i had just given birth to a baby boy abt 3 mths ago.. but he had been adopted since the 1st day im being discharged.. i really really cant take care or raise him up due to very very personal reasons.. and the story is actually very long.. i decided 2 abort him but its too late.. i was at my 26th wks then.. till now, iv keep thinkin about my baby and sometimes i even broke down in tears.. i am the biological mum n yet i cant even keep him by my side.. he was sooo innocent and he knows nothing at all.. once in awhile i was allowed to visit him.. till now, i had been wondering.. Am I Still Considered His Biological Mum?? Because i had always believed that as long as we are blood related, we are still considered both mother and child even though he had been adopted and had gone through all the paper work.. maybe im just tryin 2 deceive or 2 console myself by havin this thinking.. soo...kind souls out there... can u pls help me by solving this out-of-mind or maybe a very stupid ques.. THX!!

My husband and I are trying to get pregnant with a 4th child, but we were wondering how our 5 year old boy might react to a new member in the family.

I have just found out that all the weight my twelve year old daughter was gaining was from pregnancy! I have no idea what to do, I didn't see any signs that she was having sex, we barely let her do anything with out calling us every half hour! I thought i was one of the good parents, does anyone have any advice?

Women have had contraception and knowledge about how conception works since before I was born. So why are there so many unwanted pregnancies?

Really, how stupid can two people be? -And NO, this is not a challenge!

-And NO, I do not care to hear about how your mistake is somehow OK.

-And BTW, I believe that an UNWANTED PREGNANCY is a mistake, not the resulting child. Just to be clear.

3 day weekend, to a wedding, we're not in it, so not too involved, but need a book for the plane. And dont want one a learning one about kids or babies, or some horrible story where a kid gets abducted, abused, medical problem, etc, and my wandering thru Barnes and Noble, seemed to be all those. Something "light" both intellectually and to carry. Typically in the past like the Oprah book club type ones, Candace Bushnell. Posting here cause I want moms' advice, as I havent had a chance to read a good fiction book in a long time.

Hello, I was wondering, what are the chances of having a child with autism are if a person has one sibling and one half-sibling with high-functioning autism?
To make it interesting, let's say I have a cousin with Aspergers' Syndrome, and my partner has the siblings with autism. Both of us are very healthy, but we're concerned about having a child with austism and/or aspergers'.

I am 13 weeks pregnant and got into a very heated argument with my b/f. We both said things that we shouldn't have, however, I think that he really made some really cruel personal jabs that have really got me worried. Up until this fight we have had a super loving relationship barring a few minor spats here and there. I do realize that being pregnant can cause a woman to be more sensitive, though the hurtful things that were said have changed the relationship overnight! This will be my first child and his second....I am feeling so lost at the moment not knowing what to do. If I weren't pregnant, I would certainly consider his words to be break-up material. The fact is in spite of what he said, I know deep down that he loves me, but what should I do if he actually thinks that little of me (as suggested by his comments)? We have been basically living together for over a year now. Being pregnant, I feel trapped. I don't feel I have any other options than to stay with him. please help.

Thank you.

What is with this current trend of women/girls having babies and then dumping them on their mothers to raise?

I see it all over the place and my sister is the same.

They have a baby and then decide it's too much work and the grandma ends up babysitting all the time while the children's mother just takes it easy. How completely unfair!

If you're going to have a child - be prepared to be a mother!

Sorry but does this make anyone else cringe?

This goes out to anyone. About 2 and a half years ago someone i slept with became pregnant and I was told that it was my child. Approximatley 6 or more months ago i found out from a paternity test that i am not the father. Now i want to know how i can remove my name from the original birth certificate so nothing comes back later to haunt me.

I see so many questions posted in this subcategory that seem to be posted BY adolescents. While there is certainly a number of adolescents who are pregnant or who are parents, I think the purpose of the category is for parents OF adolescents to post their questions and answers. What do you think?

Is there another category within Yahoo! Answers that these children could post their questions about how to tell if a guy likes them or what not, besides in the Pregnancy and Parenting section? I usually choose to ignore the questions, but sometimes it is just slightly irritating seeing as how it is not in an appropriate category.

My son is almost a year old. He likes to drink water and juice and he just loves to eat. He eats all his fruits and vegetables.
My friend's 18 Month old refuses to eat any of his vegetables unless if it has lots of cheese on it. My younger cousins are still in gradeschool and they hardly eat any vegetables at all and are over weight (parents are too). I want to know what age kids start becoming picky eaters and what I can do to help my son keep enjoying healthy foods. I don't want to be a health freak or anything. He does get little tastes of sweet foods but not very often yet.

I want to get portraits done this Saturday for my son's 2nd birthday, but he cannot hold his head up, sit up, or smile. I'll be lucky enough just to keep him awake for the photos.

I just wondered if any of you could put your thinking caps on and give me good ideas of props/backgrounds/poses I can use. I will need to sit him up on something probably. He cannot lift his head up when he is on his tummy, so probably can't do that pose unless we happen to get really lucky.

I really want something cute and memorable. I just have no clue what to do.

Ok, so this guy pays child support on 2 other kids and was just recently court ordered, there is now a child support order for a third child...but from a different woman (2 with one and 1 with another, he is now paying on the 2) How will this effect the child support payments to the 3rd child?
