my dear daughter is 15 months and throws major tantrums, sometimes lasting 10 minutes… how would I handle this from an attachment parenting perspective.

My pregnancy has been difficult and my husband and have had many complications , Although I am now having a Healthy baby, I don’t think I could go through another pregnancy again, And am seriously considering adoption later on down the line.
How does it work If you want to Adopt a child between the ages of 2-4 (not a new born)
Do you get to go meet with several children until you find the one you have a real connection with… how does it work?

I am out of school so do not worry with helping me with my homework. LOL. But my friend is pregnant and we were trying to do pros and cons for abortion, adoption, and keeping and raising the baby. I just wanted to know what others thoughts were.

Here’s the situation. My husband and I are very close to his grandmother. She lives alone, and we visit her often. The problem is she is kind of paranoid when it comes to our daughter. It’s annoying to have answer the same old questions over and over..”When will her teeth come in?” (My baby is 7 months. She has been asking us since she was 4 months old) Is she sick? (After my daughter sneezes once at her house. His grandmother smokes in her garage which may be the problem, but I don’t want to be rude and bring this up.) And, countless other things. Sometimes it seems like she is putting down are parenting skills.
How do I tell her to butt out in a nice way. I’m afraid that one day I’m going to blow up on her, and I don’t want that to happen.

My husband and myself are raising our 4 year old son and since I have had him I have found out that I cannot have other children and we are looking to adopt a brother or sister for him but the waiting lists are so long in canada for a child he will be grow up by then. Does anyone know of an agency or someone willing to do a private adoption?

I have spoken to an adoption attorney and she says the hardest part of trying to adopt is locating a young lady who wants to put her child up for adoption. I am 38 years old and my husband and I have tried and tried for years, been through fertility treatments and nothing has worked. I just don’t think I will ever get pregnant. We are so ready to be parents, but I really don’t know how/where to start looking. Any advice would be appreciated.

How can I raise a normal child (not troubled) even if my husband and I are separated and on shared parenting arrangement

I considered subscribing to _Child Development_, a scholarly journal that publishes a lot of the leading research articles on parenting and child outcomes, but it’s subscription fee is horrendous. (Set for university libraries, not parents, I guess.)
Most magazines seem to give very short shrift to research. They interview so-called experts for ideas from time to time, but you can tell that these folks are rarely research scientists.
So have any of you found any good methods of doing this?

I am doing a debate in my Enrichment class and I need to know how much it costs to give a child to an adoption agency. Can anyone help me?

I’m thinking of starting a nation wide older child adoption initiative, and I’m weighing out some obstacles. I would like your opinion on what some stigmas are and how we can change that. Also your thoughts on the current foster care to adoption process and how we can make this better for the children. Thanks!
