What is a private or independent adoption?
A private adoption, also called an independent adoption, or identified adoption, is an adoption in which adoptive parents utilize an attorney rather than an adoption agency to handle an adoption.
My son is lousy at falling asleep. Since the ripe old age of 6 months we’ve been jiggling and rocking this child to sleep. In his crib he slept through the night, mostly, and always after 20 minutes of leg numbing jiggling and rocking.
Thanks to my baby boy, whose whispers about “birdies” hatched my idea for the Discovery Window (pardon the pun).
While toddlers love the great outdoors not every day is suitable for outside play. So how can we can bring a little of the outdoors inside and a little wonder and education to our toddlers at the same time?
The Discovery Window is simple to put together and the possibilities for education and entertainment are as wide as your child’s interests.
I was kicked out of my mom’s group this week. At first I was furious, completely outraged and embarrassed. After a few days, the initial sting wore off and I realized how little I actually cared about my banishment and the “connections” made during the mommy outings. Not only was I ousted but also invited to never return again but good luck finding another mommy group. So what did I do to offend the mommy mafia?
