The Pediatrician's Role in Adoption Mardie Caldwell COAP Daniel and Megan felt drawn to the little dark-haired child they had seen in the orphanage half way around the world, but they felt they had more questions than answers. "Where do we start?" Megan asked as we spoke on the phone. The adoption agency needed an answer and they felt frozen in their fear. After receiving guidance and answers from other adoptive parents who had the same questions as Daniel and Megan, they soon brought home their little daughter. Megan shared later how the advice to seek a pediatrician early in the process helped them learn what to expect in their adoption and to have a realistic view of the challenges they might...

"One of the greatest...

When our son Kyle, was born my wife and I felt we were naturals at this parenting thing. Then our daughter Kara came into our lives and taught us how little we actually knew.

Children (particularly those 0-28 days old i.e. neonates) respond to drugs in a very different way to adults. Typically, doses in children are calculated by weight and occasionally by body surface area but the dose should never exceed the maximum adult dose. This, however, is only a guide as for some drugs children require a higher dose per kilogram than adults because of their higher metabolic rates. In addition, working out dosage by weight should not be applied to an overweight child as it could result in a much higher dose being administered than is actually necessary, safe or desirable. In this instance, the dose has to be calculated using the ideal weight and not actual weight. To say...

Child abuse is a major problem in our society and it assuredly contributes to other social problems such as crime. Children are the most vulnerable members of our society because they are absolutely dependent on adults for their well-being. Yet many adults, whether parents, other family members, teachers, neighbors, etc., betray that trust. Child abuse takes many forms: physical, psychological, and spiritual. Another form of child abuse is neglect, which involves failing to care for the child adequately--failing to provide adequate food, shelter, water, medical care, or for other physical needs of the child. Because it is easier to identify, most laws tend to deal with physical child abuse...

Others may feel that there are far too many unloved children in the world and that they would be adding to this problem by ignoring the children already...

A "fully open" adoption is one in which the birth mother has ongoing visits with the child after the child has been adopted and is being raised by their adoptive family. In the past fifteen years or so, fully open adoptions have become more common as a result of proponents of fully open adoptions pushing the idea on birth parents and adoptive parents. Some people believe that having the open relationship benefits the children. Some adoptive parents-to-be are scared by the idea of a fully open adoption, and there are a number of birth mothers who have fears about ongoing contact, as well. There are no studies that prove that ongoing contact between birth parents and a child that has been adopted...

What is Giardia? Giardia is microscopic parasites that form cysts. These cysts cling to the surface of the infected dog, or they can float free in the mucous lining and pass from the dog when he eliminates (poops). Once passed, the cysts can survive for several months outside the animal if sufficient moisture is present. How could my puppy come in contact with these cysts? If your new puppy shared a kennel with another dog that was infected with Giardia, chances are he ingested the cysts by licking the coat of the infected dog, the floor or surrounding area where the infected dog was kept, or he might have actually ingested the feces that contained the Giardia cysts. Once ingested, the cysts break...

One of the factors in determining the status of women in a society is the number of mothers who have had their babies adopted-out -- or harvested from them as eggs. In America, motherhood is not protected and moms and babies are being exploited. While very few Swedish mothers or Australian mothers have lost babies to adoption in recent decades, a comparatively high percentage of American mothers and babies are still being separated at or soon after birth. Young fertile women are being solicited for their eggs and for their bodies, to produce or "incubate" babies for "surrogacy" customers. "Reproductive tourists" travel to third world countries and to the United States to buy newborn human beings...

If there is a difference between these children, then why is there a difference? What should you as a parent be feeding your child? One of the most limiting concepts of modern science is the idea that our mind and body are separate entities. Unfortunately, it's not just scientists who live by this false notion. We all, in a manner, subscribe to this myth.? For instance, when you observe your child facing trouble in concentrating on his/her studies, behaving badly or struggling to read, does the thought ever cross your mind that...

Divorce, being a failure or cessation of the couple's commitment towards one another in their married and family responsibilities, has an adverse effect on the child's psyche when they come to know of the fact that they are no longer continuing to be a single unit.
