5 Concepts of Consent To Teach Your Toddlers
My name is Mom - and I am a sexual assault survivor. My first experience with sexual assault happened when I was young enough to have trouble remembering exactly what happened.

Surrogacy in another country can feel… unreal. One minute it’s hope. Next minute it’s spreadsheets. Clinics. Flights. Contracts. Then suddenly it’s, “Wait—who is listed as the parent?” and “Can the baby leave the country?” and “Is this even allowed back home?”
