Pennsylvania

Cookie magazine features a home makeover story about a family outside of Philadelphia, living in a 1683 colonial-style building. The family consists of Chris, Oscar, and their son, Lucas, who was born in June 2006 via surrogate.

The family moved into the mansion - named Point Reading - in 2003 and began it's restoration immediately.

Pennsylvania's Patriot-News is reporting on a remarkable story in Dauphin County.

An openly gay teen has been harassed in his high school to a point where he dropped-out in the middle of his senior year because he couldn't withstand the abuse. This prompted a group of classmates to petition for his return. Three hundred students signed the document.

Pennsylvania currently has no laws or upper level court decisions that directly address surrogate parenting or the enforceability of a surrogate parenting agreement.

As a matter of fact, a growing number of people, including gays and lesbians, have successfully brought children into their families through surrogacy in Pennsylvania.
