[quote=Anonymous]My wife and I are a same-sex couple, and had a very difficult time finding a baby book for our soon-to-be-born child.  As other posters have mentioned, it's hard to find a baby book that doesn't talk about "mom and dad".  We'd be happy with one that talks about the "parents" or "mom and mom", but were surprised by the lack of options.

I spent a long time researching our options, so thought I'd post what I've found in case other people are looking for the same thing, or have better/different ideas.  I included the prices I've found, but those obviously may change.

And Then There Was Me: $30 on Amazon. Some people say the construction is flimsy, others think it's nice.  http://www.amazon.com/And-Then-There-Was-Me/dp/1930218036

Welcome to the World Baby Memory Book: $30 on Amazon.  Produced by National Geographic, seems to be mostly pictures of animals, but seems inclusive ("parents" rather than "mom/dad").
