German Surrogate Twins born in India may finally be able to go home with both of their parents, of which one parent has had to remain in India for almost two years. Ladies and gentleman, this is a cautionary tale of a couple wanting to be parents so badly that proper legal advice was not obtained beforehand.

By the way, I think that the facts show that the parents were found fit with a home study.
TGIF! I hope that those who are celebrating Labor Day this long weekend have a great time - I know I will.

Many think it was a good decision - what about you? I know what Bill O'Reilly would say.
