The patriots are fully, fully cooperating and saying, come on, its ridiculous they would do that. Of all teams, if anybody doesnt get the benefit of the doubt its the patriots. Im not saying that as a patriots basher but as the past history and Bill Belichick brilliant doing everything he can. Would it make a difference . It would. If its cold out. Yesterday, george easier to grab it. Catch. Got you there, george. Its much easier. You were talking about draft picks. I have no idea where that came from because draft picks nobody did. Oh, i think what you meant, let me try to save you here, if they get caught doing something wrong they could lose draft picks. My translator has spoken. Yeah. I got you. I got you, young lady. Right now we have breaking news including that highway overpass crash overnight being called a catastrophic pancake collapse. One person killed. Another injured. Abcs alex perez is on the scene in cincinnati, good morning, alex. Reporter good morning. Just a few hours earlier or later it would have been the middle of rush hour. Take a look behind me here. All that debris in the middle of the highway and they are lucky more were not injured. Its one of those over pass at hopple street collapsing. Reporter a chaotic scene in cincinnati. This overpass collapsing sending several hundred tons of concrete and machinery plummeting on to the highway below. Looks like we have a dismantled overpass collapsed down on to a semi tractor trailer here. Reporter the collapse happened around 10 30 monday night. An overpass along interstate 75 had been undergoing demolition when it gave way. Something went wrong and a tragedy has occurred as a result. Reporter the falling rubble crushing a construction worker below killing him. While a tractor trailer driving under the overpass crashing headon into the collapsed portion of the bridge as it hit the ground, the driver surviving transported to a nearby hospital for minor injuries. I can tell you the big rig driver, the semi driver is very lucky. A matter of seconds and his fate would probably have been different. Reporter the front of his truck mangled metal. Traffic on the busy i75 halted. A section closed indefinitely as the cleanup and investigation into the accident begin. And to give you an idea of how busy this section of the highway is, about 150,000 vehicles pass through there every day. Authorities this morning now working on figuring out what exactly went wrong here. George and robin. Rough morning there, alex, thanks very much. Now to that new threat from isis, the brutal terror group releasing a new video overnight warning it will kill two more hostages unless they receive a 200 million ransom in the next 72 hours. Abcs brian ross is here with all those details. Good morning. Reporter good morning, despite all the air strikes by the u. S. And its allies against isis it appears the isis hostage propaganda crew and british spokesperson is still in business threatening those two japanese citizen, one a freelance journalist. It was posted online in the last few hours, same desert setting and same orange jumpsuit and it seems the same threats of beheading delivered by the isis terrorist dubbed jihad john because of his british accent. Today he said the two men would be executed if the japanese government did not pay a 200 million ransom in the next three days. You now have 72 hours to pressure your government. Reporter the japanese government quickly responded this morning with the Prime Minister on a trip to israel saying he would not give in to terrorism. I strongly demand the Islamic State not harm the japanese citizens and release them immediately. The massive air Campaign Strike began almost five months ago in the wake of series of other hostage videos that shocked the world. Among the targets strikes from the air were aimed at disrupting the propaganda machine. Todays video suggests the brutal terror group has somehow found a way to rebound. Isis continues to hold at least one more american, a female 26yearold humanitarian aid worker. The fact that she was not referred to on todays tape will come as one small piece of good news for her family which has been quietly working behind the scenes to seek her release, robin. Still wishing them all the best, that family. All right. Thank you. President obama will address the conflict with isis tonight in his state of the Union Address. Hes already reeled most his new proposals but abc news learned about a new move hell make on policy towards cuba and jim avila starts us off in havana. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Sources tell abc news that tonight at the state of the Union President obama will Tell Congress that he has done all he can do to normalize relations with cuba and that the time is right to lift the embargo and hell make the case to the American People that the embargo has been a failed policy and changing it will only mean good news for the National Interest of the United States and for the people of cuba and to lead to more freedom here. John this is one of many proposals not likely to go too far in congress. Reporter george, there is strong opposition to lifting that cuban embargo from prominent republicans like marco rubio but from very powerful democrats but the politics on this are interesting. Farm groups are now pushing to see that embargo lifted because they want to sell American Farm products to cuba so you have farm state republicans, very powerful republican senators, who agree with obama on this and would like to see the embargo lifted at the very least for agricultural products. That