Congratulations dear. I cam tell you taht was also in your journey too. Now my son is growing old every passing day. I feel like he is my miracle baby. When I thought I will never be a mother. Many years trying to have my own family. But I thank my husband for always being with me. I can say I could not ask for anything more. Right now I am…[Read more]

In a typical independent adoption, the prospective parents take an active role in identifying a birth mother, usually by networking, advertising, or by using the Internet. Another difference between independent and agency adoption is the method by which the birth parents give their consent to adoption. In an agency adoption, the birth parents…[Read more]

The goal of foster care is typically reunification. The hope is that parents will get the help that they need to be able to safely parent their children. Foster care is meant to be temporary (and ideally, short term). Adoption is forever. Once a foster adoption is finalized, the child’s case is closed. Though there may be continued interaction w…[Read more]

I used it for each of our four adoptions and it never let me down. This is the single most important decision you’ll make, so take the time to really nail it! Doing these steps gave me confidence and saved months if not years of time later on and it can do the same for you. It’s also fun, because you get to dream big and then narrow things dow…[Read more]

Gay men also have options when it comes to becoming parents. Surrogacy is a popular choice, allowing one of the fathers to be genetically related to the child. Since the child is genetically and biologically connected to the carrier, traditional surrogacy can be risky and requires thorough legal guidance. Be prepared and always do your homework…[Read more]

One of the difficulties with choosing a baby name is that while you are researching the new names of this generation, many other expectant parents are doing the same. Often, the name that you thought was going to be so rare and original ends up being one of the most popular names for that year. There are some ways you can avoid falling into that…[Read more]

This is awesome. I am so happy for you. I can understand the pain you went through. Ttc for 5 years is long enough. The backlash and negativity you might have gotten from your family members. Even some of your fiends might start to distance themselves from you. I have been through the same journey. So I can understand how difficult it must have…[Read more]

It’s not easy being a teen. There are so many changes that can easily throw a young person off balance. Changes in the way she looks. The way she feels about herself. Changes in her peer relationships. Changes in her relationship with you, her mom. From your description, your daughter is having a hard time navigating safely. Like all teens, she c…[Read more]

While there’s nothing wrong with mixing breast milk and formula in the same container, it’s not recommended simply because you don’t want to waste a single drop of your precious breast milk. Formula from a bottle that your baby has drunk from must be discarded within an hour of preparation. Breast milk, on the other hand, will “keep,”…[Read more]

It just depends between the two of you. What age gap are you comfortable with. Do you want to stay taht long. I have seen couples giving a gap of ten years. Others just some few months. It depends with your life schedule. I can say that because of various reasons. Others want to have baby first before they concentrate on their persona life. Like…[Read more]

Well, it seems to me that you are really educated on this sector. To be honest I am new to all this. Like noting LGBTQ friendly agencies. It might have been hard for me. Since I do not put much attention to such. But for those who are in LGBTQ. This might have come as a saver for them. It shows how you care for both parties. If one is gay and they…[Read more]

Wow, this is good of you. Thank you so much. I am sure that it will help someone. Many people out here who want to donate eggs but do not know the procedure. I am sure that you will surely help. They can read through your post. And it will give them a hint of how the process looks like. Unless otherwise I am sure you have done something good. Keep…[Read more]

I know am answering this late. But I do hope that it will be of help. If not for this year Christmas event then for any holiday along the year. When dealing with budget. Sometimes it might be something difficult to work with. Especially if there is no money to show off. You can buy them things that are not expensive. Or maybe you have something…[Read more]

This is awesome. I believe that there was someone who needed that. Yours is truly encouraging. I know quite a number of friends who have been going through the same. They even gave up. Thinking that things will never work out. But I believe that what you have said can help someone. Sometimes we all just need that small kind of motivation. To know…[Read more]
