My son was given up for adoption. I haven't signed any papers. I just recently found out he was alive because the birth mother told me he was dead. He is about 1 1/2. Can I do anything to get him back? In England once someone is adopted, they're adopted. There's no going back. I can imagine it's the same in some (all?) US states. But what bothers me more is this: what's motivating you? Yes, what happened is terrible and it must hurt badly. But unless you've reason to believe he's being neglected or abused by his adoptive parents why change the situation?...

It's way too early for you to have symptoms, and way to early for a pregnancy test to give you an accurate result. You need to wait until your period is due, and take a test. That's also roughly around the time symptoms of pregnancy (like morning sickness) could start to appear.

If you're actually being serious, then get a baby names book. There are tons of names in those. What about ''Andrew''? I don't especially like it but I can't think of any terrible nicknames.

I'd tell whoever ran them (the adult) I was pulling her out, and if she turned up not to let her take part. I'd let her wear make up at home, simply because I think make up at 12 isn't a problem. My mother took me to get professional make up consultations at 12 so I'd know how to do it properly and tastefully. ...

If a baby isnt born yet, does the father have to pay support to the ex-girlfriend while she is pregnant? We are in Pa. No. But it might be nice (and in the baby's interests) if you contributed something, even if you just buy some clothes, blankets, or a car seat etc rather than handing over cash. Babies consume a lot of money BEFORE they're born, as well as after. It's unfair mom should have to cough up for all that, just because she's carrying the child (which is incredibly hard work btw!).

How Do You Get Your Mom To Quit Smoking? (Any Suggestions) You can't. I tried for years. A smoker, like any addict, has to WANT to quit in order to succeed. Unfortunately you can't make them want to quit or give them the willpower to do so. The best you (or anyone) can do is be supportive of their efforts, and not nag. Nagging just adds to their stress and makes them want to smoke even more.

I'm afraid I may be showing early signs of pregnancy in the first week after having sex. I just began taking my first pack of birth control pills 3 days after having unprotected sex. Will the pills stop the development of the pregnancy, if any? It's highly unlikely you'd have any pregnancy symptoms. Implantation bleeding (when it occurs) usually appears 10 days after, so pregnancy symptoms in the first 7 days are just, negligible. In answer to your other question, birth control will not prevent implantation or development of the embryo once conception has occurred. Only the morning after pill will do this (up to 72 hours...

My fiance focuses on my weight and wants me to prove my dedication to him by loosing wieght before the wedding. he also told me he doesnt want me to turn out like my mom. thats really messed up right? That's really messed up! If he wants you to lose weight because it's endangering your health, that's one thing... though he should still broach the issue with tact and care. But saying he wants you to lose it as a sign of your dedication to him is a MAJOR red flag. It's controlling, manipulative and plain nasty.
