I would like to know why this poor child was treated repeatedly in the ER for serious burns and a dislocated shoulder....while in the care of the adoptive parents.

I'm sitting here thinking, 'she's never read some of my posts about this.' We never dealt with infertility; but I get VERY tired of reading comments when people state they're still re-living that 'non-fertile status'......and they have a gorgeous baby in their arms...through adoption. It's then...

Quote: The formula companies swear they are the same, but they are not the same for some kids as we discovered. 0--eagleswings216 AMEN, to that one! I can't stress that enough......the formulas are NOT the same when discussing liquid RTF vs the powdered type. After...

When i started i pumped like 6-8 times a day and id get like 2 drops at every pumping and i just added them to the...

well, what Ive realized is that this whole thing will be left to us except the legal paperwork...not much guidance. Fortunately, you all were right! We talked about things and I feel so much more relaxed and honestly it seems like she is too. Im just so happy that communication is coming more...

I confess that all your virtual hugs and nice thoughts made us all feel better. My kids were pretty impressed that we were being hugged from all over the country. Thanks, guys! I confess that the drop-off went pretty well this morning, until the kids' grandparents showed up. Due to the...

We talked generically about a sibling. We didn't tell our daughter till the day we picked up our baby boy from the hospital. She adjusted very well and was thrilled. Best Wishes

Sweet Lord, is she still at it? When will she learn her lesson and stop this?

Alright here is the order of things that have happened for me so far. 1/26/12 Mailed Return to Fresno CA 1/28/12 Signed for by the IRS 2/8/12 "WMR Said" We have received your tax return and it is being processed. Unless there is a processing delay or you owe other taxes, you should...

I'm not willing to divide on gender lines. Yes, I believe that men and women do things differently, but I've seen that my kids individually have individual temperaments and this seems to be more of a factor than their gender. The one adoptee I know personally who purposefully did a search and...

I would love this list, if you could pm me as well. One of our daughters was adopted in FL, we would love to go back there to adopt again, but the agency we used changed their fees.

February 22, 2012, 4:42 pm

Looking for an agency for our second adoption. Our first agency went up $6,000 and now bmom fees are at risk, so we are looking for a new placing agency. We are hoping for an AA or bi-racial infant, with an agency that preferably doesn't ask for fees (under about 20k) until match. This would...
