My new baby cousin was born less than a week ago and I just saw some pictures of Facebook of what he looked like. It kind of got me thinking about when I am at that stage in my life to have a child. I can only imagine the feeling of bringing someone into this world how emotional it must be. Also how it must be when you are not ready to have a child, good examples would be 16 and Prengant. Having a child is one of if not The biggest responsibility you will ever have; and just being a child yours

It can be very difficult sometimes to get your toddler to go to sleep. It is even more difficult to do so when they do not want to. You would have tried to establish a routine but at times that could fail too. Once a toddler decides to play and not sleep, it is extremely tough to change their mind. Parents need to be patient and try to coax them into sleeping at such times.
When a toddler refuses to sleep and no amount of convincing and coaxing helps, you should know a few tricks and techn

The Risk Takers

Who knows what made them do it? Fall of 1934, bad year for gangsters, growth time for Nazis, a gas-house gang of a different stripe than Dizzy Dean and his Cardinals who tamed the Tigers in another Clyde Beatty Depression distraction, continued in Bernie Bierman’s Golden Gophers, Giants in the Earth plowing to national success year after single-wing year, and Jimmy Braddock looking for fights, winning, losing and grabbing the Max crown that shunned him. My paren

Dear Wesley,

My name is Jacque. I hope you know my name. I am the one who created you. The one who loved you even though I couldn’t see you. The one who put my life on hold so you could be here. The one that has loved you before you knew what life was. I am your birth mom.
Wes, I specially chose your mom and dad and older sister for you. I met them, and befriended them, and they are the greatest family in the whole world, trust me, I would have never let anyone less than perfe

When you break it down,there's really no easy choice.

Abortion? Adoption?

Keeping and raising the baby when you, yourself are so young in life? Either way, whatever decision you make will effect your life forever,right? It was just about three months ago that I learned that I'm pregnant. I'm turning seventeen next month and a few months ago that would've seemed like the coolest thing in the world. Getting my license and growing up,huh?

But now all I can thin

Awareness is raised for many good, important causes. Trying to stop the spread of AIDS. Promoting racial equality and harmony. Ending world hunger.

Yet they all stem from one core cause: life. They are attempting to sustain and improve the quality of life for people.

If I could dedicate a month to raising awareness, it would be for the sanctity of human life. Every stage of life should be respected. The beginning of life is just as important as any other point in a person

Dear Elliana,

My sweet little girl, I love you so much. The instant that pregnancy test had two lines I began to fall in love with you. As the weeks progressed and my belly grew I began to love you even more, if that was possible. I just knew that you were a girl, long before the ultrasound ever said so. I had bought you a cute pink baby book since I was so sure.
You loved when I read to you. You would sit still except for pushing your feet into my ribs. I l

I struggled with infertility for 14 years. After long years of heartache, disappointment and fears of never being a parent,we were blessed with the gift of life from my best friend. Her and her husband came to Jon and I as a family and offered to be a surrogate for our remaining embryos. Sharing the journey of surrogacy is a whole different tale that perhaps I'll tell later. This however, is the story of our daughter's birth.

Ántonea's arrival into the world was much anticipated

Being born a premature baby is not smooth sailing. Premi's, another name for premature babies, encounter many diseases, disorders, and sicknesses because their body or immune system has not had enough time to develop. I myself was a premature baby. I weighed a mere Two pounds and twelve ounces at birth and was kept in the hospital for six months until my immune system was strong enough for me to go into the real world. Many people are not aware of all of the things premature babies go through a

They say there is a correct way of doing things. Being from a large Catholic family I am very aware of this. It has been instilled in me from a very young age. Even as a small girl in my Catholic school uniform (knee highs and all) I can remember chanting little songs, "First comes love. Second comes marriage. Then comes Amy pushing a baby carriage."

But what happens when you try that route, and it just doesn't work for you? Is that it? Is your happiness over? Do you sit around

Why now also children are found in hotels and tea stalls?
why child labour is not taken seriously? Why people are hiding crimes of the one's who doing that crime? Why some people are encouraging child labour?

The mother pressured to have an abortion. Needing love. Living without parents. Needing love. Infertile, living without children. Needing love. Adoption awareness.

Try to see it from a new perspective; all these children...So many parents, desiring children. This is a time to look for the opportunity for love when the situation, as a whole, seems so desperate. Adoption awareness deserves its own month, because it is the answer to three main questions, being, "This is a child

her beauty is that of an angel her love can make any one want to run mad but yet i keep thinking not the thought of her beauty nor the single smile that i wish i could keep away from the memories of last night oh how i wish it could just be washed like the very rain that drops with the cold hands of the night, oh dear if there was an atonement of words i would have seekerd for one to atone for the past event of last night still which is very fresh in my mind like the beautiful love song be

What this summer brought me was joyous cries and not so joyous cries. This summer I found out I had an addition to my family, haven't found out the sex yet. We are drastically hoping for a girl. I found out it was time for me to fly out the nest and be fully grown with little to no help at all. What this summer really brought for me is stress. My family is usually all together and synchronized,but this summer we have had so many arguments and complications. It gets to be stressful and painful

When My daughter was first born I had no clue what I was doing or what the difference in one product could mean for the health of my child. I had a wonderful mother growing up but she never had time to teach me basic things that may seem natural to most people. She was a divorced single mother who worked around the clock. Johnson and Johnson’s sensitive skin formulas have been a lifesaver over the years for my two children. I had no idea how many allergies and sensitivities I would soon pas
