In this case, they can't recycle because there would still be the lead paint issue. So into the dumpster it goes!

Teens who Choose Adoption More Likely to Succeed--So Why Don't More Teens Choose It? - Blog Entry

Samual with all due respect your husband cannot possibly be an expert in US demographics or the US social system.

I agree with Kara. This is not a diss on teen mothers. Adoption IS a good thing. I realize that many who participate in support groups don't see it as such but may I suggest that not all adoptees and/or birth mothers are in support groups? There are more than plenty of adoptees who are thriving bc of the selfless choice their birth mother made.

Saigalsera-- I have to say that I'm moderately horrified at your comments. I am still sorry for yours & your son's pain. But as an adoptee--I can tell you that this is not many people's experience. My mother--not the one who birthed me--but my real mother that invested herself into my life. . .that woman knows who I am because of the years she spent actually raising me.

Please don't project what you've experienced onto the adoptee experience. While you know many adoptees who had painful lives, I can assure you that I know many who have had wonderful lives where they knew they were loved. I don't believe that genetics alone can solely trump the relational investment of an adoptive mother.

Cable and intenet can be substantially cheaper without phone service. Of course I guess that dependson where you are. . .but my SIL pays $200 per mo for all three but we'll pay $75 for just cable and internet when we move. Same cable. . .same internet service. . .

We don't have a home phone and haven't for years. My husband's job provides his cell phone as part of their business expense and I got mine that way as well--although now it is originally mine. To us, it was just like throwing money away--no need for a land line at all. We are moving to a less metropolitan area so maybe it won't be like that when we move. . .but all the same, we're probably going to skip the phone thing again. ;-)

Okay girls your priorities and thinking on this are all backwards. The more important question is what will they do with Rebecca's character 'Alex' on Ugly Betty? LOL

Ladies--it's nice to see good dialogue here. However, I have to ask that we take this to the forums. You can talk about this blog here in the Muslim forum. http://forums.families.com/muslim-families,f341

I'll also have to ask that we stop posting long diatribes here. This is really just to comment on the blog but I do hope that some of you ladies will join us in the forums.
