“We’re terrified. Because things seem to change moment to moment and there’s a time zone difference on top of that, we’re up all hours of the day and night,” said Lilac Epstein.
Hobbies include a good round of “The Wheels on the Bus" and “hiding" from his parents, though, in plain sight.As much fun as parents Jeff Sterling and Lilac Epstein have with their son today, the couple struggled for years to have David at all.
“We’re terrified. Because things seem to change moment to moment and there’s a time zone difference on top of that, we’re up all hours of the day and night,” Epstein said. “[That is] in part because some of the nations that had had a lot of surrogates, like India and Nepal, outlawed surrogacy, made it illegal. Most of Europe has outlawed it in some form or another,” said UIC Law professor Sonia Bychkov Green. Green was born in Russia and immigrated to the U.S. as a child with her family. She also teaches a seminar on assisted reproductive technology.
While more than three-million Ukrainian refugees have fled the country, that’s not so easy for a surrogate mother. Legally, not every nation recognizes surrogacy as Ukraine does. So, if a surrogate mother delivers in another country, the baby’s intended parents may not be named on the infant’s birth certificate, setting up an international court struggle.
