Can I adopt my husband's mistress's baby?
Yes, he cheated, and now she's pregnant. I have never been fortunate enough to have any of my own but I don't want to be 'step-mommy'. I want this woman to give up her rights and let me adopt the child. The mother says ok (now) but I need it to be legal once the baby comes. What can I do??

4 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoPregnant or Menopause?
I'm 46 yrs old and have always had regular with 28 day cycle periods. Sometimes starting early due to stress but never over 31 days.

I've taken 3 home tests, all negative but there is no signs of hot flash's or mood swings. Nor is there signs of pregnancy. This would be my first .. Any help, ideas, or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

1 AnswerGovernment1 decade agoWhere Can She find help with Cancer?
My friend had a mamogram recently, that shows 3 lumps. These lumps are big enough for her to feel. Because her husband works, with no health insurance, she's was left with no regular Dr. and the ER is only for when she's dying. Who can she turn to in Upper Michigan? Will this qualify her for Medicaid or Medicare? She's 47. She needs this checked out further with more testing but no way can afford it on her husbands 'barely above' minimum wage salary. HELP!! ?
3 AnswersCancer1 decade agoWhat's Jr. Bush doing now???
I've always believed Jr. has has his adjenda set long before he became president. He invaded Iraq to avenge his father as much as Republican belief that a war stimulates the economy. (Prob. his family) Not to mention he protected the BinLaudin family the day OF 9/11 shows me he KNEW and did nothing. He's refused to talk to Iran and places fear in every American about the impending doom we all face unless.. what? We invade Iran?
NOW; He's doing as we asked. TALKING to Iran (sortof via aides), and maybe thinking of his own 'timeframe' for which IRAQ itself asks for. What is he and his friends and family gaining? Are they afraid of what Obama will find if elected? I've never distrusted the Rep. Party until this Pres. So I wonder how THEY will financially gain from his quick reversals at the last minute?
Any Comments???
2 AnswersElections1 decade agoHow can McCain draw Social Security when he still works and earns over $400,000 a yr?
I just read an article that says his Social Security is being paid, yet he works. How is this possible? I know HUNDREDS of ppl who can not work more than a certain amount of hours at minimum wage or their social security is cut. What makes him so special?
7 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoRepublican party basic concepts?
Up until Jr. was elected I believed it was important to have both parties in government. One protected the people and one protected business's. Although I feel this is still true, I can't find any compassion or compromise for humanity in the Republican party anymore. Narrowmindedness has control of both parties, and noone cares enough to do anything productive to help the economy. Sure feels like a recession to me Jr.! (oops I forgot, we dont have homeless in America either!)
Explain why your a republican. I want to be fair since there isn't a AMERICAN party that incorperates both party ideals.. Can You?
5 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agolower leg pain, varicous veins?
After teaching preschool and being on my feet for 11 yrs, I took a night job that left me 30 pounds heavier, with varicous veins, and numbness in my lower legs when i stand up. It's not that crawly type but weak and unstable and sometimes I'm not sure if I'm feeling my feet touch the floor properly. Any exercise ideas, homeopathic remedies, or medical suggestions will be appreciated.
(by the way.. no health insurance so dont expect me to have tests run to diagnose a disease I can't afford to have)
2 AnswersPain & Pain Management1 decade agoHow do you make a horse laugh?
A man went into the tavern to have a drink after work. At the end of the bar was a horse with a sign around his neck that said;
Make me laugh and win the pot of money, if not pay $1.
The man whispered into the horse's ear and the horse was beside himself with laughter.
The man gathered up the pot of money, drank his drink and left.
The following week the man again entered the tavern to see the horse with a new sign;
''Make me cry and win the pot of money or pay $1''
The man politely asked the bartender if he promised not to touch the horse, could he please bring it in the back room and he would make the horse cry. He agreed and when they came back the horse couldn't stop crying.
The man gathered the money and proceeded to the door when the bartender stoped him and said.....
"Last week you made him laugh and noone could make him laugh. This week you made him cry and noone could make him cry. What did you say or do???''
7 AnswersJokes & Riddles1 decade agoA better blonde joke?
A blonde decided that she wanted to learn how to ice fish. She bought all the supplies and headed for the ice. As she was drilling her first hole she heard a deep voice say;
"There is no fish under the ice''
So she picked up her gear and moved to the other end of the pond and started to drill another hole. The voice again said;
''There is no fish under the ice''
The blonde moved to a 3rd spot and proceeded to drill another hole when the voice again said more firmly;
''There is no fish under the ice''.
Frustrated and confused she said;
''God? Is that You?''
'' No '' was the reply.. '' I'm the ice skating rink manager and there is NO FISH under the ice!!''
12 AnswersJokes & Riddles1 decade agoHow many ppl feel Republicans only care about power, & not people or the planet?
Even before Bush was elected, I saw this comming. I always felt compelled to have both parties in washington as each has valuable ideals. Now, I'm not sure I EVER want to vote for a Republican again. I'm feeling like if it wasn't for Democrates we would be in a communist country without ANY constitutional rights, as they continue to;
1. Break laws and not get punished for it.
2. Change the law to only favor their party.
3. Kill my chances of EVER retireing.
4. Refuse to offer working adults any safety in healthcare benifits.
5. Refuse to pass laws that force enviromental protection and independence from foreign oils.
6. Tell me when, where, and IF I can pray and continue to force their own religious rights, while stepping on mine. (seperation of church and state?)
One last question.. Do all Republicans feel that war is good for the economy?

24 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoHow hard is it for an american to migrate to other countries?
We all know the process to come here is next to impossible, and that our government, for as much as they try, are incompitant and unreliable. I'm wondering how hard is it to migrate to other countries and can immigrants work in other countries once they are there? Tell me please, that your governments aren't as stupid as mine in their processing applications. What is it like for immigrants in YOUR country. And YES, I am considering this seriously, no joke! I just want to work and live my life without all the drama or without having to support a government who supports only themselves. My husband and I want to find a country that will appreciate our hard work and goals to live a good clean life.
8 AnswersImmigration1 decade agoIs it possible for me to bring my step children to the USA before my husbnads visa is complete?
My husbands visa is in 'administrative processing'. His interview was in June but they say it can be up to 2 yrs before he is approved. Is there a way I can bring my step children here for a visit? They wont allow my husband to apply for any other type of visa until this one is complete (understandable) but I miss the kids as much as I miss him. Is there a way to keep them with both mom and dad's permission?
2 AnswersImmigration1 decade agoAfter the interview, is there anything I can do to help my husbands visa?
I married a wonderful man in May of 2006. We applied and followed all the processes of his immigration visa. A fire in my home this May allowed us to ask for expidition of his visa, and the Egyptian embassy agreed and gave him his interview. Now it's 5 months later and they will not even talk to us. They apparently only know the words 'administrative processing' and do say that they have no time limit on visa applications. What's the sense of expiditing due to emergancy if it doesn't make anything go faster? Thank God I've recovered no thanks to them, but my patience is running out and I don't know what to do or where to turn. I contacted my congressman, and the embassy tells them the same thing. 'No time limits and no answers'. If they won't tell us what the problems are, how can we correct them, and can a lawyer do anything at THIS point of our application? If I quit my job and move to Egypt, they will disqualify me as his sponcer, so we're forced to live apart. HELP PLEASE!!!
