Tom Daley is darting barefoot around a suite in a central London hotel, on a frantic search. In all likelihood, it’s difficult to get the 24-year-old, 5ft 10in Olympian to sit still at the best of times, but today he barely settles throughout our entire interview. It would be distracting if my eyes weren’t glued to the tiny baby softly gurgling from the sofa. Daley has misplaced his newborn son’s dummy, and reckons he has a two-minute window before seven week-old Robert Ray Black-Daley, who has just woken up, starts wailing. Daley’s husband, Dustin Lance Black (known as Lance) picks up Robbie to soothe him, reaching around for a muslin. “The last hour of sleep I had today was at 4:30am,” says...

Fla. woman gets 7 years for forcing surrogate pregnancy
Associated Press Published 4:29 p.m. UTC Jun 1, 2018 Jacksonville, Fla. – A woman in Florida was sentenced to seven years in prison for the forced labor of a Mexican woman she hired as a pregnancy surrogate. Esthela Clark also faces deportation to Mexico after serving the sentence she received Thursday in federal court in Jacksonville. She is a legal permanent resident. Clark pleaded guilty last year. Federal prosecutors say she traveled to Guadalajara, Mexico where she met the victim in 2012, promising her thousands of dollars once a baby was born. The woman was smuggled into the United States, and after she arrived in Jacksonville, Clark repeatedly tried to inseminate her with sperm retrieved from her boyfriend’s condoms with a syringe. Prosecutors say when that method failed, Clark forced the woman to have unprotected sex with strangers. She never became pregnant. … [Read more...] about Fla. woman gets 7 years for forcing surrogate pregnancy
2 couples fighting China red tape get grandson
In March 2013, Shen Jie and Liu Xi were on the cusp of starting a family -- a scheduled in-vitro fertilization procedure was only days away -- when the Chinese couple's car slammed into a tree in Jiangsu province. Liu was killed right away; Shen died five days later, reports said. At the Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Liu's fertilized embryos sat in a tank of liquid nitrogen, preserved at minus-196 degrees Celsius. For Shen's and Liu's extended families, the frozen embryos became their only hope for a new generation. The tragedy set off a yearslong battle in court, as the parents of both Shen and Liu fought to claim the fertilized embryos as their own. The case, first reported by the Beijing News, presented countless hurdles: The most daunting, perhaps, was that there was no legal precedent in China for parents to inherit the embryos of their deceased children. Nevertheless, Shen's and Liu's parents tried a risky legal move -- suing each other -- to get the Nanjing hospital to release … [Read more...] about 2 couples fighting China red tape get grandson
