Do you like to eat all of your restaurant food or take some home to eat later? My favorite way of eating in a restaurant is to share the food. It is fun to split a sandwich, for example. At the moment, though, I am eating some...

It has been raining a lot here lately. I told my kids they could build an inside fort and they said they didn't know how. I guess none of their foster parents ever let them build one before. After we got it built, they played in...

ladyhope I always enjoyed building forts when I was young. I guess I am lucky that my parents let me. Most of my friends weren't allowed to build forts in their houses. Now I always build them with my younger cousins and will definitely let my future kids build...

I need one where I can read about what my foster son should be doing developmentally each week. His mother only has an IQ of 40 and I want to see if he is behind other babies or not. I think he's pretty smart, but then I'm a...

jess368 I think the psychologist Jean Piaget has the best developmental schedule and I have provided a link that describes each stage. Although these stages have nothing to do with IQ, they are helpful and I think important for foster/adopted children.

It's a boy. We got him when he was 2 days old. He is 6 weeks old now. He is so cute and we are so in love with him it's not even funny. For those of you who think that foster parents get paid too much, it's not true. We get 15...

makelifehappy That is weird Medicaid doesn't cover it, my son is on it and it seems they cover almost anything he ever needed, though I remember when he was born it was done through my insurance and actually the doctor who delivered him, so maybe that makes a...

RK Finnell They used to cover it. Why did you have him circumcised? It isn't a necessary procedure.

Dr. Ann To be honest, no I don't think that Medicaid needs to pay for that category of procedure unless it has been deemed medically necessary, but I agree that when parents give good foster care they are always giving more than they receive moneywise. When they do...

I told my boys that they need to get an early start on deciding what to be this year instead of waiting till the last minute. They can't think of anything. Any suggestions? They are 13 and 16. What are you going to be?

melanie1208 I remember feeding my daughter at that age every 3 to 4 hours. It depends on how many ounces she could finnish. Try to wait a little while until he is 5 months old and start feeding solid. I fed my daughter when she was 5 mos old. I used to cook chicken soup,...
