@aprilgemini - I can understand how you are feeling and hope she has stopped harassing you by now. Otherwise, avoiding them completely is not going to solve the problem. Do you really want to live in fear not knowing when they are going to appear at the door? I am concerned that if you are...

@aprilgemini - Am sorry to hear about your ordeal. You must be going through alot right now. Take comfort that as long as you have been granted the adoption court order... waiting to collect BC then BB is officially yours BUT to be safe, you may want to seek legal advice as to whether if this...

@ Lena - I had 2 dogs during my HSR time. No problem. Invictus is right... they ask me how I plan to manage my 2 dogs and BB. I told them that I will install child gate in BB's room so my dogs will not be allowed inside at all time. And will ensure my dogs are well groomed, healthy and properly...

@ Mrs Chou - thank you so much for sharing the article!! Am glad I didn't have to miss it @ Die - Incredible journey. I truly admired your courage and determination. You will be an awesome mother!! God bless you.

@ Wendy - I totally understand what you are saying. It was during HSR period that I gained a deeper understanding of my hub cos' those questions really forced him to reflect hard. You know - man hardly talk about feelings So, just stay calm and relax for the next round of interview and you will...

@ Bridgette - I can only encourage you that once you've made the decision, just move on bravely. If yours, it's yours. Adoption is a journey of faith. Whenever you feel confused and being pushed to make a decision, it's better you hold back first. Step aside to reconsider. I personally have no...

Pam - You are still so young! I do not think it's time you press the panic button yet. There is still possibility that you will meet your Mr Right, get married and have your own children. Unless you are saying you are totally infertile, then perhaps it makes sense for you to adopt. But it will...

Hi Percy - Am reading with concern as you mentioned you are starting 3 x meals for your 6.5 months BB. I feel it might be too early too much even if just rice cereal / heinz baby food etc. Have you tried to increase BB milk intake instead of introducing more solids? Reasons being BB still young...

Mrs Ha - I haven't check in for a while..... WOW! CONGRATS! Your moment has arrived. Am so happy and thrilled for you Here are my thoughts to your questions: 1. Giving fresh milk to infants might caused diarrhea and it lacks the sufficient nutrition baby needs. But I do hear say of...

@ineedmiracle - It is always sensible not to rush into it. The adoption journey itself has its challenges as well. Thus, it is best you take time to recuperate b4 you take the next plunge. HSR does not require to interview your parents not unless they are caregivers of the child but I am 100%...

@ineedmiracle - If am not wrong, you cannot be 45 years older than your child when you adopt (according to one of mcys requirement). As such, you do have plenty of time to think about it. My advice is to take your time. If 35 comes and you two still have unresolved issues then don't do it. We...

@Mrs Ha - The difference in nationality will be an issue if you decide to adopt. Instead of avoiding it, perhaps you should face it and overcome it. Altho it seems really unwise to travel with young babies BUT I totally agree with Percy that it is doable IF you want the best of both world. I too...

@ Mrs Ha - If you have already done whatever you need to do, just relax by knowing the day will surely come! Cos' very soon you will have no time for yourself when BB is here. Hahaha. I hope you agree with me that many things in life often do not always happen the way we want it to be even with...

Mrs Ha - Am not a big fan of sleeping aircon as well. I got the playpen w bassinet too (from Baby Hyperstore) but the big size one and BB is still sleeping in it till now. And yes, the small cradle is not going to last for long. Do get a baby rocker chair that can you use during the day. I...

You are most welcome! The shopping part is really fun and I guarantee you that you will still end up buying things you don't need. Hahaha. Babies are highly adaptable. They don't know what they are missing so it's really up to our comfort level. I've been to overseas orphanage and condition is...

Mrs Ha - Oh ya...thought I should also prepare you mentally cos' it can be heart breaking if it happens. I have heard of cases that birth mothers changing their mind after birth. I personally had one similar experience with a pregnant woman but she later decided to keep baby (while still...

Hi Mrs Ha - Been reading your progress... you are almost there... keep positive and hang in tight with those butterflies in your stomach! Hahaha. For buying baby stuff, you can always get the list from most baby dept stores. But here is the basic survival list of items which I feel it's good...

Hi Babydust2 - I really don't think the check has any difference whether it is bio or adopted. For our case, we make appt to see our PD by informing them that it is for adoption medical check. After PD has examined our bb phyiscally, he only recommended us to do blood, urine and hearing test. He...

Hey Andrea - don't bother to check on xinmsn for "Get Real!" playback cos' it is unavailable! Not anywhere on the Internet as well. I heard it from a friend but already missed all the repeat telecast. Sigh. Nevertheless, I've wrote in to CNA yesterday to ask if they will repeat telecast or at...

Hi Lyn, am truly happy for you. It is a blessing to have extended family support. Least you fought one battle less. I cannot say for sure if parents nor in-laws will treat adopted grandchild with no difference from bio ones unless there isn't any for comparison... only time will tell. We cannot...
