My cousin and his girlfriend want my husband and I to adopt their baby when it is born next year, and they want an open adoption. What kind of paperwork goes into an open adoption? Is it basically the same as a closed adoption? What kind of rights do the birth parents keep with an open adoption? My husband’s and my biggest concern is if they will have the ability to take back the baby if they change their mind.
You have 9 months in a pregnancy and 40 weeks. How many weeks are considered to be in each month or trimester.
Both mothers and fathers having 50% custody of their child(ren)? Presuming that both parents are fit, present and able which is the majority of parents.
What kind of parenting style do you use with your children?
Example:
Are you stern, liberal, the tough love type etc..
True you could explain a lot of things that need to be explained. But would forcing people to do this really a good idea, especially when it’s already offered by most hospitals?
Thoughts?
I’ve only been off the pill 10 weeks and I think I might be pregnant. My period is 5 days late, my boobs hurt, and I’ve had three positive pregnancy tests over the past 4 days. I did each test on a different day. It feels too good to be true so I’m worried. What are the chances that three tests would be wrong?
The first response pregnancy test to be exact. I’m not pregnant, I took it today and it came out negative but I’m just curious anyways. Thank you!
My wife and I are getting ready to go onto an adoption list and they have to do a home study and we are going to have physicals. What are they looking for in both of them?
I know that there are some stresses, like attending all the house chores and work related issues while tending to the child at the same time. But I was just trying to complile a list of things. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I feel like a lot of the advice that books and magazines give is misleading, and makes people think they are bad parents when they are really not. What “standard advice” do you really disagree with?
