My friends and I are both interested in adoption (someday far away). Some of my friends say they think its wrong to adopt internationally when we have kids here who don't have homes. I on the other hand want to adopt internationally because while I feel bad for the children here, our government makes sure the American orphans have medical care and food and schooling. While kids in countries like Ethiopia and Liberia are barely hanging on because they're dying from starvation or deadly diseases. So I feel while it's hard for American children to grow up in the orphanages, at least they have a chance at life. Whereas children in other countries don't always have that.

Anyone agree/disagree?

My friend sarah is having twin girls around the time I'm due, and she likes the names Sophia Elizabeth and Jayden Alexandria. She wants to know what people think.

Also, I've changed my mind so much on my boy's name, and I think I found one I really love. What do you think of Xannon Xavier?

Thanks.

Someone suggested on one of my other questions to get my 4 week old daughter to keep drinking fluids (question- weird symptoms could this be a sign of something else). Well she is only drinking 1-2 oz at a time and it is about every 1-3 hours. I cant get her to drink more. She has been to the doctor and he said just keep offering it. What do I do?

I mean, I'm an 18 year old guy and I'm absolutely ashamed that Ive never had a girlfriend.

But I keep seeing that oh 16 is the average age, or 14, hell Sometimes even 8th grade. I think that is disgusting, I mean when is it going to stop.

Will there ever be a time where a 13 year old virgin is considered insane

I am 5'3" and I weigh about 165lbs. Do you think that I am too overweight to have a baby? I have been exercising 3 times a week for last 1 and 1/2 years but the scale doesn't budge. Just wanted an opinion.

I have just been up to my hospital this week and had a scan in which the sonographer has measured my baby at 9lbs in weight already, being as I have 4 weeks left and babies gain half a pound a week in those weeks, this leads to the possibility that I would have an 11lb baby!!! I have a consultant appt on the 15th and want to be induced or have a c-section at 40 weeks, what is the likelihood of this. Also I actually think that they have my due date wrong and I am actually 38 weeks. Just need to know if anyone has had similar experiance and what happened to them.

i wanted to know because i went to the gerber and beech nut websites and they both made it seem like 4-5 months is when they start eating fruits and vegetables, i'm just curious because my son is 4 months old and he just started eating rice cereal and i don't want to give him too much new stuff too fast does 4-5 months sound about right?

There are a few questions up right now asking "why do people have to have their own kids?" "Why don't you just adopt if you have fertility problems?"or "Why not just forget about it?" The one that still AMAZES ((and repulses me)) said "...are people that egotistical that they must see their DNA reproduced..?" What the heck?! This is INSANE!! Anyone else feel that these questions were wrote by people who don't understand basic biology or that got pregnant the first month, without even trying, or that has always been AMAZINGLY fertile?...
Just wondering if Im the only one thinking that this is cruel.

If you have a 20-21 day cycle and you have sex a day after your period has ended and and sex 4 days after prior to that before being most fertile what are your chances of getting pregnant. Could you have been ovulating at that time?

What is the largest family you personally know? I am just wondering because people look at me like I have two heads because I have 6 kids. I know families much larger than my own and I know I am not that rare.

My DD is 5yrs and DS is 2.5yrs and I really want another baby but I am worried it will change our family dynamics too much.
My daughter is at school now and son is nearly self sufficient :( so thought now is a good time to start trying again.

Did you struggle from 2 to 3 kids? Did you find yourself spread too thin at times? What age gap do you have and what would you recommend?

I would like to take smething to her school for her birthday. Everyone always brings cupcakes. I would like to do something different and possibly healthier than cake or cupcakes. Any Ideas. Mind that this will be a class of 3 & 4 year olds. I have prepared goodie bags with toys and stuff instead of candy. I'm just not sure want I can do instead of a cake/cupcakes.

My brother is so rude, disrespectful and unappreciative person I've ever met.

My mother is a single parent, my father left us when I was 3. My mother hasn't had it very easy, and although I didn't completely understand this when I was younger, I have so much respect for her now that I've matured.

My brother expects my Mum to drive him everywhere, buy him whatever he wants and he never helps around the house. He tells my mother to shut up and that he hates her.

I've tried to talk to him about it and to explain to him how ungrateful he's being, but no luck. I've also tried to talk to my Mum and I've told her she doesn't deserve it, and he can't speak to her like that. But what she didn't like my suggestions, so I left it.

I'm 17 and I've only got about 6months left until I leave for University. How can I show my brother that he's so lucky and she'd do anything for him?
