My cousin's parental right have been terminated and her daughter is with the grandma temprarily.. And we are now looking into possibly adopting her daughter. The grandma wants us to parent and adopt the child. Her daughter is 6 months older than my baby. I am trying to research and find out what we need to do and if we would be able to get subsidies or not for my cousins daughter. This would be an interstate adoption and not sure of the steps to take. The grandma and I are going to talk more in depth next week, but didnt know if anyone else would have any ideas or have been there. We had been researching int'l adoptions and have no knowledge on domestic. Would it be different since we are cousins?
Thank you for your serious answers,

I am not trying to start a big debate. I am genuinely curious why women choose pain over an epidural.

I am 5 1/2 months pregnant and I took the day off of work to get a cavity filled, when returning to work today my boss asked how my tooth was I said fine ,but it would have to be extracted but that I would wait until after I had the baby because of the medications afterward, and his response to this was "guess you shouldn't have got pregnant then eh?" I was shocked to hear this so I then asked him to repeat what he had said, he did. When I asked him what that was supposed to mean he claimed he was just joking. Annoyed, I walked away and he proceded to ask me when my boyfriend and I were planning on getting married, and to my further disbelief said "So it was an accident eh? you know an "oops" moment?" I said that I didnt consider my child or my choices to be an accident or an oops. He said " well it obviously wasn't planned, so it would be an OOPS!" The phone rang and he answered it and that was the last of that topic. Would anyone else be as offended and what should I do?

I have been breastfeeding my son exclusively for the past 11 months. I went to the dentist and was told that I have an tooth infection and to stop breastfeeding immediately until my appointment next week to get it fixed. He said the infection can pass through the blood stream to the baby. I am also taking antibiotics which his doctor told me can cause him to get a yeast infection, to make a long story short I had to stop breastfeeding him. Since I had no waring or saved bottles so I had to give him formula, Similac Advance w/ iron. He has been on it for 3 days now and has not pooped and is acting very different than he usually acts, crying for no reason, grunting which I am sure he trying to poop. What is the best formula for a constipated baby?

Around 4 pm tonight my son was complaining from his side hurting. I brushed it off since he was sleeping and I thought that maybe he slept wrong. Then an hour later I asked him if it hurt when he would breathe...he said yes. It is 10:15 and I went in his room about 10 minutes ago and asked him if he was still in pain and he sat up and said yes and it hurts worse. My mom and dad say it is Bercitis (not sure if this is how you spell it), but I am worried it isn't....does anyone have any suggestions on what this might be? I plan on taking him to the ER, but since he doesn't have a fever...I figured it can't be that serious. Please serious answers only! Thanks.

my sister (19) and i (16) are house sitting for some people we know and they said we can do whatever in their house. we can have friends over, just no more than 5 and no boys. we agreed so tomorrow night we invited 2 friends over (ages 16 and 17) for dinner and dessert and movies. well i was on myspace and was like "what's up ya'll talk to me" so my friend wrote back and said "call me". so i did. she asked what we were doing. i told her we were house sitting. she jokingly asked if we were throwing any wild parties (she knows that we wouldn't), so i hesitated, but didn't want to lie, so i told her about tomorrow. and she was like, oh that sounds like fun. i thought it was kind of rude to talk about it without inviting her so i asked my sister if she could come to and she said sure. so now my other friend is coming. did i do the right thing? if i didn't invite her would i have been rude to her.it's not like we don't want her here. she is actually the life of any party. but opinions?

She is eating and drinking normally. No vomiting, no diahrrhea, no runny nose, no coughing and she says nothing hurts. She'll be 4 in july so can tell me if something hurts. I'm at a loss, normally it's an ear infection but she says nothing hurts and she hasn't been tugging at her ears. I've never seen a fever unaccompanied by other signs or symptons. Her temp wvers between 99 and 102 so we are taking to the doc tomorrow morning if it doesen't break for good. It has gone away and then come back and we have been giving her motrin and tylenol. Sorry so long I just wanted to give all the details. Have you seen anything like this before.

My 11 week old son can sit for a few seconds without support. Is it okay to encourage this or is he too young and will it harm him in anyway?

I am 39 weeks. 2 cm dilated, 65% effaced, baby is at 0 station or engaged....

The past few days I've had really loose bowel movements. Today I have been so emotional, I don't think I've been like this since I have been pregnant. I have been crying, screaming, and loving all day long. I've had a bunch of movements today especially. Here in the past few hours I started having light contractions every 15 minutes, then 10 minutes, now they are 5 minutes apart. They aren't lasting very long, and they are really light.

This is #3 for me, but I've never been through natural labor before. So, I'm not too sure what to watch for. I've already lost my mucus plug about 3 weeks ago.... I don't know what else you need to know.... guess I'm looking for a little bit of hope!!

Thanks everyone.

For women with this experience only, the least I want to hear is from the pro-life people, are there any side affects?

My son is about 18 months old and he keeps on taking his diaper off problem is when he takes it off he'll pee on the floor. I try to keep it on him but he takes it off again. How can I tell if he is ready for toilet training and if he's not how the heck do I keep his diaper on? I wake up in the morning to see his diaper on the floor of his bedroom.

Had ultrasound at 20 wks; the ultrasound tech/doctor said that the head was big, and said he thought the baby was 9 days older than original gestational age. Curious for insight. Thanks.

I am doubful whether i had a miscarriage on 17th this month. My period had appeared with a delay of 11 days on 17th and i passed a big blood clot with heavy bleeding and pain. Since then i have backache daily and have developed dark circles. I carried out a pregnancy test today and it showed a very dim line of testing. Was i pregnant....was it really a miscarriage....Is the test showing correct results? It has been 2 weeks that i had my periods.