batch of proposals he put out to help the middle class, he says and certainly going to try to really own this economic progress weve seen in the last year. Reporter yeah, this will be the most optimistic state of the Union Address we have seen from president obama. He will really being going out and saying america is back. The economy is resurging but there will be plans here, its called the robin hood approach here, where he will call for helping the middle class, hes got proposals raging from tax cuts for the middle class, Free Community college for two years giving workers guaranteeing them seven days of paid sick leave all paid for with tax hikes on the rich. As you can imagine these proposals are more of a wish list than anything that republicans are going to pass. Theyre not going to sign on to that. Anything the president will proposal that could get bipartisan support. Well, there are a number of possible areas, one big one is trade. The president has several big trade deals he wants to get done. Republicans are with him on that. Okay, jon karl, thanks very much. Well have full coverage of the president s speech and republican response starting at 9 00 eastern. We know youre heading down there after gma. A fastmoving storm that will leave a path of snow for the midwest and northeast. We know ginger is tracking it for us this morning. A light snow, 1 to 3 inches but doesnt take much to get the roads messy as we saw this weekend. Brandnew video from i95 in new jersey. Take a look. That would be a semi, a tractor trailer, two there and just narrowly missing the guy in the car. Fortunately they were all okay. So i want to time out the storm so you know what to expect. Northern plains through southern minnesota into chicago, more tonight into early tomorrow. Its really for the midatlantic and northeast, wednesday night into early thursday event so i timed it right here, wednesday 9 00 p. M. Into philadelphia heavier and new york city, fortunately a little bit after most peoples evening commutes, but Early Morning boston down through connecticut may be slick.

The roof, the second floor and first floor all collapsed into the basement. Reporter the structure reduced to rubble. So unstable firefighters have been unable to search it and this morning, no one has heard from six of the family members believed to be staying there. 56yearold don pyle, his wife sandy and four of their grandchildren. They were the most generous and loving people in this world as far as i know, so im just still praying that theyre here somewhere. Reporter the blaze breaking out around 3 30 a. M. Taking 85 firefighters more than 3 hours to contain. This is the 9 million waterfront estate before the disaster. A sevenbed room, 7 1 2bath dream home for the tech executive and his family. Family members are now asking for prayers. Im praying that theyre still here and i hope all their friends are doing the same. Reporter just as soon as its safe enough investigators will begin looking through the charred debris for possible victims. The atf is assisting in the investigation into a cause. Whether this was a horrible accident or arson could take weeks to determine. Amy. All right, bazi kanani with the very latest. Thank you. Overseas reports coming in the remember pelles have seized the president ial palace in the capital of yemen. Seizing weapons. The president was not in the palace at the time. More details as we get them. And investigators have ruled out terrorism in the airasia flight 8501 crash. Indonesian Authorities Say the cockpit voice recorder contains only the pilot sounding very busy. Back here at home chaos on the streets of south florida. Hundreds of bikers in miami for a convention took over the streets running red lights, evading police and performing stunts. The ride apparently organized all through social media. And finally weve all been a parent who went a little overboard planning their childs birthday party, but i dare say youve never seen anything quite like this. The family of a 5yearold boy in england recently accepted a classmates invitation at a ski resort but then they realized grandma and grandpa would be visiting so alex didnt end up going. Last week he got a bill from his classmates mother tucked into his school bag. A noshow fee for 24 and also she also is threatening to take alexs parents to Small Claims Court if they dont pay up. Hello. You know what, theyre 5. Wait till she gets busy or has a problem in scheduling then how many birthday parties did you have to 24. Give me a break. Kids birthday parties. Boy, youve had i always try to let the mom know but sometimes it happens. You were so serious. Really . Okay. I was counting the number of birthday parties i missed. Its 24. Not 2400. The mom was trying to teach the other mom a lesson. There you go. And Small Claims Court will do that. I was going to say. Hey, amy, good to have you back, amy. Now to best picture oscar nominee american sniper generating big buzz. Major questions right now. Some are asking if the recordsetting movie glorifies a hero or a killer. Abcs byron pitts has that story for us. Dont pick it up. Reporter its the blockbuster hit shattering records this morning. Hey. Hand me my daughter please right now reporter american sniper, raking in 105 million in just four days and now the largest Opening Weekend ever for a drama not to mention its six oscar nods including best picture and best actor for broadly cooper who plays chris kyle, the real life navy s. E. A. L. With the most kills in history. You would never ever want to mess with. Reporter the film