A documentary preview on single mothers through sperm 'donation'
http://www.singlechoicemovie.com/
Noteworthy quotes from this preview:
"Nearly half of the human sperm and eggs sold in the US are purchased by single women"
"For the sperm banks, their goal is to make money and to get people pregnant."
"I feel like my biological father basically sold me."
"Nobody here is making decisions about the future of the whole sperm banking industry, asking what I think is the most important question, what's in the best interest of the child being born."
Filmmaker Michael Galinsky, a former sperm donor, searches for his offspring.

I had a hard time understanding the lyrics but from what I could understand, I thought it was great.
"I could never be a father nor could I ever turn you away"

Thank you Vinny Peculiar and Leah Wilkes.

The clock is ticking away 'til our initial meeting with the surrogacy agency. A little nerve racking?
Aaaaaah…the parade. Every year it thrills me to witness our culture represented with a myriad of sub-cultures. Folks, it’s not just chaps in chaps. And there is one group in particular that always puts a smile on my face- BESIDES the scantily clad rent boys. Strutting down the street with a stroller derby of mochafrappulatteccino babies and Prada diaper bags it’s the GAY PARENTS!
To celebrate Pride and these remarkable families we reached out to our blogger friends and asked them two easy (like Sunday morning) questions:
Steve and I FINALLY booked our appointment! Listen in on the phone call...
