Adoption Certification

Question: SAS 70: What are the adoption rates of ASPs getting TYPE II certification? I need to make a business case for certifying our company with a Type II SAS 70 audit. I want to see adoption rates for other ASPs getting certified, as well as the desire for public companies to do business with SAS 70-certified application service providers. Basically, I need to be able to quantify a trend of public companies asking for SAS 70 certification so that I can prove it is a worthwhile thing to do. There is a lot of buzz about this, but not a lot of numbers. I need percentages, statistics, and good sources. Please include references. Many thanks.

Answer: I am not sure but I know the AICPA has a lot of good articles and refernce material on these types of thins. There website is www.aicpa.org, look around your are sure to find the info you need.

Question: Where do i go to find out how to get what i need to start adoption? Please help!!!? My husband and I are wanting to start looking into adoption. I have called a few places, and they told me that i need to get a certification from my state. how do i get a certification, and what all do i need to do to get started? Where would i go to get what i need? Thanks for your help!! We live in Kentucky

Answer: Hi, I just answered your other question on adopting from foster care. I believe the certification is an approved home study. All of our children are adopted from the foster care system. If you have any questions, or need any additional information, please feel free to contact me.

Question: Adoption agencies: are there any good ones in Southern California? My wife and I would love to adopt 4 children (ages 3 to 14). we having difficulty with one agency. we went through all the pre-training certification. And we were put aside by an agency. is there any advice out there?

Answer: Through the Christian radio station we listen to - KWVE FM 107.9, there are 2 agencies that are Christian based and while I have no personal knowledge of them, it it a good place to start; and thank you for helping those that cannot help themselves :}

Question: military records and adoption? I was adopted by a US citizen father when I was an infant when he was serving in the military. I qualify for US citizenship under the child citizenship act of 2000 but neither one of my adoptive parents applied for it. I need to prove eligibility to work in the US so I can apply for RN school and get certification to work as a CNA while attending school. My adoptive mother is refusing to assist. However, my father is assisting me in getting his military records. He does not know if my birth certificate and adoption paperwork is in the file. What are the chances (since I was adopted abroad while he was serving) that my information is in the military record? I have contacted my country of birth and they can't find any of my records (typical of my luck). wow... check out all the answers She 'lost' all of the records. The thing that gets to me is that she knows where they are but is refusing to get them. She gave it to a friend for 'safe keeping' they friendship ended and she's more concered about herself than me. She claims to not remember any information. They are BOTH refusing any type of assistance. I've tried ordering my birth certificate, the NSO office in the Philippines cannot locate it. Im stuck between a rock and a hard place. This is by no means an exaggeration it is fact. Anybody considering a private adoption for their child should seriously consider the adoptive parents mental health. Thank you both... problem's been solved

Answer: Your birth certificate etc will not be in his miltary reccords. Have you tried the state departtment? Your parents would have had to apply for a visa for you to come into the US. Also, when they adopted you, they should have registered the adoptioon with the state department via the US embassy.

Question: Foster adoption in other states? I'm going to be taking a foster class next month for 9 weeks and then after that the home study and interviews, etc.(in VA) Does anyone know if you are certified in one state, will it apply to other states? Or would you have to go through the same thing in another state? Or is there some kind of national certification? Thanks for any input! I'm asking about this is because my husband and I are Asian and we would like a child of Asian or Pacific Islander descent. Social Servies told me they usually don't have Asian kids. One person suggested Hawaii since my husband has some Hawaiian blood. Are they any other states with more Asians?

Answer: No, you are usually okay in other states and that is determined when/if a child is placed because ICPC (Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children) has to approve the placement in the first place. All 50 states are members of the Compact and they will all usually reciprocate. That was true especially before the Adam Walsh Act went in to effect...that made fingerprints mandatory for all adoptive parents and there are still a few states that will not get on board with the fingerprint mandate. That has slowed those states down as far as having children placed from other states who are on board with the f/print mandate. Public agencies will usually even work with prospective adoptive parents who are approved through private agencies. This is probably more than you wanted to know......I think you will be okay. EDIT: In my state, we have placed many, many children in other states with assistance from adoptuskids.org. We go through ICPC to pursue this and we have not required an approved, certified family from another state to go through training in our state nor have we required them to come to our state to have a home study. We do always require a home study from their state and ICPC investigates this to insure that it is legit...after we have done the same. To be an active participant of adoptuskids you must have a home study. EDIT: I just looked at a website and seen some Asian children listed from Connecticut, Rhode Island, Nebraska, Louisiana and Hawaii. I think in the metro areas in various states you will find a higher proportion of various races than you will in smaller, less populated areas. The reasons are clear. Good luck in your search....but try not to limit yourself on a specific ethnicity/race.

