I'm not some OLD COOT. I'm a young guy and I see so many GOOD LOOKIN GIRLS get involved with THE LOSER TYPES and walk around with THAT GUYS KID(S) like they're so proud. They don't even marry them. Sometimes it's kids by 2-3 different LOSERS. WHAT GIVES???

Is there any evidence that shows abortion legalization has impacted adoption rates (U.S. and globally)? Please cite source.

Has U.S. adoption changed for the better or worse since the 1970's?

My 17 month old son is starting to hit alot and it bothers me. He seems okay until other kids come around especially his nephew. I try putting him in time out and explaining it to him that it is not right, but he continues to do it. He hits and throws things. My bfs family is starting to bother me. They are always telling me it is not normal and they don't understand where he would get it from and that they have never seen a child hit like he does...blah blah. Anyway...I don't know what to do. We do not teach him this at all. What can I do?

I believe that there are other methods of disciplining your child.
But you know how children play up and do the same things over and over again. Maybe spanking them occasionaly when they've done something spantaneous (naughty).
What are your views in that?

I'm 15, and I went to the doctor recently. Although it was unrelated to the reason I came to see him (I have a sinus infection), he insisted on weighing me. After he saw how much I weighed (I won't go into details, but my BMI works out to 31), he pronounced me a "fat pig", and lectured me very harshly for the next six minutes. I know I need to lose weight, but was he out of line? Surely he could have been nicer? I was so embarrassed I wanted to die.
Is it okay for a doctor to say something like that? Has it ever happened to anyone else?

Thanks very much for your time.

I am interested in finding out more about my son's siblings, all of whom were adopted through Los Angeles County, California. It would be nice to have information about them, and I would also consider setting up meetings if my son wanted to. To those of you who have searched: how would I start going about this? Do you have any websites or phone numbers that might help me? Thank you so much! Aloha :)

My son is now 7 weeks old and for about the last 3 weeks nursing has started to become more of just a big sticky mess especially at night-time feedings. He gets about 2 swallows down and pops off the breast gasping for air, then relatches and does it all over again. This goes on about 5 times before he can settle down and nurse, in the meantime, I'm having a letdown that sprays all over him, me, the bed, my clothes etc... I have heard about overactive letdown, and I think it might be the problem, but I'm not sure b/c it seems to get a little better during the day, only to pick back up at night.

This is our second child and I don't recall having this much trouble with the first one, but we also ended up weaning her before we wanted to due to not having the time to pump well at work ( but that's another story altogether)

It's starting to become very discouraging, and I'm really starting to miss the "luxury" of mixing up a bottle of formula at night.

I have never had sexual intercourse, but my boyfriend and me touch each other. Is it possible to get pregnant this way?

I am 22 years old and I should probably already know the answer to this, but I don't.

My daughter is 16 1/2 and does what she pleases. She has been staying with her grandmother lately because I can't handle her anymore. she stays out as late as she wants, goes to school when she wants, sometimes gets brought home by the police. Has been picked up for smoking pot. She has been drinking and brags about it. When she does decide to come home she will start an argument with me over nothing and the screaming begins. She won't stop screaming and yelling until I give her what she wants, which I don't. It happened again tonight. I started to call the police to have her removed from the house and then she left. This also would not be the first time. She is verbally abusive to anyone that doesn't give her what she wants, including family and teachers. She has no respect for anyone or even herself. Her last two boyfriends have been 22 and even got pregnant once and didn't even care. Social services even got involved and never did anything about the boyfriends. Help!!!

I have been trying to breast feed my son by pumping my milk but my milk supply cannot keep up with how much he eats. My son will be 5 weeks old on saturday and he eats over 30 onces a day and so I have to subsitute some of his milk with formula. I try to pump on a regular basis but it is sometimes not enough time in the day to sit down and pump his milk and plus sometimes I don't get much milk when I am pumping. How can I increase my milk supply from my breast, like I said sometimes I will get alot of milk when I pump and then other times I just don't hardly get any milk. Any suggestions are helpful.

I need to write a short story as an assignment for my class...problem is, i suck at names and surnames.

Does anyone know a good English surname that goes well with the name "Aurora"?

And a name that flows with the name Karia "Kari", (Or something like Mari, insert any letter here (_)ari.

Kinda like "Bella and Edward", or "Ron and Hermione". so "Karia and ____", and "Aurora and ___"

Just a list of unique surnames that you like, and/or stand out would also help!

Thanks in advance!

..oh, and a surname for a name that you suggest would be greatly appreciated!
