Stacey is 25 years old and she is married to Steve. They met each other in college and they were together for 3 years before they married each other. A few months after moving into their first home Stacey found out that she was pregnant. Stacey always wanted to become a mother and she was so happy to find out that she was having a baby. Half way through her pregnancy she started Lamaze classes. She also brought numerous amounts of “How to” books about parenting. At the end of her 9th month of her pregnancy Stacey went into labor and she had a baby girl named Sara. Stacey was lucky with Sara because she was a quiet baby and she slept most of the night. When Sara was 2, Stacey and Steve found out that they were having twin boys. Stacey and Steve thought that their family was large enough so they didn’t have anymore children. Sara graduated from high school at the top of her class and went to law school. The twins also gradated in the top 10 of their class and went to law school. Stacey and Steve both retired at 55 and moved to Florida. Stacey and her twin brothers started a family law firm in Florida near their parent’s home. Similar to her parents she met her husband in college and she started a family shortly after getting married. Sara and her brothers took care of their parents until they died at the age of 83.

Stacey is 30 years old and she is not married or in a relationship. She is an elementary school teacher and she loves children. She desperately wants to have a child of her own, so as a last resort she goes to a sperm bank. She tried 3 times before she finally became pregnant. She has a baby named Sara and Sara is the best thing that happened to Stacey in her whole entire life.

When Sara was 18 she asked Stacey who her father was. Stacey told Sara that she didn’t know because she went to a sperm bank that’s how she became pregnant with her. Sara wanted to know who her father was so she called the sperm bank. The sperm bank told her that they did not know who her father was but emailed her a list of names that they could give out. She called every person on that list but only one agreed to meet with her. She met with a man named Eric and they had lunch. He was a successful lawyer who told her that he donated his sperm because he needed the money to pay a bill. While at lunch he showed her pictures of his daughter Erica who was 4 years old. When she looked at the pictures she was in shock because she looked exactly like his daughter. Eric told Sara that Erica’s mother died when she gave birth to Erica. She asked him if he would take a paternity test and he agreed because he said he had no reason not to take the test. Sara had to wait month to know if Eric was her father or not. The results came back and Eric was Sara’s Father. Finding out who her father was made Sara the happiest person. When Stacey and Eric met each other for the first time shortly after Sara found out that Eric was her father. Stacey was still single and she was not looking for a relationship but she fell madly in love with Eric. Eric realized that Stacey had the same qualities as Erica’s mother and he too fell in love with Stacey. Stacey and Eric moved to florid and lived with each other until they died of old age.

Stacey is 23 years old and has an 8 year old daughter named Sara. Stacey was 15 when she became pregnant. She was with Sara’s father Mike for 6 years before he was brutally killed in a drug transaction that went bad. Mike knew that people wanted him dead so he was trying to stop selling drugs. On his last night of selling drugs he was killed by a fellow drug dealer that was jealous of him. When Stacey found out that mike was killed she went rock bottom. She started to using drugs and drinking alcohol every night. When Stacey had Sara she was disowned from her family, so she had no place to take Sara. Stacey was around 125 pounds when mike died and after a year of using drugs she only weighed about 95 pounds. In school Sara was made fun of because she wore dirty clothes everyday. The school went to Sara's house to why Sara was wearing dirty clothes everyday. When the school arrived at Sara’s house they saw that there was drug paraphernalia all around the house and Stacey was no where to be found. The school counselor waited with Sara until Stacey finally came home. When