Question: Why can't we see the physician's signature? Why can't we see Obama's long form birth certificate (the one signed by the attending physician at the hospital of his birth)? Why aren't more people curious as to why he has spent tens of thousands of dollars to fight these lawsuits that simply want him to produce a birth certificate? A Certification of Live Birth is not a Certificate of Live Birth. All records have been tightly sealed and are highly secretive: his kindergarten records, his Punahou school records, his Occidental College records, his Columbia University records, his Columbia thesis, his Harvard Law School records, his Harvard Law Review articles, his scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, his passport, his medical records, his files from his years as an Illinois state senator, his Illinois State Bar Association records, any baptism records, and his adoption records. bash: A Certification of Live Birth is not a Certificate of Birth. A Certificate of Birth contains the physician's name and the hospital in which he was born. Why so complacent? Okay, so Carol's assertion is that asking to see a document is weak-minded, racist, and xenophobic. Which begs the question, how can I be xenophobic if xenophobia is the irrational fear of foreigners? What a foolish statement. Jazzhat: What's so funny about wanting to see a document? I don't understand. John Gibson: Obviously people with brains would know how to spell "embarrassed" correctly. Llama: How could you NOT be so interested in seeing the document after he has spent tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees to fight all of these lawsuits which could be ended by simply releasing the document? mommanuk: The birth certificate has not been destroyed: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.vie… bunny: A unique situation has arisen.

Answer: You are SO Correct A " Certification of Live Birth " is a document which can be filed by ANYONE alleging that a birth occured. A true " Birth Certificate " is a document which is recorded and filed by a Physician at a Hospital and, as such, identifies the name of the Physician and bears the Physician's signature NEITHER of which were on the " Certification of Live Birth " Obama has spen $ 950,000 in legal fees fighting lawsuits demanding that he furnish a valid Hawaii Birth Certificate. THE PROBLEM IS YOU CAN'T FURNISH WHAT DOES NOT EXIST --- Namely Obama's BIRTH CERTIFICATE FROM HAWAII

Question: With all this talk of birth certificates? Just to get this out of the way: I have my child's OBC because I requested it from CPS prior to his adoption. His biological mother never bothered to fill it out (if she had, she'd have one), CPS had to do it and ask her to sign it for legal requirements. So on to my question. With all the questions and comments about APs falsifying the birth certificates, I decided to pull out my child's birth certificate from adoption and birth. The birth certificate simply says "Birth Certificate" not certification of a live birth or any other terminology. It has his full name (same as his first given name with an added middle name), date of birth, time of birth, city of birth, county of birth, and name of parent, place issued, date issued and state registrar signature. There is no place with my signature and no where that states I gave birth. It simply identifies me as the parent. Is this unique to my state?

Answer: No, my son's just says parent on it too, and also no signature. sarcasm alert I would be mad as a wet hen if I didn't have that birth certificate. After all, I was paper pregnant. I got the ink smudges to prove it. And a paper cut!

Question: Could we end the abortion debate once and for all? I have an idea. Let's say we go ahead and keep abortion legal, but with this rider. Every woman who has an abortion, must be sterilized at the same time, unless it is for rape or incest, or because the baby would be deformed in some way, or her own life at risk (certification required for every case), No one can have an abortion without naming the father. If she cannot name the father, she must have the baby and it automatically goes up for adoption, and she must be sterilized. If the father wishes to take the baby, she must have the child and let him raise it. If he refuses, he must also be sterilized. Since both parties have shown that they want to have sex, but do not want to have children, this seems a fair option for everyone. In this way, we will drastically cut down on the numbers of unwanted pregnancies.

Answer: lol..yea that could work...I was thinkin if a woman is irresponsible enough to have multiple abortions and unsafe sex...she will be an iressponsible mother ne way....all we need is another poor, abused, neglected baby in this world.....

