We appear starting ~0:55. Sorry, no subtitles. Basically, the story is that France has had fairly restrictive laws regarding DNA kits–not allowed, illegal for people to know their sperm donor–but this is changing partly because there is no way to stop it. They used our family as an example how in the USA where there are no such laws, it’s not a big deal.

Aaron’s Modern Love column was selected for the recently published Modern Love book: “Modern Love, True Stories of Love, Loss, and Redemption.”

His piece was also selected for the Modern Love Podcast, with actor Kal Penn (Kumar from Harold and Kumar go to White Castle) reading the essay, followed by an interview with Aaron and Jess about what has happened in the year since the publication of the column.

And finally, Aaron’s column was selected for the Modern Love 15th anniversary “greatest hits” collection published on the NYT website.

Jess, Alice, and Aaron met up in Philly recently for dinner with Kelly and Maryellen from Stage 3 Productions at Giuseppe & Sons. While there haven’t been any recent developments, they haven’t totally given up hope and continue to shop our reality show.

Aaron’s college newspaper ran a story about him.

Another piece where the interviewer did a thorough job of exploring our story for a few hours and then they used two minutes of it to make brief sketch. Still, kinda cute.
