raleyfamily She's your daughter, don't let other people tell you how to raise her. Enjoy her, finger sucking and all. These little years are over so quickly, and it's hard growing up. I still remember my little daughter cuddling on my shoulder, and that moist little thumb...

If you are Christian does it make you bad if you sometimes use bad words or watch violent movies? My cousins grew up not being aloud to watch TV because my aunt is so religious, but they are very sheltered children.. So am I a bad...

raleyfamily The "everything is permissible to me" is a quote Paul is saying, because there are quotation marks around it. It is found twice in 1 Corinthians: in chapter 6 verse 12, and in chapter 10:23. Just above this verse in chapter 6, he tells us the sins that will...

raleyfamily I didn't make myself quite clear, we saw the doctor, and he recommended we take him to the Child Study Center to be evaluated. It may take up to six months to get in there. And thanks, marguicha, for the compliment. All I did was adopt a little guy I loved!...

raleyfamily We are very far from rich. We don't live life like the average person, but I believe our life is more full than the average person, too! And if you are faithful, I don't believe God will give a lamb without providing a pasture. I don't work outside my home,...

Some says it's okay to marry a divorcee while others says otherwise. What does the Bible say about this? What are your views?

raleyfamily If it's in the Bible it should be preached. Because ignoring it will not make it go away, or make the consquences for not obeying this clear teaching go away.

raleyfamily If you have finalized the adoption, then I'm sure she has no rights. Even if you have an open adoption, they are not enforceable, although, morally, it would be right to keep your promise. If you had an open adoption, you would have had to agree to that, and...

raleyfamily The real mother is the one who has walked the floor with the child at night, who agonized over illness and broken bones, who wiped runny noses and poopy bottoms, who raced to the doctor when the child needed stitches. The one who calmed temper tantrums and...

raleyfamily As an adoptive mother, let me say they have NO RIGHT to get their "kid". They gave up those rights a long time ago, they signed legal papers saying they could not or would not raise him and they gave him to someone else who took over this responsibility. A...

This cry is aimed at those parents that buy everything their children desire regardless of the cost, and allow their kids to push the boundaries further than you allow your kids.. Peer pressure is right there for five-year olds,...

raleyfamily Well, I'm worse than you, because my children have no hand held games, although they do have a lap top that they do school on, with a filter turned up HIGH, and they may only use it in the living room. They are not allowed to have a facebook until they are 18...

raleyfamily I don't believe in a population explosion. We have a country place and they are very healthy, even though two of the adopted ones were born heroin addicted. By the worlds standards they may not have a lot, we don't have tv, don't watch movies, and they don't...

raleyfamily Churches should never just hand out money, but mentor the people in trouble. Churches are here to 'admonish and edify' the Bible says. It also says if a man will not work, he should not eat. If a family is having financial trouble, the church's job is to help,...
