Hi Jamez, I have two adopted daughters who will be 23 in July. Did being

adopted make you consider adoptiny a child yourself? One of my daughters says

she wants to. Thinks she can recreate history I guess! Yes, there is another

flavor ice cream! Rocly Road.MMMMM I mean good quality rocky road. doe it get

any better? LOLOL Marilyn

Marilyn,

I have three children, two daughters- and

Joleen, one son--. No adopted children although

I was sponsoring a Native American baby with my ex

-fiance. We were thinking of adoption, but our

relationship didn't work out. At this point in time, I

can only pray for the children and help out wherever I

can. Nothing to do with diabetes with this post, but

you asked. Sorry if anyone is bothered by this info.

Peace and Grace

Jamez

Hi Jamez, I am assuming this post is yours? In the event you tried to

finalize an adoption of a native american child, I am pretty sure you would have

met

the problem that unless you have documentation that you have at least some in

your blood,they will not let you adopt. I just know that is here in ca.

Hugs, Marilyn

1. Name: Kate

2. Age: 45

3. State you live in: FL

4. Are you married and how long: UNmarried

5. How old were you when you were diagnosed: 40 the first time, now

they are back and forth again over whether or not this is really Lupus

6. When you are in you flare what are your symptoms: PAIN: knees,

back, HANDS... tired constantly, frequent UTIs, hair loss, rashes all

over my body, increase in IBS.

7. If you could give advice to someone with disease what would it

be?? Have to agree with everyone else, stress is the number one

problem. I wouldn't say be stress free, because that's an

impossibility, especially with family... but reduce it as much as

possible... Delagate responsibilities at home, find " ME " time, and

find something to do that makes you feel good, whether it's your job,

volunteering, scapbooking, collecting sea shells, or becoming the

world expert on your favorite soap opera...

8. If you could go anywhere with just you and your dh or so where

would it be: no dh, but would love to just sit out on the

intercoastal and watch dolphins with a special someone.

9. Do you have any pets: not at the time

10. What is your favorite color: the dark purplish blue of irises

Other info: I have 4 kids. The eldest is a marine biologist and is

completing her degrees at San Fran, the next oldest is in Buffalo with

what we are assuming is his family (oh, the posts in the past on THIS

situation!) and my twins (age 10) are home with me in our postage

stamp sized apartment on the beach...
