Adoption, Fostering & Surrogacy

I’m in a dilemma and really struggling with this. How would any of you feel about having to share your nonverbal child with her father and his current girlfriend—someone who has insulted you, mocked your mental health, made fun of your body, and sent so much hate your way? Would you feel comfortable sending your chi...

Imagine a book of advice to give to our boys. Drawing from your experience, what advice would you give, no matter how shallow or deep?

Is anyones babys dad now involved in their babys life after saying they wanted no involvement in the pregnancy or baby in the first place? If so, what changed their mind?

Hi all, quick question. How would you feel about not receiving a Mothers Day card from your partner when carrying your first child?

My son today reached for an older lady at our apartment complex. It was surprising to me as he’s never done it before. She asked to hold him and I was skeptical and refused. She seemed friendly but I never met her!

Am I kidding myself???

In the USA, eggs cost $5.81 on January 3, increased to $6.55 by January 23, $7.09 five days later, $7.52 by the end of the month and $7.86 at the start of February. Could it be the case that chickens in the US flew over the border without a visa and so are illegal migrants and ICE deported them so that's why there...

Hi girls! I had a cancelled cycle in January due to low response of the stims. Finally got a call yesterday to start again ✨ Down regulation starts on the 14th April so I'm expecting egg retrieval around 21st May and a fresh transfer 🤞🏻 Anyone else due transfers around the same time?

Anyone else relate?

I’m struggling a lot right now mentally and could use some encouragement Dear BD, I used to cry myself to sleep because the man I fell in love with is not the man I see before me now. The man I loved took pride in being a father. He was present, engaged, and spoke about his children with a love so deep it was impos...

does anyone else hate when people try to instill some sort of ‘fear’ or question you for wanting more kids…? they’re all like “are you sure you want more kids after dealing wi—“ YES I am sure! 🙄🙄 going through pregnancy all over again and then having to take care of multiple kids/babies in the end is hard of…

Girls how are we doing this? So I understand with tantrums etc we hold the boundary but in a calm and gentle manner. But what about when we are trying to get them to do something? Like get ready, she will just run away from me and if I grab her it’s then a physical battle my mother will also say to her oh if you don...

Hi all, I’m just trying to feel better about my situation. I’ve been having the worse luck ever and I’m pretty fed up with it. I’m trying to spin it around but I wondered how people’s experience has been. So basically I’m getting married this coming Sunday. My life has been hell for the last year and the wedding was...

I used to work with a friend 7 years ago. She would often bring at least 1 of her 5 kids to work for the entire day. Mind you, we worked in fast food. She made food while I was the cashier and cleaned the dining room. Her kids weren’t very well behaved and she actually gave me permission to not only get onto her kid...

I can’t even begin to imagine what goes on through the mom’s minds that defend and back up their grown son’s actions especially if it effects the child. It feels almost inhumane that a mother can watch their child physically and emotionally abuse the mother of their grandchild and not say anything… But when I’ve ha...
