Married (No Children)
The Domestic Partnership Bill finally went into effect in Oregon on February 4. We filled out our form, had it notarized and went down to the Courthouse to get it registered. In typical government fashion there was an inconsistency in the way they required the form to be filled out, so we had to redo them. On our second visit to the Courthouse everything went smoothly. The clerk said we were probably the tenth couple so far to register. It is nice to finally be recognized and have some legal rights. Too bad it is only within the state of Oregon. Maybe one day it will be national, but I'm not counting on it anytime soon.

Congratulations! We printed our fill-in form off the Benton Co. site, had it notarized on Saturday, and than were the 4th in line on Monday the 4th. I wondered if we'd encounter a glitch with the form... but we didn't! ;-) It IS nice to have some recognition and protections now... but as you say, only within the state of Oregon.
