Maternity Home

Question: What is a maternity home, can my parents force me to live there? im 16 and pregnant, can my father force me to live in a maternity home and tell them I can't see my baby's father or family? What is a maternity home? What do you do there?

Answer: Um, I can answer the question about your bf. You father, bless is soul for trying to help you, could press statutory rape charges against your bf. That might keep him from seeing you for a while.

Answer: What country is that in? Your doctor should be able to recommend the best place. Here is a list of the hospitals in Selangor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hos… I live in Canada, so I can't help with how good they are, I can only recommend talking with your new neighbors and asking their opinions.

Question: What about wearing maternity jeans home from the hospital? I was wondering if anyone wore jeans home from the hospital after giving birth? Were you uncomfortable? They will be maternity jeans of course.

Answer: Don't expect to take prepregnancy clothing and walk out of the hospital wearing it! :-) I wore my maternity clothes home, and for several weeks thereafter as they were more comfortable (especially after my c-section). Remeber: it took you 9 months to gain the weight, it just may take 9 months to lose it, too! Good Luck!

Answer: i went to christian homes when i was 16 & under the circumstances i met some wonderful people & we actually had a good time. it's all in how you handle the situation. good luck to you, i know it's hard but you are making a very mature decision.

Question: Where can I apply for grants to open a new maternity home in California? I already own a two story 4 bedroom home.

Answer: If you are planning a for-profit business, it is hard to find grants to start a business -- even if you are a woman and you are a minority. You have better chances of getting low cost loans from the SBA instead of grants. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born. Nonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture. Even if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business. Even SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html… "The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments." Here is a listing of federal grants for small businesses. See if there is any available for individuals for starting a business -- THERE'S NONE. http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALO… Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program Grants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs For private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.

Question: Adoptees, do you think that you have a right to your mother's records from her maternity home stay? That would include the Social Worker notes, the medical records, the records of her confinement and other notes from medical and professional staff. What are your reasons?

Answer: This gets a little more complicated. As far as medical records, no, those are private. Any professional counseling notes should also be private. Social worker notes, on the other hand, can be kept in the child's file as well as the mother's. Anything that's in the child's file should be accessible by the child (as an adult), even if it contains the opinion of Aunt Flo from Timbuktu. Adopting parents are sometimes given background information taken from social worker notes in the child's file. There's no reason the child shouldn't be provided that information as well. ETA: I should point out that for those of us born during the BSE, our file at the maternity home contains the only access to our life for the first few months. Many of us were not adopted at birth. We were placed in foster care until the agency was sure we were healthy. I spent 5 1/2 months in a private foster home under the direct supervision of the agency. I don't even know the name of my own pediatrician without access to those files. I do know the name of my foster parents, but many adoptees do not know their own whereabouts during that time. My aparents tell me I had measles when I was a few days old. They didn't know me then, of course. I really have no way of knowing if that is even true without access to those records. Many BSE adoptees do have a good reason to want access to maternity home records. Of course, we don't need to know how many times our mother was assigned bathroom duty during her stay. We don't need our mother's file. But we should have access to our own file. ETA again: I don't believe the only information an adoptee should be granted is the OBC. The maternity home/adoption agency was my legal guardian for 1 year, 6 months, and 16 days. They are a private corporation, but they are also a state licensed social services agency. They had full legal custody of me from three days after my birth until the adoption was final. They did not place me in my future adoptive home for nearly six months. They kept records that include social worker notes, medical records, foster care placement, developmental information, and my name for the first six months of my life. I feel as if I have a right to see their records pertaining to me. [Sorry about the wall of text, but I don't really care if my mother said something to my social worker that she doesn't want me to know. With privacy comes responsibility. I still should have access to my own records maintained by my legal, state licensed guardians who sold me for cash.]

Question: i need to find a maternity home for pregnant teenagers without adoption options.? I'm only 15 years old and I'm pregnant, but when my mom finds out I'm going to get kicked out of my home.I need somewhere to go and live. can you help me find a place to go?

