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.

Hello All,
My siblings and myself are all adopted. Recently, my 37 year old brother was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. He's already Stage 3. While he's been having symptoms for years, the doctors have been mis-diagnosing him. All the while, asking him for his family medical records - to potentially pinpoint areas of interest easer.
The State of Maine refuses to release his birth parents medical records. My brother does not want these records so that he can meet his birth parents. He does not even care what their names are, etc. He just wants the medical part of them. My family does not have enough money to pay for a lawyer to sort this out. Anyone have any suggestions or experience with this? Any insight would be helpful.
Thanks so much.

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...
I'm so sorry about your brother and his illness.
Blessings,
Jan
