Adoption is the legal act of permanently placing a child with a parent or parents other than the birth parents. Whether you are looking to adopt, putting your child up for adoption, parenting an adopted child, or just thinking about it, this is the place to discuss.
My husband and I just got custody of our twin grandchildren, they have been with us for a week. The little girl seems to be adjusting ok but, her brother does nothing but scream, he will not feed himself, he won't talk, I can get him to laugh and giggle occassionally. His maternal grandmother swears there is something wrong with him such as cerebal palsy. I can't help but to think that alot has to do with the neglect they both endured there are more problems concerning them both, which I can get into detail with later. Right now I feel the need to concentrate on figuring out why the screaming is going on. If anyone has any ideas on how to help me help him ,I welcome your input. Thank you and please keep us in your prayers.

I presume by your post that the twins are 13 months old? If this is the case it is really not an issue if he doesn't feed himself or talk, that is still very young and I wouldn't expect much at that age. He is probably just very unsettled and as he is still young, his only way to express how he is feeling is by screaming. I guess the best thing you can do at the moment is to make him feel as secure and loved as possible. If he doesn't seem to be settling down them maybe you should take him to the dr to get him checked. My little girl screamed non-stop for 6 months until we discovered she had food allergies, it could be something as simple as that.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

My ENT sent me for more tests last week...one where they had me lie back in a chair, with blacked out goggles on so I couldn't see while they administered water into my ears one at a time ( first warm, then room-tempurature, then cold) while they video taped my eyes and asked me questions to determine how cognizant I was... This test went HORRIBLY. They were about 20 seconds or so into...
