Raising A Pet Chicken - Blog Entry24 May 2006 02:07 PM Awww, this was so fun to read! I had a pet rooster when I was a kid. His name was Caspian. Chickens definitely can be good pets and they are so funny! Adopting Alone - Blog Entry24 May 2006 08:39 AM I don't know that any route to adoption is "easy". I think it more depends on the child you are hoping to adopt and the type of adoption that you think will work for you. If your friend is comfortable with a toddler or older child, then foster care adoption may be a good option for her. However, anyone who chooses to do foster-to-adopt has to deal with the very real possiblity that the child will be reunited with their birth family and you won't be able to adopt them. There is a huge need for parets for the kids in foster care, though, and it is a great option for some families. If your friend is not certain about foster care adoption, she might also want to consider international adoption. She is still at an age where she would be able to adopt from most countries and there is less of a risk that you will not be able to complete the adoption.

Spanking or Hitting? - Blog Entry03 Apr 2006 07:38 PM While I understand where you are coming from, Misty, I would have to say that all kids hit - those who are spanked and those who are not. Hitting, biting, etc have nothing to do with spanking or not. These are behaviors that kids figure out will work and they do it until it stops working for them, or the consequences are worse (like being in time out., losing a favorite toy, or receiving a spanking). I do agree that spanking should be used in moderation and I am not sure if we will spank our kids or not. I think it is probably best to avoid it as much as possible. However, I don't think it is fair to lump a parent who is in control and spanks her child in a proper, calm manner, with a parent who beats on their child in a fit of rage. |
