For the first time in history, the majority of babies born in the United States are not white.
New data released by the U.S. Census Bureau found that between July 2010 and July 2011 more than half of the babies born in the country belong to racial and ethnic minority groups.

How much thought have you given to the plight of infertile women who seek out an egg donor and then a gestational surrogate to carry their baby? Or how about to the oftentimes acrimonious, bitter battles mothers sometimes wage against one another over the issue of breastfeeding?
Now that my three kids reliably use a toilet and can brush their own teeth, it’s been a while since I’ve been so flustered and frustrated that I felt like pulling out my eyelashes.
