But they’ll probably do like all the other people in Florida do when they get caught breaking the law and/or scamming. They’ll close the business, wait a month and start up one under another name.
Though, they filed a lawsuit saying the child should go to the genetic parents (if they want the child and can care for it).
Well that’s an important fact that was left out of the linked article. The article says:
According to NBC News’ reporting, the custody agreement recognizes Score and Mills’ right as the “permanent custodial parents of their daughter.”
I guess I’m not understanding the timing of the lawsuit and custody agreement.
The birth was in December. The lawsuit was filed four weeks later. Then, months later, they reached some custody agreement with the genetic parents. We don’t know what happened behind the scenes to change their minds about where the baby should go.
Ah thanks, makes sense.
I found this article today. The couple agreed not to fight for custody.
I think that this is good. Since the other couple had went to a fertility clinic, it is very likely that they were financially stable and would provide a good home for the baby. They were her biological parents. I’m sure this couple loved her, but knowing that she is where she would be had the clinic not messed up is probably of great comfort. Hopefully they can have a baby from their eggs/sperm.
I’m curious how many other other couples who went to that clinic are raising children that are not biologically theirs… because, FL
That’s a scary thought. It brings up a question - would you want to know at this point?
Exactly. On the one side, you likely love your kid (most of the time).
On the other hand, if it isn’t yours, you could sue and get some $.
Local woman soccer kicks cougar as it was attacking her pet goat.
That is one badass woman.
For those not in the know, Vancouver island has one of the highest densities of cougar population anywhere. When I was going to elementary school here, we had fire drills, earthquake drills, and cougar drills. That’s not a joke.

Yeah, she a badass. The cougar was startled and scared by this woman kicking him.
It looked like Donnie was just fine!
We used to have a junior hockey team here called the Cougars. The jokes about cougars picking up cougars were frequent and tacky, but also fairly accurate.
So perfect for the random thought thread.
Watching Phils Mets, and Bryce Harper just hit for cycle. First one of his career. Had me thinking about what an impressive feat it is.
Finished with the triple. My guess is that is often the case. Must be get the HR, the single, the double, and then next ball that seems like a double you automatically go for broke to get the triple.
The times I’ve seen it, it’s been two long balls (one goes over, the other just barely not quite, and he ends up on third) followed by “just get on base” x2
YMMV
Just spent 8 days in blazing heat in Paris, in a hotel room with no AC, I had no idea sitting in a air conditioned airport waiting for a flight could feel this good. Lol

Random YT ‘short’ drew me in with a pic of a female platform diver with a one piece that had long since departed this world for the abyss. What was I to do but investigate? Clip goes for about 30 secs with obligatory toe touching and all the other safety-first preparation before she disappears over the edge and safely enters the water. Top comment goes…
“Over the last 3 hours I’ve watched her nail that jump every single time”
Could not stop laughing.

I was listening to Philly band The Wonder Years at the gym yesterday
I know of them by name, and perhaps heard a track or two on passing through The Algorithm, but never actually loaded them up purposefully (even though they’ve been around for a while), until a “youngster” and I had an amazing conversation at a backyard party on Saturday
We were chatting about things like “how do you know people here?”
To which I replied “I don’t, not anyone, except Pat; who invited us”
He clarified why he came over “you made a comment - very loudly- while someone was singing karaoke to ‘What’s Up?’ That it is the worst song ever written”
“I did” I testified “and I stand by that”
He clocked me as “you strike me as someone who would be … Black Flag? Minor Threat? Dead Kennedys?”
“All those, and more!!!”
We talked about many more things for nearly an hour - his knowledge was impressive, for someone from Pennsauken LOL
Anyway, he had seen The Wonder Years the night before, and - as stated before - I only barely knew of them
Yesterday, though, listening with intent, this line jumped out to me
“It’s Low Tide on Serotonin Bay”
As a Surfer, a Runner, and someone who sometimes struggles … that resonated on many levels
