What is the likelihood of being able to adopt as a single mum to 1 working part time? It breaks my heart to think of my son never having a sibling.

Hi everyone. I wonder if anyone can please help. We are currently in process of my partner adopting my oldest son. His dad has never been in the picture. They have requested us to reach out to my son’s dad for consent. Although I had stressed to them that I am blocked on all social media accounts. Seems as thoug...

I’m a step mom to my husbands two kids (5 and 8). The older one I have known since before we were together so he calls me Jordan. When we got custody of them three years ago, the little one was two and called me mom as he was still learning to talk, and once he heard the oldest calling me Jordan he quickly caught on...

My son was born in England to me (fully English & British Citizen) and his dad (fully Lithuanian & Lithuanian citizen). His dad was born in Lithuania to two Lithuanian nationals, has a Lithuanian passport, and is a Lithuanian citizen by birth and nationality. Does anybody know if it is possible for our child to hav...

Hi just coming to ask to see if I’m just being an awful person or if this is normal to feel in my situation. So my kids dad has just had another baby, our youngest is 10 months. I didn’t really deep the situation till it was born and when I found out my heart literally sank, and not even because he had a baby, it’s...

If you had more than one egg retrieval, how did your results vary when you compare cycles? Did you retrieve more eggs the first time or on subsequent cycles? Did more eggs fertilize/become embryos on the first round or later cycles?

I often get asked how are you going to explain this to your son when he asks why he doesn’t have any siblings. I can imagine all only children will ask why they’re the only one at some point (not out of upset more out of curiosity) especially when they compare other families at school it just happens. We are one and...

His dad hasn't really been there like he should but this is our first son and he wants him to be a JR after him I'm kinda iffy about it and everyone around us is telling me to just let him have his son named after him but I feel like that's earned honestly but I don't want to not do it and regret not doing it becaus...

A friend of mine unfortunately lost her only child. My heart is completely broken for her. my oldest and her son were only a couple months apart in age so we experienced pregnancy and raising our children at the same time. in a strange way, I felt very connected to her, even though I no longer live near her. i trie...

Should I do dna through CMS? Ex says he wants his rights not currently on birth certificate

I took 3 this morning, the first one is the first one i took and the 2 under i took after . Im freaking out 😑 i have a 16 month old. I cant breathe thinking about another baby

Is it selfish if we as parents choose to only raise one child?

My egg retrieval is set for Tuesday morning. This is my first time. Any do’s or dont’s or things I need to know before Tuesday?? Thanks so much!

As primary custodial parent do we have to report everything to the non custodial parent that is barely there ?
