I was just wondering how soon can a adoption take place when adopting domestically.
Do you have stories? Thanks in advance!
(My husband and I started the adoption process last month)

My cycle is 28 days. I started spotting on 8/31 and my actual period started 9/2 therefore this month im not sure if my period is going to come sunday 9/28 or tuesday 9/30. Can i take a pregnancy test tomorrow morning and get a accurate result? Has anyone gotten an accurate result a week before their scheduled period? Thanks for the answers in advance.

My period is 10 days late & i have sore nipple & im pretty sure im pregnant. But 3 pregnancy tests said otherwise.
Has anybody been pregnant but didnt show up on a pregnancy test for a while after?
My periods are never late!

If an Australian couple wanted to adopt a child (most likely from overseas, as I’ve heard it’s a difficult and long process here) what steps would they need to take? SHould we speak to our lawyer or an adoption agency first? How do we know if an agency is reputable? What else do we need to know?
This is serious question and I would prefer answers only from those who actually know what they are talking about and are familiar with the adoption process.
Thanks.

We paid our lawyer $500.00 for an adoption of my five children(all to the same father) back in July 2008. The ex is not contesting it. The only thing we have seen so far is papers for my present husband to sign and papers that my ex signed (giving up custody) about 3 months ago. What is taking so long?

I am interested in opening a dog adoption agency, sanctuary/rescue. What would be my first steps in doing this? What kind of education should I have to make sure it is successful? If you have an experience in this field please fill me in on what steps you took to achieve this, and what things you would have done differently ect. Thanks.

What benefits whould this have? I am writing a Thesis on getting a program started through the government requiring parents to have a parenting lecture or class during their hospital stay. Any comments are appreciated. Thanks!

I have decided to take an online parenting class. I was wondering what site would be the most effective. I don’t have a credit card or a checking account so it needs to be one that is free. I have 3 kids between the ages of 5 and 11. Has anyone taken one that was effective? If so, I would like to know what site it was and some examples of how they work. It is not that I don’t know how to be a parent, but that I am just not very effective and need to do something.

I’m not talking about you personally. I’m talking about parents in general as a whole. Do you think parents (even when their children are at a young age) practice foresight? Do you think parents really take that responsibility to heart–almost like a job–and do their best?
Now, I’m talking about you. How do you feel about parenting books in general? What is your main concern as a parent? Do you think the parents who do not take parenting seriously will some day have an effect on your own children?
I’m just curious. I’ve been noticing more and more my own awareness of parenting. I’ve been really nervous (as I’m sure many parents are) about what I do now and the effects it will have on my children later. By all means, I’m confident about my parenting abilities and I’m always trying to improve but it’s so hard to figure out fact from fiction when there are so many “experts” out there.
Do you choose to follow an “expert’s” advice? If so, which one and why?
