There are many issues that continue to surround the process of surrogacy. In some countries and states this process is not acceptable. Religious countries still continue to question its legality and simply could not accept the facts that this is something that could help intended parents have a child. In some states in the US like in Florida, surrogacy is well protected with laws and statutes. With such laws and provisions in place, Florida has become one of the best places t

Recently, a friend called from out of town and asked about mediation. He and his wife are divorcing, and he was having trouble negotiating with her. While they are not really that far apart in their positions, it was okay because he and his wife had a hard time communicating. Since my friend couldn't be objective, I thought I might not be the right person to start negotiations. It is almost impossible to negotiate if one of the parties is involved and cannot see the "forest o
