By

Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
Tammy Myers, a Michigan mother, was forced to legally adopt her own biological twins born via gestational carrier due to restrictive state surrogacy laws. After advocating for change, the Michigan Family Protection Act was passed, eliminating the need for parents using surrogates to go through adoption proceedings. Now celebrating Mother's Day with her children, Myers reflects on the emotional journey and the legislative victory that made her family's legal status match their biological reality.
