Sorry!I have a real problem with BS meaning Birth son. I put that in the same category as birthmom for birth mom.
TPR-Termination of Parental Rights ICPC-Interstate compact for the placement of children BCIS-New name for INS=Immigration |

Aspenhall,
Many thanks for this acronym thread. I have been communicating electronically since the early 90's and never knew what LOL stood for and now I do. This thread has been a hoot and I am LOL. There, first time I've ever used it. Tim |

You're all VERY welcome
I thought, ok I am a reasonably intelligent person....but it took me 3 months on these boards just to figure out the first ones!
And with all the confusion lately, I just said WTH (what the heck!) Here are some more THX ....means Thanks TY.......means Thank You YW ....means You're Welcome CW....means Case Worker *grins* means the person is grinning at you *hugs* means the person is hugging you and really anything inbetween 2 asterisks means that person is doing an action *looks to see if anyone is laughing* *blushes* DOB....means Date Of Birth The only real reason for any of these abbrev.'s is because we spend so much DANG time on this forum posting msg's (messages) that the less typing we gotta do....the BETTER! Lets keep it at the TOP of the list!!! TY everybody for your support! *group hug*

I almost forgot...
SIL , BIL, MIL, FIL.........are the In-Laws....Sister in Law etc.... and TTC means Trying to Concieve PG means Pregnant MC means Miscarriage PCOS means Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome IVF means In Vitro Fertilization IUI means Intra Uterine Insemination By the way, there are some abbreviations that are used so much for so long that the actual meaning is forgotten by some and actually unknown by the younger generation!!! IE, ATM, VCR, CD, DSL, to name a few!
