    • Close Adoption

      My husband and I have been together 19 years and married 15 years. It turned out we could not have children. In vitro was unsuccessful. I truly feel everything happens for a reason, as my son was brought to me over 7 years ago. He was almost 4 and was removed from his biological parents for abuse and neglect. It has been a very challenging, scary, wonderful, incredible journey. (And we are still in that journey!)

    • Close Diets & Weight Maintenance

      Skinny all my life. Then marriage, age, life changes, medication, sedentary life all caught up with me. A couple lbs here and there and I am now 50+ lbs over weight. I just feel awful and I really need to change.

      Treatments

      Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
      Works great until I miss the chocolate and other non healthy foods.
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      Just started exercising 2 weeks ago.
      Weight Watchers Somewhat Helpful
      It works when I keep track and do it right.
    • Open Parents of Children with ADHD

      My son was 5 years old when he was diagnosed with ADHD. He would run out of the classroom when the teacher wasn't looking and out of the school. He could not sit still for longer than 2 seconds. We have other issues (we adopted him and he is a child of abuse and neglect.) I hate having to put him on medication (Adderall) and up the medication every time there is a problem. I worry about the side affects.

    • Open Family Issues

      Struggling with family issues. Oldest child of divorced parents. Married 16 years. Struggled with marriage problems and infertility. Adopted my son, who is now 12. Dealing with ADHD and major behavior issues. Husband appears to be dealing with depression.

      Treatments

      Family Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      Just switched to a new counselor. The jury is still out. Praying for progress.
    • Open Foster Care

      My husband and I adopted my son after being foster parents for 2 1/2 years. I am looking for support from other parents who understand what we have gone through and look to support others as well.
