I love this question! It boggles the mind on so many levels. There is a definite philosophical aspect to your inquiry of whether it's "wrong." Is being fat and trashy wrong? I don't think so. Unhealthy and unhygienic maybe, but not wrong. Is having illegitimate children wrong? I'll leave that one to the church goers. Is collecting welfare wrong? It can be, yes. If you intentionally brought living beings into the world for the purpose of being able to collect money so you don't have to work, there is a lot of open territory for people to snipe you. I personally don't agree with it. I believe it's amoral and irresponsible, but if it is "wrong," I cannot say. If someone can make their way through this life without having to work their butts off for less than they deserve, more power to them. But not when you bring other people into the picture, and not at the expense of a tax-paying society. Aside from the kids, though, as long as you keep to yourself and don't harm anybody...well, do what ye will.

i do no longer understand, Mozz. I stay with my teenagers, although that's driving me loopy. i'm fortunate that my husband makes adequate funds that i do no longer could collect advantages. surely, i can't take care of to pay for to artwork. Daycare could fee greater advantageous than this instructor can conceal. i understand that the unmarried mom difficulty sucks. i'm no longer a actual unmarried mom, yet I play one whilst my husband deploys. for the reason which you insisted that we take a place, I say that welfare is larger. teenagers are purely abode from college for 5 years, then you somewhat can pass make the money back. that's what welfare is for. It facilitates you whilst you're in want, then you somewhat pass back to artwork and pay it back. EDIT: here comes the "SAHMs sit down on their butts and don't something" crowd! everybody who says that has on no account stayed at abode with teenagers. i've got carried out the two. i became a working mom and now i'm a SAHM. they are the two stressful.

have always said and will continue to say it instead of welfare those who receive help need to work at some sort of job in order to receive assistance.

Why I joined IFC? By Valerie Center

When my husband and I adopted our first son, Jeremy, from DC's Department of Human Services, our social worker gave us an old IFC newsletter. I remember looking at it and thinking it looked interesting, then I got caught up in the excitement of a new baby in the house and put it aside for about a year. I came across it again one day while I was organizing some paperwork, and decided to join.

I probably got the newsletters for about a year before we decided to come to the annual picnic at Wheaton Regional Park. This was probably around August of 1995 or 1996 -- Jeremy would have been 2 or 3 years old by then. I remember looking for the pavilion, and suddenly coming up to a large group of families, many who looked just like us -- White parents and African American children. It just felt so great to be in a group where we weren't the different ones" for a change!

We were warmly welcomed, and I really felt this was a great group to belong to. I felt it was important to expose Jeremy to more events where he could get to know other trans-racially adopted children.

After that, we slowly got more involved. Our second son, Peter was adopted in 1997 and his first IFC outing was a picnic at Reena and Tom Bernards house. A few years later, I became Corresponding Secretary and held that position for about 5 years.

We have been coming to IFC events for almost 10 years now, and I consider many of the past and present IFC members to be my friends. It's nice to be around people who can completely understand the unique challenges of being part of a multi-racial family.