directed by Clint Eastwood is generating drama offscreen this morning. This billboard in los angeles spraypainted with the word murder. Online a firestorm after seth rogen and Michael Moore both appeared to take aim at the film. Rogen saying it reminded him of a scene about nazi propaganda in the film inglourious basterds. Moore tweeting we were taught snipers were cowards. Who will shoot you in the back. Snipers arent heroes. Both later saying their comments were taken out of context but the implication was enough to put celebrities and politicians on the defensive. Rob lowe responding in disbelief to moores tweet. Hes kidding, right. Sarah palin slamming hollywood leftists on facebook but also thanking cooper and eastwood for respecting the United States military. People still have very passionate and polarized opinions about the rightness of going to war in iraq, whether or not celebrating sniper kills is something that we should be doing. Reporter but while the controversy rages on this morning, chris kyles widow says shes proud of her late husband and coopers job portraying him. The heart of the man, the ability to laugh through it all, bradley captured all of that. Reporter for Good Morning America, byron pitts, abc news, new york. Well, im sure that dialogue is not going anywhere any time soon. No. The super bowl is less than two weeks away but the big game is being overshadowed by deflategate. The nfl is investigating the new England Patriots to see if they took the air out of the ball in the blowout win over the colts. Abcs ryan smith has the story. Reporter overnight the new England Patriots playing defense, balking at allegations they intentionally deflated balls to help blow out the indianapolis colts. They are the afc champions. Reporter Quarterback Tom Brady laughing off the controversy on boston radio show dennis and callahan. I think i heard it all at this point and its ridiculous. Reporter Rob Gronkowski poking fun at the accusations posting this meme of him spiking the ball after a touchdown saying warning, gronking may cause deflation. While Bill Belichick denied knowing anything about it. Well cooperate fully. With whatever the league wants us to do. Questions asked. I didnt know anything about it until this morning. Reporter the nfl confirming to abc news an investigation is now under way. Nfl rules state that altering footballs could subject those responsible to discipline including a fine of 25,000. And a smallest deflation could make a big difference. The effective of a deflated ball is a quarterback may be able to handle it better in inclement weather such as rain. Reporter cheating allegations are nothing new to football. In 2007 the league slapped belichick with a 500,000 fine and took 250 grand and a top draft pick from the club for spygate. Videotaping new york coachs sideline signals during a game. The ncaa suffered its own scandal three years ago when a student manager was fired at usc and school fined 25,000 for intentionally deflating five footballs in a game against oregon. So heres the difference. This is an actual football, correct weight and all that. This one is slightly deflated. Do you think it makes a difference. Im a lineman. I could catch this one. Its easier to grab. Its just more grip. Especially when its raining as it was during that game. It was pouring all game so its a big advantage if thats what happened but you know what theyre a great team. Made it to the super bowl. Lets enjoy that. It was a convincing win. Deflated ball or not. You could catch both of these easy. Ginger, a lot of rain coming south. I wanted to head on over. Show you whats happening new mexico some of the high country could see more than eight feet.

Look at this. Husband the husbands got up at 3 00 a. M. So they could meet new kids on the block so you know what, these fans are excited. Were excited. Back to you, robin. There was a line down the block when we got in this morning. Well start this half hour however with the trial of two former vanderbilt Football Players. Accused of sexually assaulting a female student in a dorm room when she was drunk and unconscious. The jury viewing graphic video of the alleged assault monday and a key witness expected to take the stand this morning. Abcs tom llamas is here with that story. Reporter good morning. From the start of this trial jurors have been fed a steady diet of graphic images and jarring testimony. The alleged crimes all happening on the campus of the prestigious Vanderbilt University. Former Vanderbilt University Football Players Brandon Vandenburg and corey batey, stonefaced in court monday. The two teammates now codefendants, both charged with aggravated rape and Sexual Battery against a female student in june of 2013. The alleged victim laying in the hallway of gillette dorm. Reporter on monday detectives describing the alleged attack which they say the young men recorded on their smartphones. This is corey batey with his shirt removed, his pants removed. Reporter jurors saw one video, too graphic to show the rest of the courtroom but on it you could hear laughter during the alleged rape. Reporter investigators say vandenburg texted some to his friends and searched google to find out if police could retrieve deleted photos. The victim vandenburgs girlfriend a neuroscience major. That day had such promise for her and turned into a nightmare. Reporter prosecutors claim Surveillance Video shows vandenburg carrying her to his dormroom, batey by his side. Within two minutes she was sexually assaulted. Reporter two other players joined in, Brandon Banks and