Getting referrals.

deborahkat @deborahkat (519) • Brazil 7 Jan 09

I don´t know if that happens only with me. But it´s quite difficult to get free referrals for my programs, ptcs and so on. I am getting little and most of them don´t be active. Tell me guys, does this also happens to you and if...

A friend has asked me to take her to planned parenthood to terminate her pregnancy. I always felt that this was a choice of the mother,but now I am not so sure,as I am being directly confronted with my beliefs. She met a man and...

heartmomjules I wouldn't do it. Sure, she would find another ride and that's fine, it's her choice to make, but I, personally, would not be involved in helping her destroy a baby she actively sought to create. And to go a step further, based on how you describe her to be, I...

heartmomjules In almost every state, if not all, if you go to your county or state agency to adopt, you do not have to be making a certain amount of money a year, only enough to cover your expenses. There are so many foster children waiting for homes, you could absolutely...

Should I adopt her?

ComputerK1ng @ComputerK1ng (79) • United States 14 Jan 07

My sister is 18 and had a kid at 16. She still is very immature and even with having a child she refuses to grow up. Now she has decided to go to the army. She told my mom that mom would either have to adopt the baby or she was...

heartmomjules I would definitely consider it, but only by going through all the legal channels. A 2 year old is very attached to the people they love and if you have the ability to care for her and give her all she needs, then yes, do it.

adoption, would you consider it eventhough you were single?

heartmomjules Yes, I would absolutely consider adoption if I were single and had the time and resources to provide for a child. I have two kids, both adopted, so I know how wonderful adoption can be. In terms of being approved, most agencies will absolutely approve a single...

How many children for you?

heartmomjules @heartmomjules (17) • United States 26 Feb 07

My husband and I are parents of two children - our daughter is 6 and our son is 18 months. They are both adopted and, in fact, my son's adoption just became final about two weeks ago. We always thought we would have three kids,...

heartmomjules You have a good point about the teasing. Our hope is that with a daughter 4 and a half years older than the oldest boy, that our girl would have her friends and interests and then the boys would hang together. I feel like with such an age difference between...

heartmomjules There are a lot of good things about having one child. It's a good ratio for sure - two parents to one child. Plus you have way less time to wait to be able to do more grown up things with your kids and if you like to travel or go anywhere at all, it is way...

heartmomjules I feel that way, too, about three kids. I come from a family of 5 and my husband has only one sister. It just seems like 3 is a good place, although I think most of my siblings think it's crazy, since two have no kids at all and one has only one and the other...

heartmomjules I think it's great when people recognize when they wouldn't be able to take care of a child, or another child, in your case. For a long time, our daughter was our only child and it was really pretty good like that, too. We were a good team.

heartmomjules That's very frightening, but I think it speaks to what kids are seeing at home. Lots of parents let their kids watch tv/movies that are too mature for them and have themes that they are too young to understand. Many children are exposed to the news and...

heartmomjules I've never used one. I have a daughter who is 6 and we spent a lot of time chasing her around when she was younger. My son is 18 months old and is really comfortable in the stroller and easy going when he's out of it, so we've never had a reason to use one. If...

Do you ever feel like your child is a walking advertisement?

mememama @mememama (3076) • United States 25 Feb 07

It just hit me today that my son has baby einstein logos on his toothbrush, Elmo on his shoes, Diego on his jacket, spiderman on his pajamas, and Mickey Mouse on his t-shirt. He's only 18 months! Why does most everything have some...

heartmomjules This is a funny qiestion to me because I try very hard not to have my kids wearing all kinds of logo things. My mother in law, however, is constantly sending stuff with all kinds of logos to my kids. Barbie, Dora, Bratz for my daughter and Thomas, Elmo, Bob...