Question: Why is Yahoo! Answers particularly committed to protecting the grandeur and image of Barack Hussein Obama, Jr? Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. a/k/a Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barry Dunham. The questions raised over Obama's eligibility are all very simple: The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, states, "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President." The 'Certification of Live Birth': The Obama campaign posted the COLB image online, reportedly to dispel rumors that his middle name was Mohammad. But several bloggers who analyzed the image said it appeared to have been modified from the official state version, raising questions at to its authenticity. Staff members at FactCheck claim to have examined the original "birth certificate," and found it to be genuine. But that doesn't include an explanation for the "Certification of Live Birth," a different document, nor an explanation for whether they really were looking at the "birth certificate," which the state of Hawaii maintains hasn't been released. Pakistan: Also, [Faith2Action journal columnist, Janet] Porter reports it is likely that Obama traveled to Pakistan in 1981 on a passport other than a U.S. document, raising the question of the status of his citizenship at that point. Could one obtain another nation's passport while being an American citizen? The Indonesian question: At the time Obama moved to Indonesia as a child, only citizens of that country were allowed to attend school there. He was registered there as Barry Soetoro, his citizenship was listed as Indonesian and his religion as Islam. Porter reports there was no dual citizenship with Indonesia at the time.

Answer: The major news media work as the public arm of the Democratic Party. While conservatives are well represented in blogs and websites, the far left party controls most news organizations. For example, Yahoo News mostly reports the AP wire service, which like the major papers and TV networks, is tilted far to the left. The job of journalists today is to tell stories that fit the prevailing liberal worldview. One of the stories currently popular is that the US is an oppressive and racist country, and how Obama overcame the entrenched forces of racism to become President. It will take awhile before the public comprehends what a mistake this has been, but current events can't be ignored. For example, Obama is doling our trillions in Democratic earmarks and for every liberal and socialist program that may buy future votes. The deficit is projected at a trillion dollars a year into the foreseeable future. This will lead to much higher taxes and runaway inflation, as it did under the presidency of our last economic illiterate, Jimmy Carter. If Obama had been born in the US, he would have long since produced the documents to prove it. Since he wasn't, his media friends are part of the big coverup. Cheers, Bruce

Question: How do I change my (birth in Boston, MA) kids' last name in the state of PA? What I meant was, my children haven't been with, or been in contact with, their father, Mr. Forrest, in a very long time- about 12 years; excluding a brief time in 2001, when he visited for one hour per day (and even then, the kids weren't thrilled of his arrival). Through those years, they've only been bothered by the "-Forrest" addition to their last name, and in school, are used to writing just the "Parker" last name. My oldest, Alan, is a 15-year-old freshman in Lewistown Area High School, and proudly plays in their Football, and soon to be, Baseball programs. We've talked on multiple occasions about his last name, as it still appears legally in the school system as "Forrest", and he doesn't want to graduate with the "-Forrest" last name. Also, my 13-year-old daughter thinks that the "-Forrest" is annoying, and she agrees with my son on the graduation issue. I can relate to my children, as I also have been through last name changes, be it my mother remarrying, or an adoption, I have changed my last name two times, and understand that "unfamiliar" feeling that comes with the change. As I said earlier, they barely knew their father, so having his last name is quite "unfamiliar" to them as far as living with that as a reminder to what they had to go through when he was around. The way my kids feel, coupled with what I've been through, can only push me further in asking how, and what, I should do to get that "-Forrest" taken out of their legal names, while retaining the "Parker" last name, as well as what you could do to help me, and them, out. So, what we would like to accomplish in court is, basically, just the removal of the "-Forrest" last name, so that the schools may print their names as just "Parker", and if you could also change their birth certification, so that it appears with only the "Parker" last name, we would be extremely grateful to have the burden of "father"'s last name lifted. Even though, we have not seen nor unknown where he lives from. Mr. Forrest hadn't been contacted us via letters, holidays & birthdays cards, phone calls nor packages to them from him showing his return address on it as to show us where he lives from in time his mail went out. My kids had never received a child support; And, they had no sights to Mr. Forrest for many years. I am 100% fully custody to kids living with me. I filed a divorce against Mr. Forrest in 2000 and finalize in 2001. I filed restraining order against him three times over the kids because of child abuses by him in 1997-1999 before my divorce was filled. With Restraining order for 3 years, he hadn't seen the kids. He barely visited to see kids after 3 years RO is over in 1999- 2000. He had only seen kids once or maybe twice visits for a few minutes to maximum 1 hour per year. My kids wrote their last name as Parker since they were infants but the graduation certificate at the Elementary and Middle schools had their father's last name as they didn't want the last name on their public schools. The school requires to use the legal last name from the kids' birth certifications. Hope anyone out there who can help me how to do solve it for the kids' sakes.