jaborian tip mckenzie also charged but chpt expected to testify for the prosecution. Mckenzie taking the stand later today. The defense says everyone made mistakes that night even the victim. She drank quite a lot of alcohol. Reporter bateys lawyer says its the climate. It came in the way of television, shows that glamorize and promote sexual activity. Reporter all four have pleaded not guilty. Now the alleged victim in this case may possibly testify this week. Shes been in court for these proceedings crying through some of the more graphic testimony, prosecutors say theres no dna evidence connecting batey or the other codefendants but prosecutors say they dont need it. They have the video and photographs. All right, tom. Thank you very much. Dan abrams is here with more on this. Were hearing the defense claim, a college culture. What kind of defense is that . I have no idea what kind of defense that is. It sounds like bateys defense. Two very different defenses but it sounds like bateys defense is a, i got so drunk i couldnt create the intent to commit sexual assault. Thats not a real defense as a legal matter. It seems as a practical matter what theyll try to do is point the finger at one of these other two guys who will be coming in to testify against them as a legal matter. They say theyre charged with the wrong crime. But, boy, if he is on this videotape doing that that is a tough position to be in as a defense lawyer. Talk more about the videotape. Very graphic. The videotape and other images here, remember, with regard to batey, very, very powerful testimony. Vandenburg different defense. He is the one alleged to have orchestrated this. Meaning the authorities dont even think he actually was involved in the rape itself but they say that he was part of the entire thing. Meaning he had the intent to do it. He was egging people on in the group. He was sending out the videos and as a legal matter under Tennessee Law these prosecutors say thats rape. Again, the two others are going to be on the stand today. Were expecting at least one of them on the stand and that could be very powerful again with regard to vandenburg, the one they dont have the videotape against because thats someone there who can talk about everything that happened thats not quite on that tape. That could be very powerful testimony against him. Youre going to see a withering crossexamination where the Defense Attorneys basically ask him why hes testifying, what kind of deal hes hoping to get and i think youre going to see his Defense Attorneys trying to point the finger at the two testifying. A lot watching it closely. Thanks. To amy in the social square the speed feed. The american sniper controversy which we brought you this morning takes three top spots including Michael Moore and heating up abcnews. Com and sports blog, the mystery of the toothless tiger. Tiger woods surprising girlfriend lindsey vonn in italy when she broke the record for world cup wins sharing a celebratory kiss and then came a different kind of hole in one. This one with tigers teeth. Safe to say he was not celebrating when he says he was struck by an overly enthusiastic videographer who knocked out one of his front teeth. These pictures have gone viral. Race organizers say they respect sure how it happened. The most famous golfer in the world required extra security and didnt know about it until it hit the news. Take a look at that scarf hes wearing. A nice row of teeth there. Vonn told reporters it helped her pick him out in the crowd. He loves that stupid mask spoken like a real girlfriend. He went from a skeleton to a jackolantern. You did say that. Amy, thank you very much. Surprising it doesnt happen more often when all the photographers are around and swing around and often hitting you but never seen that quite happen before. Shes having quite a run. Yeah, she is. What did you say he looks a little bit like you now . Is that what you were referring to . A little bit. A little bit. You wish you had his swing. I wish i had a golf game like he did. We all do. A beautiful picture. A lot of people are still golfing. Close to san diego. Ocean beach, california, but the tide so low folks were walking out there. A pretty way to start.

Actually you did sleep really well. How much did i get . I got 7 34 of total sleep. The s plus is closest at 7 41. The jawbone, 8 01 but the basis added 48 extra minutes of time. The makers of the basis say an independent study showed the device was 90 accurate on nine out of ten nights compared to a medical grade sleep study. Next how many times did i wake up . Stanford says i had 25 wake events, the s plus says four wakeups, jawbone says one and basis zero. According to this doctor stanford detects waking through brain activity and says thats not always the case with Consumer Devices. A lot might measure by movement. Reporter and some like the basis use heart rate so if you wake but you dont really move it may not register. Now these devices also report data on r. E. M. Sleep, deep sleep and one counts how often you toss and turn, none of the companies claim these are medical grade devices but they do say over time that data can point to a trend. Looking at it on a single night basis might not be that accurate but if youre looking at it say over the course of a month and you notice that youre getting more sleep or less sleep, that might be something that in turn might encourage you to change your lifestyle. Reporter while these devices make you aware of patterns they cant diagnose a sleep disorder and any one nights data shouldnt make you lose sleep.

