We are currently considering investing in property in Providence, RI. I have been doing some online research and have found some very positive reviews and information concerning the area and its fit with my family. I would really like to hear from those who know first hand however and can give me a realistic view of accurate pros and cons of the area! Hard to do from a 2D screen! Also would like to know some good info on safer/cleaner/better school ratings on some of the boroughs from those who know first hand!
Two Chicago-area surrogacy firms today announced the launch of a program designed to facilitate the delivery in Illinois of babies carried by gestational surrogates.
Alternative Reproductive Resources (ARR), Chicago, and the Center for Egg Options (CEO), Northbrook, Ill., created The Surrogacy Advantage to help more intended parents benefit by the state’s surrogacy friendly status.
My parner and I experienced a fantastic cruise with our two children, one with autism recently. The organization is called, Autism on the Seas and you can get information on their 2010 cruises on their website. The other families in our group (straight) were very supportive and have become apart of our extended family. Our Group Director, Jamie (family) was AWESOME! He is a veteran cruiser so was able to tell us about things most first time cruisers like us would not know.
Okay folks, we're making the plunge. We're taking our 8 year old boy to Mexico this November. We will be bringing all of the adoption paperwork, including the updated birth certificate. Does anyone have any experience traveling in Mexico with kids? I just want to avoid any issues at customs. Thanks!
Hawaii is stunningly beautiful and marriage here is an ultimate way for a couple to start life together. The entire idea behind a destination wedding is to go away from home, feel the fragrance of flower lei on a beach swept with sea mist, and get fascinated by light and seductive rhythms of aloha while exchanging your vows for a lifetime. Hawaii is a treasure of natural heritage. It is excellent decision to get married in Hawaii. Hawaii offers dazzlingly beautiful backdrops for beach weddings.

Stems cell research, in-vitro fertilization, egg and sperm donations, and the ethical implications that surround them have been all over the news recently. These are thorny issues and as a filmmaker I am compelled to throw myself and my story into the debate.
Circle Surrogacy, one of the oldest and most experienced surrogacy agencies in the USA, is offering private consultations and informational seminars in London and Stockholm this month. The London seminar will be held at 2:30pm on May 16, and it is co-sponsored by Connecticut Fertility Associates. The seminar will feature a presentation by a lesbian surrogate mom [Lori - pictured] from the USA who recently delivered a baby for a London couple, along with expert legal and medical advice, practical tips and contacts for gay and straight couples and singles.
The AP reports that the Washington D.C. City Council voted to recognize same-sex marriages from states that approve them, a step that The Huffington Post believes could propel the sensitive issue into Congress and draw Democrats into a "culture-war" battle with each other.
The city council vote is considered the first step toward eventually allowing gay marriages to be performed in Washington. Congress, which has final say over the city's laws, has 30 days to review the bill, assuming Democratic Mayor Adrian Fenty, a supporter, signs it.

I have spent time recently with many different families. Some in the midwest, some with stay at home parents, some with working parents, some in Southern California, some in turmoil over a son lost to the streets and some rejoicing over the birth of their newest family addition. During this time, I have really come to realize that the most important job I will ever have is parenting. The most important role I have in this life is being a parent. I have recently watched other parents, some very engaged and "plugged in" and some very distant and checked out.
