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 have read posts on here that asks if they could be pregnant because they are A: peeing a lot more and B: Eating all the time, and hungry all the time.
I haven’t noticed more frequent peeing and just recently at 4 months started to really see a change in my hunger. Is this normal? When did it happen to you? Is it really a pregnancy symptom?

I know I can ask my doctor or google it, but I wanna know people’s personal experiences. At what week did you start dilating, if at all?
This is my 2nd pregnancy, and I heard you dilate faster than with your first.
I am currently 33 weeks preggo

He has two girls and I have two boys and it just seems like he doesn’t include me and my boys enough. Like, it’s all about his youngest daughter. If I ask him for something he delays it, or doesn’t do it, or just claims to forget. But when it comes to doing something having to do with her he’s on it. Most of the time if I ask him to do something for me it has to do with the boys. What’s up with that? Should I plan to stick it out or abort the mission?

My son is almost 2. My dad thinks I let him get away with too much. I tell him “no” all the time when he does wrong (like touch things he’s not supposed to), but my dad thinks I need to slap his hand or punish him. Usually i try to remove him from the situation. I feel he does not understand time outs yet. Does anyone have similar problem with your own parents? How do you handle it?

I am researching my great great grandfather who came to Indianana on an Orphan train sometime in the 1860′s. The question I am trying to answer is if the name we have is his birth name or his adopted name. This would depend on the Adoption laws, if even in existance at the time he came into Indiana.

I live in Florida. What happens when an adult wants to adopt an adult, (in Florida the original parents/birth parents have to consent) but the birth parents do not consent?
What happens when this occurs?
Also, where do you file for adult adoption?

My husband and I had twin boys placed with us two months ago. Family and friends have been really wonderful and provided us with a lot of clothes and toys for the boys. Now it looks like there is a real chance we will not get to finalize the adoption at the end of the six month placement period. If our worst fears happen, what do we do with all of the adorable things our friends gave us?

If I conceieved Feb 11-16 when will I start showing signs? When can I take a pregnancy test? Help! I am so excited but very scared too, this is a big year for me my boyfriend and I are getting married this summer, and now maybe a child.

I know there are a lot of parenting books out there, child psychology books, baby and me, etc. I know there are psychological theories about the stages that a child goes through when growing up, and I am a firm believer of it. Do any parents agree? And the ones that do, do you find the books helpful? And the ones that don’t, why? I talked to my mom, and she told me that she never read any of those books, and well I turned out just fine! I’m going to medical school and going to be a doctor soon.