Answer: For a legal name change in the US, you have to file a “petition for name change” and get a “decree” from the court. In Pennsylvania, the websites for the forms and instructions follow: How to Legally Change Your Name in Pennsylvania I want to do this!Legally changing your name in Pennsylvania is a fairly straightforward process and can usually be accomplished in less than three months. As long as you have a valid reason for changing your name, have not committed a serious crime and are not attempting to avoid a debt or legal judgment, your request will likely be granted. The name change process is not difficult and only requires that the petitioner take a few steps to begin the process. Instructions • File a petition with the Court of Common Pleas in the jurisdiction in which you live and pay the filing fee. The petition must include: your name and address, the reason for the name change and any other addresses you have lived at in the past five years. Your spouse and adult children may be listed as party petitioners for the name change if desired. • 2 Provide a fingerprint card. The petition must be submitted along with your fingerprints. Both items are forwarded to the Pennsylvania State Police. Fingerprints must also be included for any party petitioners. The State Police will then determine if you have a criminal record and pass this information on to the Court of Common Pleas within 60 days. • 3 Publish a notice of your intention to change your name in two newspapers in the county in which you live or in nearby counties if there is are no newspapers in your county. • 4 Attend the name change hearing. The hearing will be scheduled any time from one to three months after the petition is filed. Bring copies of the notices that you placed in local newspapers. The petition will not be granted if there are judgments or decrees of record against your current name. The judge will ask if anyone present at the hearing objects to your name change and may take any objections into consideration before making a decision. Minor children of the petitioner will be given the new surname, unless the judge rules otherwise. Tips & Warnings • In some cases, you may be permitted to change your name if you have a criminal record. The petition might be granted if at least two calendar years have passed since the completion of your sentence and you are no longer on parole or probation or if you have been pardoned. You will usually not be permitted to change your name if you have been convicted of murder, rape, voluntary manslaughter, statutory sexual assault, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, arson, aggravated assault, robbery, kidnapping, criminal conspiracy or attempt to commit any of the crimes listed above. • If you are divorcing and want to resume using your original last name, you can do so by filing a written notice with the Office of the Prothonotary in the county in which you filed for divorce. Include the caption and docket number of the divorce proceeding in the notice. • Changing your last name as a result of marriage in Pennsylvania is a simpler process. Your marriage certificate will serve as evidence of your marriage which you can then use to notify the various financial and government institutions of your name change. • A name change will not be granted if the court determines that you wish to change your name to avoid obligations, debts or legal actions or wish to defraud another person.

