“I never believed that they were OK. I was like, ‘Well, they saved the tank, but there’s no way that those embryos will be OK,'” one mom remembers thinking.

NEW ORLEANS — Hurricane Katrina memories, and videos of the aftermath, can be difficult to watch and relive. But on Monday, one family shared a happy memory of the recent anniversary. Like most of us, Will Imbornone has a remarkable Hurricane Katrina story. But his is different. He is a Katrina survivor but he wasn’t even born yet.

I’ve recently spent a lot of time trying to figure out what it takes to be a parent in Louisiana.
It turns out the answer is a lot more complicated than the birds or the bees would have you think.
This is about the only time it’s easier to be the woman giving birth (unless, of course, you’re a surrogate mother, but that’s a whole other issue) …

Michelle Newsom, 29, never expected to welcome Lafayette’s first baby of the new year into her family.
In fact, she wasn’t sure she would ever have a child of her own after learning at the age of 16 that she could not conceive.
But her sister, Lauren Hayes, 26, told her all those years ago that she would gladly carry her child for her one day. (…story continues – read it all here)
— Amy Kern is so happy to be the attorney for these wonderful people. What a great story!
Our director, Amy Kern, has been interviewed by the Today Show, the New York Post, and the BBC regarding the controversial Sofia Vergara frozen embryo lawsuit.
Vergara is being sued by a Louisiana pro-life group representing the frozen fertilized eggs, which are stored in an Los Angeles facility. The pre-embryos have been the center of a long legal battle, resulting in this week’s lawsuit.
The bizarre lawsuit demands that Loeb, whom Vergara split from in 2014 amid abuse allegations, be given sold custody of the pre-embryos, which he’s named “Emma” and “Isabella.” The suit says a trust was created for the embryos in Louisiana, which has laws that allows an embryo to sue a person.
Fred Silberberg, a lawyer for Vergara, 44, who’s married to actor Joe Manganiello, released a statement denouncing Loeb’s “latest maneuver,” which, he said, “is nothing more than another attempt on the part of Loeb to keep himself in the public eye by keeping himself linked to Ms. Vergara.”
The case began in 2015 when Loeb filed a lawsuit to prevent Vergara from destroying the embryos.
Vergara’s lawyer pointed out that a judge was ready to rule on Vergara’s request for sanctions against Loeb for refusing to comply with a court order, and on her motion for dismissal of the case he filed against her, which sought control of the pre-embryos.
Amy Kern, director of Beginning Families, was interviewed today, December 12th about the Sofia Vergara frozen embryo story.