Or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling or blurry vision.

Not bad. Bacon scented. I like that. And the bacon brings us to todays health alert. Yes. New study Shows Parents who dont vaccinate their kids appear to live in the aim areas. They found vaccine clusters. This study was done in Northern California by kaiser and looked at 154,000 children and followed them for many years and looked at age 3 to see how many of those children had not received all of their vaccines and they found across the board it was 11 . But there were some communities, some areas where it was twice that, 23 of children who were missing some of their vaccines, some of those communities were where some of the more educated parents were living. Very surprising. Tell us the significance of all this, rich. Well, you know, it puts those children at risk. If you dont have all your vaccines its a longer period youre at risk but also putting children who are fully vaccinated at risk. Heres why. Theres no vaccine 100 protective. Measles is causing an outbreak in california. Thats 95 protective so you can get it and still be at risk. The more children youre around who didnt get vaccinated the more likely you are to be exposed to that and get the disease even if vaccinated. What do you say to parents who think there are way too many vaccines. Ive seen so many of these diseases cause suffering in children. And every time we get a new vaccine i think its a wonderful thing. Its important that parents get their vaccines on time because it protects them for longer so thats my recommendation for parents but also you can check and see what the vaccine rate is in your childs school, it california you can go online and if you have a choice put your child into a school where the vaccine rates are high, you know, keep them safer. The way to go. Spread out the vaccines or have them all at once. I think you should get them on schedule. Spreading them out means a longer period of time youre not protected. So hard on the kids. They go to the doctor, ah id rather get them all in and once theyre crying keep them crying. Plenty of stickers in one day. Okay, rich, thanks. Pop news and weather coming up.

Such an amazing crowd. Two mystery guests are here in the studio. Oh, yeah. Right behind that curtain. Well reveal all but first pop news. I will tell you, robin. There is a clue somewhere in pop news as to that identity. That is all i will say. We begin with this. Listen up, tlc fans, if you want the band to release another crazy, sexy, cool album dont go chasing waterfalls. Just hit up their kick starter campaign. Asking their fans to donate 150,000 to make the fifth and final album. Fans can choose how much to donate and the ladies promise to put out music that is universal, touchable and always with their beloved lisa left eye lopez there in spirit. That got us thinking what other band should start a Kickstarter Fund to do another album. We have decided with you all in mind number five yes, abba. Yes i dont think they need kick starter. I didnt take into consideration who needs it, george. Number four, youre my wonder wall ooh, that was really off. That was bad. They would have to get along long enough to make an album. I love wonder wall. Number three, george, dire straits. I love dire straits. Look who is listening. Stephanopoulos turns his frown upside down. Precisely why i put them on the list. Im no dummy. Number two, the gap band. Who loves you, Robin Roberts . Oh, my. And number one youre teacher, the subject of schoolgirl fantasy she wants him so badly knows what she wants to be do you agree or not . Everybody is looking at you. Just keep on going. You know what, my mom always said dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is listening. Did she say that . Maybe nobody is. Im sorry. America, we love you. 5 million. Its a good list. I like your list. I should have done new kids for you. And def leppard. I apologize. Go to our Good Morning America hashtag thing and let us know who you like. Also in pop news this morning, george and amal may still be on the honeymoon phase but when things go bump in the night it appears to be from a paranormal presence. The mansion they bought is haunted, its the ghost of a little girl who roamed the whole village and many say they have seen her and appeared many types on that bridge overlooking their house. Thats not a house. George aint afraid of no ghosts. He should call in bill murray, one of his best pals to get over there. That little girl wont know what hit her. The only thing that looks scary to us about that house, is the price they spent around 15 million on the not so spooky spread and are currently renovating it. Finally in pop news this morning, we certainly hope that all the music and good spirits are helping you rise and shine with a smile. If youre so sleepy, these guys can certainly relate. This video has gone viral and it is called cats and dogs in desperate need of a nap. And just watch. Oh. Because i dare say we have all been there. So sweet. And that, everybody, is a very special edition of pop news. Can you guess the clue to our special guest . I dont know but it was in there. Wow. That was quite a pop news. Thank you, george. Quite entertaining. It was. Heat index coming up. Ginger now. Oh, oh, hold on. You can help set up. I am among my fellow blockheads. I made myself a sign. Can you see that . Hey, new kids, remember when we hung out. Whats your favorite nkotb song . Block party. Dirty dancing. I cant wait to hear their announcement.

