surrogacy

Hi from Australia. Late last year (2007) we worked with National Geographic in Australia to present a story of how we (Rodney and Jeff) became dads to a wonderful baby boy called Ethan.

Gay Dads Australia is in the process of archiving Australian media reports in relation to Gay Dads, Lesbian Mums/Moms and Rainbow Families in Australia. The sites aim is to provide a resource for those people interested in looking at how our Rainbow Families are portrayed in the Australian print and television media.

LoHud.com - the newspaper for New York's Lower Hudson Valley - profiles a family that's making a difference in the world.

Maurice Assouline, left, and Craig Sampson have three children, and live in Montebello, New York.

Assouline says, "When I saw what happened on September 11, I realized that I've got to bring into this world people that hopefully will be decent human beings, to balance all the evil that's out there. We started right after that to pick surrogates."

I can barely keep up with the blog that I have, but I do really like blogging and I hope to do more of it, so please see my blog at the following link: http://surrogacylawyer.blogspot.com/.

Comments are welcomed.

Thanks!

Signs that read 'One Man, One Woman, Yes on 36' lined the gorgeous farmland of Marion County Oregon. Proposition 36 called for a vote to change Oregon's Constitution. The change replaced language which stated, "anyone over 18 can marry..." with, "a man and a woman over 18 can marry..." Mark and I noticed the irony of our situation as we drove our newborn daughter around Silverton, Salem, and Portland.

The anti-gay signs were large, loud, and angry but our experience over a few days in this otherwise charming part of the country was free of negativity.
