You Could Always Adopt. . .

I have finally arrived. We adopted our first son in Nov. 2007 after having him almost 2 years! We're still on the foster parent rollercoaster ride hoping for more.

Prayers Please

My former foster daughter is pregnant. She wanted to give it up for adoption to us but the pregnancy is eptopic.

She refused to take the medication for it to pass. I know this can be life threatening, so worried for her.

Am I correct in assuming with an eptopic pregnancy there is no possible way for the baby to grow and survive? Risking mom's life will not save the baby right?

I just want all the facts because if I have the opportunity to talk to her I want to be correct in advice. I would never be one to talk someone out of a pregnancy risky to their health, but I am afraid in this case there's nothing to save the baby.

I admire her faith in this. Monday morning doctors will perform surgery if it hasn't passed.

If you follow me on facebook, PLEASE do not bring this issue there because I want her confidentiality protected. I just needed to share somewhere to get the worry off my chest.

Discrimination?

I picked up Smiley from daycare and was notified that he cannot attend there anymore after he turns 4, because they are only licensed to take kids under the age of 4. Sounds, fishy, considering they've had kids over 4, but I accept that and they send me home with a letter...

The first paragraph explains the age issue which is fine, but the second paragraph says that there had been some changes in their liability policy which precludes them from keeping children with any physical, emotional, or mental disabilities. The next paragraph reccommends(yes, they make a reccommendation) that Smiley be placed in a special school where he can receive the attention and training they cannot provide and that he has the potential to live a better life with proper schooling.

Ok, I really don't want to sound like a bitch and expect them to cater to my kid, but he's not much different than a 1 yr old child, and the size of a 1 yr old child.

So any legal people here? Help me out.

Can insurance company from a STATE CERTIFIED daycare really tell them they cannot accept any children with disabilities? If so, then technically Smiley should have to drop out now, not on his 4th birthday in 3 weeks right?

Made it Back

Had(still have I think) another computer virus and was blocking me from logging on blogger.

Also, started and now addicted to f@cebook, so been hanging out there a while.

Kids are fine.

Smiley is walking all over the place and J is talking up a storm.

Since teaching didn't work out, attempting to commit to working with lifeteen at church, assuming foster parent drama doesn't interfere too much.

I'll catch up more later.

You know you're a coon a$$ when...

You can pull your boat with your riding lawn mower.

You modify the tires for this lawn mower when it gets stuck in the mud pulling the boat.

You can also successfully launch a boat on your lawn mower.


This is a true story from D. And I thought we lived in cajun country.

What I would have gave to have been driving down the road to witness this.

Who says teenage foster kids aren't any fun.
