutual dream was definitely a bonding thread. We have been pursuing the dream and making lifestyle changes for about eight years. With the help of multiple friends who have been through this process before us, we officially started two years ago and we now have a baby boy on the way--Truman McElveen Favret.
Here is another, more recent picture from one of our many trips to Los Angeles where the medical procedures all took place.
Here is my wonderful sister Diane and her family. Her supportive husband Jim and adorably precocious daughter Ziggy flank her. Diane has been the gracious egg donor, donating twice to our cause. Obviously David Favret contributed his sperm to the mix.
Diane and Jim are a wonderful, caring and giving couple who reside in a suburb of Denver. It's amazing to the see the strong woman (wonderful wife and devoted mother) that my little sister has become.
Although Ziggy is our niece, she is going to bear quite a resemblance to her cousin. David never envisioned his offspring having olive skin and almond eyes. Surprise!!!!
Me doing what I do best--sleeping and cuddling.

David and David,
It's about time! Four years ago when Chris and I met you, we knew from that second you were meant to be parents. Your persistence, dreams and wishes to be parents were seen at the PFLAGNO meeting where we first met you, following our article in the Times-Picayune. We felt a connection to you the moment we laid eyes on you. G*d must of felt the same connection; your dreams are now a reality and Truman is on his way! We know G*d wanted you to have, love and care for this child; just like he wanted Seth here. We hope to be a huge part in Truman's life....and the same for you in Seth's life. We need each other...our children need each other!
May God bless you and Truman!
Love, The Liuzza Family (Chris (dada) Dale (dee-dee) and Seth)
I cannot believe how much resemblence Ziggy has to the Ripley's picture... can't wait to see Truman!! FUN love you
