Will, did you check the registry and see if she registered there? You may find an email address. Good luck!

I liked the point Dickons made of "communicating through you." As a parent, I *totally* get your points about feeling you know the mom well enough to believe she'd want to bypass you and communicate directly with your daughter, and the likely potential problems and pitfalls of that. Maybe there's a solution in "communicating through", at least for now. AFA the picture,...

I am looking for a sister born March 1948, at the Salvation Grace Hosiptal Ottawa. Mother was 19 and from Pembroke, Lutheran, last name Lubitz. Your family are seaching for you.

Well thanks everyone for the advice. We talked with our agency and we are very lucky because our home study is accepted by local private agencies. Thank goodness. We have started looking at different agencies, but have been fortunate because also deals in private adoption. Samson71 what state do you live in? It seems we may be on the right road and would love to share with you! Thanks...

My bio son was not circumcised since my husband is from a country where that is not done. He is now 4.5 years old and he has never had problems. We were, in fact, relieved to find out that they don't typically circumcise boys in Russia, since it would be awkward to have one that is and one that is not. I would check with your pediatrician for his/her advice on the current state of matters when...

Alys 1 has the key - and really, if you'd like to chat or PM - I'm here...

Also, you might listen to some of Brian Post's videos on YouTube, or on his site. And Heather Forbes has an online course "Beyond Consequences." These people will amaze you with their understanding. Best of success to you and your future husband in healing your stepson.

I want to hear your story! We are now casting for the second season of Secretly Pregnant. If interested please apply with a short bio to casting@gigantic.tv

Do you know Grace's date of birth? and the state she was born in?

I was told that a calling = a desire + opportunities. I assumed that we were called to adopt based on the desire of my heart. But after 4 years of pursuing adoption (domestic, foster, international), I started to question if God really wanted us to adopt at all. Then last month, the door was permanently shut with a situation I'd rather not go into that pretty much prevents us from being able...

Let me bring this up: You mentioned that the school district isn't helping you either??? I believe I'd be phoning my state special needs advocate group (their services are free----at least in my state and I've been told most states do the same)...to inquire as to what they might be able to help with to push your district into doing what's best for the Queen. I"m not as well versed with...
