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 a student and I want to plan my pregnancy so that I deliver during vacation. What are some tips to do that; with irregular periods?
[If you will lecture me about how I should not plan when to get my baby; please save your breath].

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!

Other than taking the child out of his or her home country, why is international adoption frowned upon as an alternative to adopting in the US?

I want to work with kids and I would like to work at an adoption agency and become one of the higher people there…what do i need to do?

I would love to do an international adoption! It’s just something I’ve always dreamed about. I’ve read on several websites and most of them only allow people 25+ to apply, sometimes 30+. Since the wait can normally be so long I’d like to apply a year or two before then. Does anyone know of international agencies that allow this? If not, it’s really not a problem. I’ll just wait. Any advice on international adoption would be appriciated. Thank you!

Like I hear people say that “that kid is just too smart.”
Or is it parenting skills that determine how smart someone becomes. Not just parenting skills but parents being ideal role models like parents who are always reading, always having intellectual conversations, parents who give weekly pep talks, etc. etc.
I’m a nice guy but I’m not the smartest guy in the world and I attribute it to my parents. They are not the smartest people themselves, they’re not the most hard working, stuff like that.
What do you think.

For kids what are some good parenting techniques that are healthy?

I want to know about everything about pregnancy and delivery. I have read “What to expcet when expecting” but I want to hear it from real women who have different ideas and have seen things in a different way. Please do not tell me just read “What to expect when expecting” the last question I asked that is all they told me. Thank-you!
