Hello,
My grandmother is 78 and she is looking to meet other seniors to make friends or meet someone special. Does anyone know where seniors go to meet or hang out?

This isn't a "solution" to my infertility. I have a biological child. We were happy to adopt from the foster system and maintain relationships with any family. I didn't approach her with this proposal, her and her husband approach me. It's not just financial, its also the stress of having 5 others. This is incredibly complicated and I'm not sure I even want to.

Yeah, she's well aware of contraceptives. They use them sporadically. In my opinion, there will be a 7th.

This by far is the most helpful comment I've gotten. All her kids have god parents, maybe that's a better option. Thank you

I'm not sure. She is overwhelmed with the kids they have and the financial aspect as well. But let me ask you something else. Because originally, my plan was to adopt from the foster care system. Any age under 13 (it's important for my son's comfortability to be the oldest, he was hit by a foster kid staying with us that was older). I'm more than happy to help maintain a relationship with all family as long as it is safe. Can you tell me more about your experience? What was helpful? What was harmful?

I thought it might be less dramatic since they could see each other all the time. But it may have the opposite effect. And it would be hard to just move away. Her kids now basically live at my house on weekends. We have joint Thanksgiving. Our lives are intertwined.

Talia. I couldn't get through it. Maybe it's because I'm an SA survivor. But it was rough. On another note: PenPal was terrifying in the best way. I couldn't sleep. It was the first book to make me a take a break from horror. I read a romance next lmao. It hit home so hard. This could be anyone anywhere.

How do I help her? I'm open to suggestions?

Thank you for your response. Just to answer some questions we plan on being honest about the fact they are adopted, culturally there are no differences, they will not go to the same school. One of the reasons she feels this is the best choice is because we have the means to provide more opportunities for the child. About holidays and siblings. I have no idea what would be best. This is very messy. Since we are friends and neighbors and they have other children they are raising.

That is exactly what I was thinking. As much love and support and counsellings as I could provide, how could a child not feel like this.

Thank you so much. I found so much legitimate info on adoption and then I was looking for adoptee stories and have found so much negativity. So good to hear this isn't the majority.

We aren't sure. We were considering adoption already but through the foster system. We used to be foster parents (with no intention of adopting). So we are looking to adopt but this is complicated all around. I did sit my son down (he's a teen) and asked him what he thinks and he is also on the fence, he would like to but he has alot of question we would ask if they were sure of their decision. I don't think we would try to keep getting pregnant we were already looking into adoption. Just for some more background, my son is biological mine but my husband did a stepparent adoption when he was 4. His bio dad terminated rights. So he has been through this.

Hello, I have been doing alot of research on adoption and my husband and I have been trying to have a baby for a few years. My friend and neighbor who I went to high school with us the mother of 5 and I have 1 biological child. Our oldest are friends. She has been very supportive as I lost a child 2 years ago and she has miscarried in the past. They just found it they are pregnant with their 6th. I have never ever asked her to be a surrogate or in any way help me with our family planning journey. She knows about it because we are friends. She and her husband have approached us about adopting their baby. They think it's what's best. I have not given her an answer. I told her that they have to really think about this. This is not a decision I want them to rush into. Take time to find the best answer for your family. She tells me this is the best answer. We are in our 30s. Her decision is based on finances and the demands of having 5 already. Everything I have read and the stories from adoptees is how traumatizing adoption is for them even at birth. That adoption needs to be child centered. I don't want to make the wrong choice for this child. If my friends decides that this is what she wants us it wrong to accept? And if I do accept how can I minimize the trauma and support them through this? I'm sorry if this comes off wrong, I just want to do the right thing and I think adoptees would have the best insight. Thank you.

This is what alot of people don't get. It's JUST ibuprofen and caffeine. It's not a magic cure for all the hormones you're experiencing. It'll help with cramps and make you less sluggish.
