  • Adoption questions for a personal adoption?

    Ok so I have a friend, she has 3 kids already and is now 20 weeks pregnant with twins. Her or her husband dont have jobs and cannot support the babies. so her and her husband decided to give them up for adoption, they wanted it to be someone they personally know but that girl fell through. Well me and my husband have been trying for more kids, we only have 1, my husband has a good job, were buying our home both have cars we all get health care through my husband work I also work on the side when I want to anyways my question is if she just gives us custody and signs over her rights, if their an age we the parents have to be? I know through the adoption agency you have to be at least 25 but since shes just signing her rights over that won't apply? And please no rude comments I'm not trying to steal anyones babies she can see them when ever she wants, I'm trying to help her out so she doesn't end up homeless with 5 kids! And if it came down to it once she got financially stable and she wanted them back I would give them back.

  • Me and my hubby are ttc baby number 2 ?

    So we've been trying to concive baby number 2 for about 6 months now. Last month my period was 10 days late and it wasn't really a period, just brownish discharge (gross I know sorry) this month it was due today but I have no cramps, chocolate craving, no sign of it. Yesterday I had really heavy thick white discharge. I'm going to wait to test untill next weekend, but I'm going to be thinking about it all week. Also I don't have sore breast, just sore nipples, and an achy feeling in my lower abdomen. Not cramps though. Also a lot of headaches. Best time to test would be? I know in the morning but what day?

  • One year old sleeping alot?

    Hi, I have a one year old daughter (she just turned 1 on the 3rd)... she had a cold about a week ago, because of the baby tylenol recall i had to buy her ibprofen...she broke out in a bad rash and I took her to the ER.. found out shes allergic to ibprofen. Well in the process of finding this out doc did a whole bunch of test to make sure it wasn't anything serious. He said she was in great health and the rash would go away. TH rash went away the next day. Well this whole week shes been sleeping alot! Like she goes to bed at 8pm and will sleep till about 8-9am and then nap for 3-31/2hrs around 12-1 and then go back to sleep at 8. Nothing is abnormal except her nap is 2-2 1/2hrs longer then her usual.(which used to be an hour) Is it because shes getting over a cold...maybe shes growing? I also recently switched her from formula to milk, could this be the cause? I mentioned this to the doctor and after asking alot of questions he said she appeared to be responding to the milk just fine. Also this might be the cause...shes been chewing on her fingers alot all the way in the back of her mouth..like her molars are coming in...this be a reason?

    Thank you for help.

  • Can I give my 11 month old?

    Can I give my 11 month old cows milk? I started her on solid foods at 6 months, she's now 11 months and will not have anything to do with her formula. I know your supposed to wait until a year but its less then a month away... she doesnt have a milk allergy, she does fine on cheese/yogurt/other dairy. This is mainly to people who has done this before 1 and what was the outcome. She is healthy not over nor under weight. shes right inbetween her age group. Her iron is great too. so thats not a problem I know formula gives them extra but she has too have the formula that doesnt have any extra iron because hers is already good and the formula gives her too much.

    Anyways I was just curious, I know I should ween her off also not just switch completely. I have the money for formula but milk would be alot cheaper.

My whole back and ovaries hurt, it radiates to my legs also. Anyways my question is can my husband come home for this, the doctor even said it is a very painful process so I'm not being a whinny baby. And if he can come home I know I have to call someone or the doctor does? My neighbors husband was supposed to go where mine is but she had something wrong with her tonsels and he got to stay. Anyways I really just need him here to take care of our 9month old daughter that gets into everything and I'm constantly getting up and down to get her causing me more pain. So any anwers on this would be appreciated. Ohh it might help that where he's at, they been there a month and he's worked maybe 5 days... they're not using them. In my opinion they all should just come back.

  • Normal or go to the doc?

    Ok so I had my daughter in febuary I had my 6 week check up in march and got the depo shot. I went to the doctor like 3 weeks ago and told her my period hasn't returned she said it was normal because I was breast feeding and then got the depo. Well this is the first period I have had since my daughter (other then the the 6 week check up one) and today will be 2 weeks. But its not like a constant flow, it comes and goes some days I will just spot and others I will have it. Confused if this is okay or somethings wrong, I know after you have your baby it takes about a year for all your hormones to get back to normal but idk.

  • Is there anything i can do?

    My husband is in the army, he just joined in march and hes an E2. We got here to our duty station and we have only been here for 2 months and he already got over 5 write ups. His Sergent's don't like him, him being the only black guy in his platoon, his Sergent's make racial comments a lot and treat him differently then the other soldiers. He also had CQ 2 times in one week, they're only allowed to give it to him 1 time every month or 2 months. He cut his finger open on the job and they gave him a band-aid, when he came home i told him it needed stitches so he went the next morning before work to get it stitched and he was 7 mins late (of being 15 minutes early) and he got an article 15, his commander threw it away but now this is the second Saturday in a row they are making him work because of it, his Sergent's not his commander. I could go on and on about all the things they've done to him. Oh i almost forgot one of his Sargent's hit him, but he couldn't do anything about it. Today his sargent told him hes looking for any little thing to get him kicked out. I don't know what to do. He can't talk to his first sargent because hes good friends with the sargent that keeps getting him in trouble. and he cant go to his commander because then he'll get into a lot of trouble by everyone.

  • my puppy just got shots?

    my dog just got her shots a few days ago, and she was fine untill today. she's not eating or drinking she's been sleeping all day, i forced her to take a short 2 min walk outside but she didnt even want to do that. She is also in heat can either of these be why she's acting like this. I'm going to call the vet if she's still like this in the morning, just trying to get some kind of peace of mind for tonight.

  • Were getting ready to PCS and?

    My husbands in the military hes in training right now but he graduates next week. He already got his permanent orders for our duty station and his DS told him to move everything ourselves and the military gives you more money then what the move cost. So I know we get that money once we get to our duty station which is on the other side of the US. But were supposed to get a moving allowance and since he's graduating next week and only has 3 days to report I thought he'd get it today being the first but the only thing in there is our basic pay, and that dont even cover the U-Haul rental we still have gas, food and hotel to pay for plus we have a small baby, So i was wondering if anyone knew if we'll get his moving allowance before he graduates training or are we going to have to wait untill he graduates and drive back down here to pack everything up?
