Pregnancy & Parenting - 6 February 2007

I just found out that my cousin had an affair and got the girl pregnant.
His wife and him are trying to work things out together. The girl has called my cousin and told him he could have full custody if he wanted it , but if he didn't she was going to adopt the baby out. She has already given up two other children. My cousin's wife has decided that she can't handle the baby.

I have been asked if I would consider adopting the baby myself. I live in Alabama and everyone else involved lives in Texas. I am still in the thinking stage with all of this, but wanted to get some opinions. Also, I wanted to see if anyone knew where I would have to start, if I adopt in Alabama or Texas. And anything else I might need to consider.
Thanks

I AM 18 YEARS OLD. I HAVE BEEN WITH MY BOYFRIEND FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS NOW. I AM ALSO IN THE AIR FORCE. DURING CHRISTMAS, WE HAD SEXUAL INTERCOARSE AND ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATER I FOUND OUT I WAS PREGNANT. I AM NOW 8 WEEKS PREGNANT AND NEITHER OF OUR PARENTS KNOW. I ONLY LIVE WITH MY MOTHER BUT IM SCARED SHE MIGHT BE MAD. HOW CAN I POSSIBLY BREAK THE NEWS TO HER?

Please my cousin is going to have her 2&3 child soon, but she won't tell us if it's a girl/girl, boy/boy, or boy/girl! Names for all three of these catagories greatly appriciated! I added all the names I have collected, but short, exotic or just plain traditional ones to add to my list would be wonderful!

Nala Grace Jones is the most disrespectful child ever. She's my daughter so no worries... We shower her with gifts yet she STILL talks back/hits/kicks/punches it's getting to be way too much for me to handle. I shower her in gifts because I feel sorry for her and I love her. Should I buy her more gifts?? we have the money I'm serious I hear bribery works miracles

I am occasionally getting zits on my earlobes, neck, back, arms, chest and even in my nose! They hurt! I know the face is a normal place to get them, but is it normal for those other places? I wash daily, but they always come back! Is there any cure?

If you look at my question about depression you'll see that my grades are going down. Way down. I'm not a stupid kid, I'm just not as ...I don't know... motivated? I prefer thinking about my life than thinking about lessons and I have a VERY short attention span. It's becoming a challenge to even sit down and study for 30 min.

What do I do? I'm scared I'm not going to pass the sixth grade. (My school has the PASS program. You cannot have anymore that ONE D or F.) I have an F in science, a C in humanities and spanish (maybe a D in spanish, I'm not exactly sure), a d in Langauage Arts, and a B, maybe C, in Math. How do I get all A's?

OK, Serious question! I know it sounds mocking and funny, but I'm serious.
I went to a pregnancy screening and one of the off the wall questions they asked was do you ever feel the urge to eat dirt? I laughed and wrote "no!"
but now... ever since I read that...
Like that Orbitz gum commercial where the girl eats dirt....(Dirty mouth? Clean it up!) actually looks appetizing!
What's up with that?! Why did the Dr even ask that? Does it mean you could have an iron deficiency or something?

It's just when she is fed and her diaper is changed and I have played with her and leave her in the bouncer seat and walk out of the room for a quick second she cries adn when I return she stops. She does this too when I put her down after holding her.

Background info. I'm from Australia, these are all normal, recognised names, so if you're not aware of them, please keep your comments civil. Please also give an explanation if you don't like. Instead of just NOT JOSHUA (for example).
Thanks in advance for your input.

Also, what are some nice ("normal") middle names. Our surname starts with S, so we want to avoid Grace or anything ending in an S sound.

The girl am to marry she has hard head kids.I try to be nice but her kids are very disrespect. They talk back to there mom, if the girl who is 15 don't get her way she tell her mom she going to call the cops on her, she calls her mom a ho when she mad, she won't clean her room, she told me to shut up f you in so on. The son he is 9 he ok but he talks back too tells his mom I hate you and the oldest when told to do something he always says later. It takes him 4hours or more to do something, because he can't do it right now because he watching something or playing a game. Her dauther is the worse one. She has told me off lot's of times. There out of control. I can't do nothing am not there father. I was going to leave 3 times already. I hold back because I love there mother. I get mad with her (the mom) becasue she don't really do nothing. She just talks to them in a clam voice. "Don't do that honey" like that really works. In she knows it don't. I think they need a old fashion speaking.