Record highs are possible through the weekend. Today we have mostly lowtomid 60s and a few areas inland stay in the upper 50s. The sevenday forecast shows us in the upper 60s by friday and 70s through the right stuff im staying out here. Im staying out with my friends. Lets get inside, george. The gma heat index now and that real housewife star battling lime disease. Shes opening up about her struggling hoping to find a cure and Abbie Boudreau has her story. Reporter a picture perfect persona. Character isnt what you have, its who you are. Reporter but behind the starstudded scenes on tv, a much different reality for the struggling real housewives of Beverly Hills star Yolanda Foster whose threeyearlong battle with lyme disease has been painfully chronicled on the show. It went in my brain and i was losing brain function. Reporter the former dutch model and wife to david foster now opening up in a recent blog saying her debilitating illness has taken a turn for the worse. The 51yearold writing i relapsed in early december and have not been able to find my way back. I have lost the ability to read, write or even watch tv. Clearly frustrated, yolanda explaining, we still dont have proper diagnostic testing, a vaccine or a cure for lyme disease. Something doesnt add up here. In 2014 we met her at her malibu mansion. I get emotional just thinking about it. Just, you know, how am i ever going to get out of this. Reporter each year 30,000 people in the u. S. Are diagnosed with lyme disease. A bacterial infection transmitted by ticks. After a bite, it can enter the bloodstream attacking the skin, joints and nervous system. It can be difficult to diagnose and the signs and symptoms can be pretty diverse and the treatment and management of lyme disease is medically controversial. Reporter and after feeling more like herself while filming this season of housewives her recent relapse has her vowing to find a cure telling andy cohen on watch what happens live just last month, its her mission to help others. Theres millions other suffering just like i am. Reporter Abbie Boudreau, abc news, los angeles. Were happy shes doing so well. Coming up next on the gma heat index Beauty Secrets of the stars. Award seasons and plenty of celebs shining on the red carpet posting looks on social media. Abcs linsey davis shows us how you can go from instagram to instaglam. Reporter the secrets behind those sparkling eyes, sexy locks and luscious lips that dazzle on the red carpet. Now revealed on instagram with pics of the prep process. Even video messages like this one of actress lupita nyongo, lancomes ambassador applying her raspberry lipstick on the way to the golden globes. With millions ready to copy them, instagram is becoming the new pinterest looking for those to be inspired by the latest techniques. Im going to start with primer. We teamed up with michele park to try to emulate some of these sultry looks ourselves. I hope youre not afraid of blue. Reporter including jamie kings blue sky blue lower lid. Youll start out by lining the top and well line the bottom, as well. Dont paint your entire eyelid one blue. Itll look flat so incorporate different shades. Ill finish off the look with blue mascara. What that does is gives your lashes volume but adds to that blue so you really have kind of a pow type of experience. Fifty shades of blue. Lupitas lips i think people are just looking for a bold statement in general. Yeah. Thats what im talking about. I got lupita you are lupita. You look like lupita. Reporter what some describe as the trend of the moment singer nicki minajs cat eye. The thing about instagram, its a great place to get inspiration to add your own flair. Reporter the tip on this, the bigger the better, purrfection. Rrrr. Linsey, wow. Vavavoom. All right. Also in this mornings heat index, well, lets transfer to the morning stir. A woman who offered to carry a baby for her best friends who are gay. Their story has a lot of people talking about what it means to be a family and abcs juju chang is here with more on that. Good morning to you, juju. Reporter hey, lara. You know the saying First Comes Love then comes marriage. For gay couples the baby can be tricky and expensive. Lawyers fees, surrogacy except for the couple youre about to meet. When their best friend a happily married mother of two steps up with a generous offer. A modern day truth we see playing out on screen. We have been together for five, five years now. We decided we wanted to have a baby. Reporter having children for most gay couples typically means adopting. We adopted a baby. Reporter or paid surrogacy. 