Surrogate Mom Gives Birth to Quintuplets – Refuses Payment
Surrogate Mom Gives Birth to Quintuplets – Yahoo! News: “Surrogate Mom Gives Birth to Quintuplets”
Theresa Anderson, 25, had planned to use the $15,000 to help her study to be a nurse and support her own family. She and her husband have two children. But when the Andersons, of Mesa, discovered that all five embryos had taken hold, they decided to decline payment because of the expenses that Gonzalez, a homemaker, and her husband, Enrique Moreno, a landscaper, will now face.
This woman is a hero in my eyes. Not only did she give this couple the children they wanted so badly, but she wouldn’t accept any money for her sacrifice, even though her family needed it. There is good in this world.

This is for my dear friends and family that have asked what the heck a “blog” is. Absolutely anyone with access to the Internet can have a blog just by clicking on the Blogger logo above. It’s easy and it’s fun and it’s cool. Weblog: “A weblog, web log or simply a blog, is a web application which contains periodic time-stamped posts on a common webpage. These posts are often but not necessarily in reverse chronological order. Such a website would typically be accessible to any Internet user. ‘Weblog’ is a portmanteau of ‘web’ and ‘log’. The term ‘blog’ came into common use as a way of avoiding confusion with the term server log. Blogs run from individual diaries to arms of political campaigns, media programs and corporations, and from the writing of one occasional author to the collaboration of a large community of writers. Many weblogs enable visitors to leave public comments, which can lead to a community of readers centered around the blog; others are non-interactive. The totality of weblogs or blog-related websites is usually called the blogosphere. When a large amount of activity, information and opinion erupts around a particular subject or controversy in the blogosphere, it is commonly called a blogstorm or blog swarm. The format of weblogs varies, from simple bullet lists of hyperlinks, to article summaries with user-provided comments and ratings. Individual weblog entries are almost always date and time-stamped, with the newest post at the top of the page. Because links are so important to weblogs, most blogs have a way of archiving older entries and generating a static address for individual entries; this static link is referred to as a permalink. The latest headlines, with hyperlinks and summaries, are offered in weblogs in the RSS or Atom XML format, to be read with a feed reader. A weblog is edited, organized and published often through a content management system or CMS.”
