Hello all!  Allow me to introduce myself.  My name is Anne Ebeling and I am a reporter/producer for Parents TV.  Our program is affiliated with Parents magazine (as well as American Baby & Family Circle) and we're available on Comcast Video on Demand and online (www.youtube.com/parentstv or www.parents.tv).  I just joined SurrogateCommunity.com today and am already learning so many new things about surrogacy!  As a producer for Parents TV, it's my job to make sure the parents who watch our show are informed about various topics pertaining to parenting.  That includes surrogacy. 

Next week, I have an interview with a representative from an agency that operates a very successful surrogacy program to find out how it all works.  But there's something vital that I am missing from this piece - the personal perspective.  I am looking for parents somewhere near New York City (NY/NJ/CT) that have had a child with the help of a surrogate and are willing to share their story on camera.  This is a straightforward, positive, informative piece and I would love for parents to really get an idea of how surrogacy works for families. 

Not only am I the reporter and the producer for my segments, I shoot all the video myself (which means no crew or anything like that - just me and the camera gear) and edit the video, as well.  If you fit the bill and are willing to share with other parents, please contact me: anne.ebeling@meredith.com.  If you know of anyone who might be interested, feel free to pass along my information.  Or, if you have a suggestion for me as to where I might find parents willing to share their story, let me know.

I look forward to getting to know you all in this wonderful community and hope you'll check out our pieces at www.youtube.com/parentstv.  Thanks!