35,000 is a huge chunk of money. You have no problem to do this for two men. No, i requested a gay couple. Its not so often you hear this after years of planning and hard work our best friend helped us have a baby. Reporter for this couple starting a family was always a lifelong dream. We knew having kids would be a fantastic thing. We really wanted them. Reporter but the california couple found the process itself daunting. It looked like an impossible dream. Reporter soon that impossibility became a reality thanks to an astonishing favor from their best friend esmi who volunteered to have their baby for free. I loved being pregnant. I had two easy pregnancies with both of our girls. Thats when we started talking about this as a possibility. As soon as we mentioned it, i was like, we got to do this. Reporter the one nonnegotiatable factor it would not be biologically hers and would use egg donors. We had to hire several lawyers to have a contract and make sure everything was spelled out. Reporter adoption experts say having legal representation in these unconventional situations is crucial. Get a good understanding for what is going to happen after this child is born. Make sure that the insurances are in place, you have to have the right medical team and right legal team to make it all fit into place. It was always very clear from day one that we were going to be the parents and that esme was the guardian of our child for these nine months. Reporter during those nine months esme says her maternal instincts never kicked in. It was surprisingly not emotional. I wasnt looking wistfully at my belly. Or anything like that. I and he never felt like my child. Reporter but she cried for joy seeing her friends become parents to now 11monthold baby linus. Life has taken a tern giving new meaning to the term bff, best friends forever. We always had an amazing friendship. This is another chapter of our lives, theres no question. We dont know how to thank her. It was really an amazing journey. Its an amazing gift. Surrogates are earn 30,000 plus expenses, so to go through nine months of pregnancy and all that for your friends is a labor of love. I love my friends but thats a lot. Lets talk about the emotional toll for anybody whos thinking about this. Of being a surrogate. Think about it. Agencies who pay surrogates ask that you go through psychological testing because you bond with a baby. All those hormones but at the end of the day she knew that she was not biologically connected and that made it easier for her. Really a selfless act for her. A gift of love. I would be worried i was doing what i thought was a selfless act and then bonded. That could be difficult. It can be tricky. And legalities that could come from that. Absolutely. These laws vary from state to state. One of those areas where medical advances are going so fast its almost as if the laws cant keep up. And basically when you look at states, they have different laws. Some surrogacy contracts are illegal. Some states dont recognize it. At the end of the day some states wont even put two parents names on the birth certificate if its a surrogacy so basically the first step, hire a lawyer. I was going to say, do your homework. Absolutely. Critical. Thank you so much, juju. Happy to be here. Coming up on Good Morning America, the new kids on the block are on our block live. Live. More birds keep turning up covered in a mysterious sticky substance along the Alameda County shoreline. More than a quarter of the birds have been found dead.

Four weeks, 20 pounds real accessible food and all about how you can make it available to everyone. Four weeks, 20 pounds. You put my parents you put momma and papa strahan on it. You were doubtful at first because you said doc, if you can do it its a miracle. Theyre doing great, papa stra is down 10 pounds 6 inches. Mama trey is down almost 25 pounds and an update coming up you cant tell her nothing. So on rachael ray well do an update following her for the whole year. If she loses the goal weight i have to buy her a whole new wardrobe. Everyone wonders why i work so much. Well you know if super shred, one crazy thing about dieting, snacking is one thing most people get in trouble with. Well talk about some snacking options that i would probably think would be okay but youre saying you may need to alter. Snacking is important in super shred. Snacks are important because they help you reduce the amount of calories you eat at a meal. A bran muffin that looks healthy, right. Heres the problem, the size of the muffin and amount of sugar added could be up to 800 calories. 800 calories for one. The size is too big. If you look at our other option this is what you find in super shred. Half a whole grain english muffin, half a tablespoon of Peanut Butter 100 calories or less. Wow. Now, over here this is probably my weakness cookies and little snacks like this just like everybody else in the studio so tell me about this. People see either low fat or fatfree cookies. Fatfree typically means theyve taken out the fat and replaced it with sugar so dont be fooled because its fatfree could still have a lot of calories. Word play so what we say is what is a healthy option. With your thumbs up . Take some pretzels dip it in chocolate. Chocolate is healthy for you, get the crunch that suppresses your appetite. You dont eat a hundred of these. 150 calories or less for snacks. Got it. The last option here. This is granola. Granola. Its typically healthy but you if eat it it has a lot of preservatives, sugar and fats. Sometimes just a half a scoop can be 300 calories. For half a scoop. So watch the calorie count on the back of the book or the package but if you do this with super shred we say take air popped popcorn if you want a little salt thats fine add a little salt. So much healthier, a third of the calories and a cup is a serving. You know what youll cost me a new wardrobe with my momma. Awesome. Supershred is out in paperbook now.
