I thought you all would like another update. My visits with my babies are the highlights of my week. They are such sweet darlings and so very precious. They are getting bigger and stronger every day. My son is over 18 lbs now and my daughter is just under 18 lbs. They were so small…
Everyone, I apologize, again, for the late update, but as you will hear in my upcoming paragraphs, there’s a good reason. First, though, I know many of you are anxious to hear what happened in court. This last hearing was to determine temporary custody orders. (Permanent orders will be issued at a later trial, probably…
Specifically, the court “FINDS that Cindy Close is the mother of the children as a matter of law and GRANTS Cindy Close’s motion for partial summary judgment on Marvin McMurrey, III’s claim against her that she is not the mother of these children.” There is also an “Order on Cindy’s Close’s No-Evidence Motion for Summary…
Today was wash day in my house, and since I like to joke that I’m Cindy’s official laundress, I guess it was only right that I ended up doing laundry for the babies today, too. This morning Cindy called me to tell me that all of the clothes that we had painstakingly washed, folded and…

I don’t have a lot of details, but the October 16th hearing has been canceled. I’ve heard various reasons, but it seems that the judge is out of town that day. The November 5th hearing is still on, though, as is the March for Cindy just prior to the 1:30 hearing. Hope to see you…
There’s not been a lot to report for the past couple of days, and while I know we’re all grateful for some peace, I for one, am frustrated at glacially slow pace of justice. Part of that may be that while cleaning yesterday, I found the hospital bracelet from the night the twins were born….
Everyone, Cindy could use some advice. As many of you know, Cindy has testified that Phong has refused to give the babies her breast milk and has refused it repeatedly. She has shared that she is continuing to pump her breast milk because she believes it is what is best for them – and also…
Pete Shanks of Biopolitical Times, published a blog post entitled, “Is This Informal Surrogacy or Exploitation?” The article does an excellent job of summarizing all the pertinent facts of Cindy’s case. Definitely recommended reading if you want to come up to speed on what this case is all about. “A bizarre tragedy is playing out…
Cindy Close supporter Toni King of Mother’s Moments has created a powerful, “tissue required” video and was kind enough to share it with us. Please feel free to share it with as many people as you like.
