Why two dads are better than none! By ARR surrogte Jodi

I was recently the proud surrogate of two wonderful intended parents who happen to be gay. For me it wasn’t a decision of whether I should carry for a gay couple or not. They are both marvelously caring and compassionate people, and I know they will be great fathers to their twins.

Providence, RI or not?

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!

Family Group Cruise for Special Needs Families
