Rachael Lang poses with her daughter, Delaney, 1, in Livonia, Mich., Monday, March 18, 2024. Lang and her husband share DNA and a surname with their daughter. But living in Michigan, the only state where there is a criminal ban on paid surrogacy contracts, has forced the couple to spend close to a year trying to adopt their daughter, who was born through a surrogate due to Lang's past cancer diagnosis.