Answer: Take it slowly, you may think your parents are gonna freak. But you are now pregnant and and she may be considerate. Now that you are pregnant though you are legally emancipated. So that means that you need to go to your local DHHR(department of health and human resources) and ask them for help. They can give you a medical card so that you can go to the doctor and help you with finding a proper home if your mom does get upset and make you leave. They will also help with things like food stamps. But you need to find a part time job or make the daddy get a job and help you with getting ready for this child. Don't quit school though, that is the last thing that you want to do. Alot of jobs that you will be able to work later require a high school education. Remember you can do this and more than likely you mom will be upset for a while but your are her child and you do need to talk to the fathers family. They need to help you to. Maybe you could talk to your school nurse or your counselor and ask them to help you tell your mom.Good Luck and remember to see a doctor as soon as possible.

Question: Where can i find a maternity home in Georgia for homeless young new moms?

Answer: I'd recommend asking a woman's shelter. Their number is easy to fine, and they can likely head you in the right direction. Just look up any hotline that helps abused women, and go from there.

Question: Can I work from home while getting paid maternity leave? The money is not enough!? I am now getting SMP but the money is simply not enough for my family so I am thinking to do some 'extra' work during something at home. Will this stop my maternity pay? Thank you, Nina

Answer: It will stop your maternity pay. If you are ready to go back to work, then go back to work. Maybe you could do something which will mean that when you do go back to work you will be in a better position to earn more? Practice something? Learn from websites? Or you could, for instance, sell the baby clothes which your little one has grown out of on ebay.

Question: Is it possible to be an LVN and to find work elsewhere than a nursing home? Id love to work in maternity.? I want to become an LVN (California) and think I would like to work in Maternity. Im aware that alot of LVN jobs are in LTC and nursing homes, but feel I would do better in another area of nursing, like maternity..ideas? Advice?

Answer: I currently work as a STNA, and I have done my fair share of talking with the nursing staff at my facility. Your better bet would be to become a RN instead. It is double the time and ends with a degree instead of a certificate. But the pay is much better. And according to the nurses I have spoken with, many hospitals are cutting down on the amount of LPN's they hire because for every LPN, there has to be an RN above him/her. That is my plan, to become a RN.

Question: Should pregnant teens be sent to a maternity home? Has anyone been here: http://www.harborhouse.org

Answer: No, not if they are like the houses of shame, adoption mill, baby farms of the Baby Scoop Era. Some still are that way (cough, cough, Gladney). They claim that they help teens explore their options, but a teen mother has a chance in hell of ever leaving one of those places with her baby in her arms. They are just places where the parents of pregnant teens who don't have the guts to face their responsibility can dump their " little problem" That said. There are some teens who are in abusive non-supportive family situations who need a safe place to stay. A ray of hope for them is that there are some former houses of shame associated with churches that have FINALLY figured out that the most effective way to prevent abortion is to stop beating young mothers-to-be over the head with the very unattractive option of adoption and to provide a them with a real hope of being able to parent their children. Slowly, ever so slowly, some former houses of shame are being converted into residences that provide REAL support to pregnant teens rather than being indoctrination centers and baby farms. ETA - I checked the link to Harbor House and have mixed feelings. I immediately mistrust any organization that offers unplanned pregnancy help that offers adoption as an "option". Harbor House does. However, the link to the "Adoption Option" says that the option is "offline". A ray of hope that this organization is going out of the adoption business? There's a hope. Also, there is a link to the residence and day-care center for low-income WORKING people that my husband and I support. Maybe this place is turning around. ETA2 - I take it all back - Dug a little deeper - it's a baby farm with brainwashing the good 'ol christian way - from the Harbor House site: "Guiding Principles of Harbor House 3. Single-parenting does not fit God's perfect plan for the family. God designed the blueprint for the family: A male father and female mother living together and united in marriage, raising their children to love and to fear Him (Gen. 2:23,24; Ps. 127:3-5; Eph. 6:1-3; Deut. 6:6-9). 4. Adoption is preferred and in most cases the best choice for a minor birthmother. Adoption is a biblical choice and mirrors God's relationship with his children (Ex. 2:10; Esth. 2:7; Is. 63:16; Jn. 1:12; Rom. 8:15; 2 Cor. 6:18; Eph. 1:5)." Another Watermelon Hill ala 2008. I feel sick for any poor young girl who ends up with these vultures. I wonder how much money they make off selling their babies.
