So, Frances called me this morning and said that Robin was arrested last night. She said that she was informed that Robin was brought into the jail in the wee hours of the morning for driving without a license and for possession of drugs. I called the city jail and they confirmed that she is there for "drug abuse". We informed the lawyer. I'm not sure what will happen from here. Lik...1 Recommendation1 Comment -

Baby girl with broken wings
She walks alone and no one sees
It’s always easier to look away
Such big dreams..
Such different ways…
Sitting in silence with so much to say.
Where do you fit in when no one is like you at all?
Walking in slow motion,
Dancing alone in an empty room,
Pictures and words constantly moving,
The music, the melody, perfectly in tune.
The realization that she’s... -

I woke up late to get a doctors appointment, i phoned and managed to get one in the afternoon.

friendship after age 40//general update
Friday, November 20, 2009 |
People complain about losing the friendship thing, the older they get, the fewer there seem to be, both because of death and because of work and family (which is actually another form of work sometimes). They also forget how to make new friends for some reason. "friendship at 40: relearn what seems obvious when you are 5: Be patient, pay attention, stay open, and give.

Friday, November 20, 2009 |
the Khasi are a matrilineal culture, in which family life centers around the mother's house and both inheritance and clan membership are passed on through daughters. Among the Maasai, the researchers found a male preference for competition that was comparable to that of University of Pittsburgh undergrads. By contrast, in the Khasi group, the pattern reversed itself—it was women who pre...1 Recommendation -

Work has been really busy, but very productive. This is my busy season, what we call "fire season." November into February. The month of December, I will probably get a fire a day. I will be out on the road a lot. I typically get more fires those months than the whole rest of the year combined. I did receive a little bit of a break the last few weeks ...3 Comments -

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.
