Adoption, Fostering & Surrogacy

When did everyone start? I am 36+2 .. too early?

I this see mostly in the US. I feel very uneasy when I see a black child raised in a white household. It wouldn't be an easy childhood for them 💔. But I notice it is mostly black kids that needs adopting. Why is there so much black kids put up for adoption? it is very heartbreaking. I am black living in the UK and…

Can I ask how those of you not together at the birth came to the decision to either have or not have the dad there with you? I’m due my 3rd little one end of June and I’m torn between not feeling wholly comfortable having him there but feeling like a bit of a monster for taking that away from him. This is his second...

Are there any books I can read or is there any advice you can give me on being a better parent?? I am a 23 year old mother of two and lately I’ve been feeling like I’m a bad parent. I feel like I didn’t grow up around attentive adults. I feel like my family never pays attention to their kids, they never give them a ...

28 weeks today with my rsv booked Saturday… has anyone else had it so soon? Or waited longer?

Do I need a signed notary form if i am traveling from US to Hong Kong with the kids but without the dad? He is joining us a few weeks later but I will fly with the kids there first. Has anyone travelled without the other parent and how did it go?

So after a stressful few days I've had another scan and I've got enough follicles for egg collection 🥹 I only have four but I'm so relieved it's not getting cancelled again. Triggering tonight at 9pm and at the clinic Wednesday morning 8am. 🙏🏻🤞🏻❤️

What does everyone think to family labels when you have a baby? I’ve always felt really uneasy with my boyfriends Dad he makes me feel uncomfortable and is quite an obsessive person with everything in general, while I’ve been pregnant he’s been obsessing over babysitting my daughter and going on about it all the tim...

Need some advice and thoughts please. I have a lovely little girl who is 4 years old and starting school this year. I have always thought i was one and done, but recently things have seemed easier and a fog has lifted making me start to consider having a second, however husband is firmly one and done. My littl...

I’m just hearing and reading online so much discrimination towards mixed race people (especially black / white mix) Horrendous, derogatory terms and accounts of people feeling hatred from both sides at worst and not feeling they ‘fit in’ at best. The language used against them in this day and age is despicable and...

When you have multiple children, as they get older is it up to the parents to correctly influence the younger ones or is it up to the oldest child to watch what they do and influence?

Just found out our first frozen transfer has failed. I’m heartbroken. We are waiting for a review appointment I’d love to hear other people’s stories

Does anyone else get comments about their babies skin colour compared to yours and then they say your child looks adopted? I’m as pale as they come and my son’s dad is Bengali, so my boy is evidently going to be darker than me. But some people say that he looks adopted and it’s like… why do you think that’s okay to ...

Just started this yesterday so it is going to take me awhile. It takes up almost the entire table I'm using.

If so whereabouts in the cycle are you? I have just started testing for ovulation, and have a preovulatory scan this Thursday. My daughter turns 2 next week and this is our last embryo to try for a sibling ☺️ scared/nervous but excited at the same time!

I had a fresh transfer on 4th May, and I am struggling with the waiting to test. Im driving myself mad wondering why I'm not feeling anything and I just need some support from people who understand. I'm so nervous and anxious because this was our only embryo.
