I have never ever done something like this before and not sure what to say. My mom helped me set this up so I mean I have never really done something like this before.
As I said in my profile I am 17 and a senior in high school. Next year I want to go to college but not sure where. I think I want to be a teacher and maybe teach art to grade school children.

I sometims think my oldest son Brad is my 'forgotten child.' By that I mean he is perhaps the easiest of the children to take care of. He doesn't need much motivation to do well in school. He isn't a discipline problem. He doesn't get caught up in all the boy/girl drama that can happen with an 11 year old. He's just a good child. My youngest son seldom stops talking, my st...1 Recommendation1 Comment -

Learn to listen to your inner voice. Listen to your heart. It's your connection to God, to the universe, to people, and to yourself.

Adoption Information
Adoption is the legal act of permanently placing a child with a parent or parents other than the birth parents. Adoption results in the severing of the parental responsibilities and rights of the biological parents and the placing of those responsibilities and rights onto the adoptive parents. After the finalization of an adoption, there is little or no legal difference between biological and adopted children.
Different jurisdictions have varying laws on adoption and post-adoption. Some practice confidential or closed adoption, preventing further contact between the adopted person and the biological parents, while others have varying degrees of open adoption, which may allow such contact. However, an underreported fact is that open adoptions are not legally enforceable agreements in many jurisdictions. I.e., an open adoption may be closed at any time for any reason.
See more Adoption Information.
