I am writing an editorial and need some reasons why adoption is important. I have a sister that is adopted and think it is very imporant in some cases.

There are thousands of bad books – but what are some good ones, recommended by counsellors? Our daughter has difficulty with things like self-discipline and mixing with people. Thanks.

I am in reunion with my older brother who was given up for adoption. We just met 4 months ago, and I had just found out about him even existing. We have become close, and I am looking for some good upbeat quotes about the connection of a brother and sister.

I know I can’t get a cat, but I really like to look at the ones online in adoption centers. Do you guys have some links? Thanks!

What causes some kids to become ‘bad’ though they’ve been raised with good parenting skills?

I know they have sites for people getting married to fill in information about the couples, where they are registered, etc for their families and friends. I cannot find any good sites for personal pregnancy pages. Any recommendations?

My daughter is turning 6 and I was wondering if there was a good book to help me with the attitudes and her changing behavior and how to handle her moods already!! Thanks.

I have often heard Conservative types preaching about how some poor child has been “saved” from a life of “poverty” with a penniless single mother and adopted by a wonderful middle class couple who can provide them with all they want.
Yet here we have two ostensibly “perfect” parents – middle class doctors – doping up their children and leaving them alone while they go out with their friends!!!
I know penniless single mothers on housing estates who would never, ever do that!
So why do we assume that just because someone is rich and successful they will be a better parent than someone who is poor and disadvantaged?
My cousin and his wife are two wealthy successful career people and their 18 month old son has all the expensive toys etc you could want. Yet he spends up to 10 hours per day *every day* in daycare while his parents pursue their careers. to me thats not good parenting. I don’t understand why they even had a child because they never see him!!!

As a mother, I am always reading about parenting. My husband has been feeling a little guilty about not learing about parenting as much as me, and wants a good book for Dads. Anyone know of any that are full of practical information about raising children. yet based on good sound psychology and child development?

Adolescent crime is becoming a big thing. Most people said that better parenting would help reduce the problem. What changes or practices would you consider helpful in combating adolescent crime?