Question: still think Obama is legit? want $100,000.00? $100,000 Reward for Proof of Obama's "natural born citizen" status. (Born in USA still might not qualify) Silver Stock Report by Jason Hommel, July 28th, 2009 Copies or links to the previously released, Hawaiian "Certification of Live Birth", which is NOT a valid Birth Certificate, does not constitute valid proof to claim the reward. I, Jason Hommel, promise that I will give $100,000 to the first person who can prove to my satisfaction that Barack Obama, acting as president of the United States, is a "natural born" citizen of the USA, which is a qualification to hold the office as indicated in the U.S. Constitution. Please prove that Obama is a "natural born" US citizen, and put to rest the claims in lawsuits, as wnd.com reports, "that include contentions Obama was born in Kenya, wasn't a "natural born" citizen because of his father's Kenyan citizenship, was a dual citizen and that his mother wasn't old enough to transmit citizenship at birth. In addition, his citizenship is clouded by his move as a child to Indonesia and apparent adoption by an Indonesian citizen who married his mother." "California attorney Orly Taitz says that according to Obama's own words, his father was a British subject at Obama's birth and later a citizen of Kenya. Taitz has argued that the admission that Obama's father was Kenyan disqualifies him automatically, since a "natural born" citizen must be, under one definition, born to two parents who are citizens." This is not a partisan offer. If Obama is impeached, it will not put any Republican into the office of the presidency. Democrats have no valid nor logical reason to be upset over this. Joe Biden, Vice President, would be next in line to hold the office, and after him, it would be Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the house, both of whom I find to be highly objectionable to my own political preferences. Please note, I oppose Joe Biden on every political position he is professed to have in the current wikipedia article . I'm opposed to teacher's unions and government monopoly on education, I support drilling for oil in ANWR, I believe global warming is a fraud, I believe restricting so-called "global warming" pollutants will greatly harm the economy, I generally oppose unions who have helped to bankrupt America's auto industry, and I favor the privatization of Social Security. Biden has the opposite view on all points. While my offer might be construed to be a support for Joe Biden who would be next in line to be the president, I wanted to be clear that it is not. The reason I feel this issue is important to all Americans, and is a requirement of the Constitution, is that quite simply, a foreigner is not as likely to hold U.S. interests as important as foreign interests . Given that I feel that Barack Obama's only "change" is acting like George Bush on steroids with even bigger bank bail outs for the rich, and rushing headlong to steal many important God-given rights from Americans, I feel, as an "ambassador of Christ" (2 Cor 5:20), an obligation to encourage the American people, the media, and Congress to investigate this issue, and impeach Obama as quickly as possible, if he is not a "natural born citizen" of the USA. In case some people wish to start reading some of the excellent reporting on this issue: WND's complete archive of news reports on the issue http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.vie… or wnd.com I'm terribly frightened that our current Federal government under Obama will pass legislation that will restrict the God-given right to bear arms, remove the right to medical care, remove the right to grow our own food, remove the right to preach from the Bible against sexual perversions as per the new Hate crimes bill, etc. While Congress is investigating Obama's birth, they might also want to investigate the Federal Reserve, which might be a foreign owned corporation, one such foreign interest, that is taking away the rights and property of Americans through usury (interest) on fraudulently issued paper money. Obama might argue, privately, that since the U.S. Constitution was suspended in a time of Emergency during the Civil War, at which time, the President began ruling by issuing executive orders, that the Constitution is no longer applicable. However, how can "the President" issue executive orders, if he is not qualified to be the president? I really am not a negative person. I'm optimistic that this might be the most important use of $100,000 that I've ever offered. And I would like to end on a positive note. The good things I can say about Mr. Obama is that he is clearly the "gun salesman of the decade" as well as the "gold and silver bullion salesman of the decade", and that I believe more Americans ought to own more of both. And if it turns out that Obama was born in the USA, and my reward helps to keep Joe Biden out of office, and end the controversy, or even highlight the issues of freedom

Answer: Interestingly enough, his birth certificate looks exactly like my niece and 2 nephews who were born in Hawaii.....I.Are they fake citizens too? It looks exactly like my 2 sons' certificate, which were "real" enough to get them passports. Are they fake too? Give up, grow up and find some other conspiracy theory to tout.

Question: How to deal with a manipulative ex-girlfriend / mother of my child? I fell madly in love with this girl after high-school and we dated for about 8 months before I found out she was pregnant and realized she didn't feel the same about me. She's extremely manipulative and selfish; the type that needs attention and drama in her life or she gets bored. We split up several times while "together" when I caught her in blatant lies (often about my family or friends) or when she would accuse me of being unfaithful or uncaring (I'm a homebody so cheating wasn't even an option and I did everything for her). I'm a romantic and wanted to marry so we could raise the child the right way but she didn't want the same thing (thankfully). That being the case, I suggested adoption as I am currently working on an undergraduate degree in education and she can't keep a job and would rely heavily on her parents to raise the child. She disagreed and kept our child. Her parents are very supportive and are basically raising him (though they do everything for her and ask absolutely nothing in return). She still can't keep a job (though just recently stuck through a certification to be a nurses aid, so I'm hopeful) and lives with her parents. Our child is 1.5 years old and I'm a year away from completion of my degree. I'm paying the required child support of a student and have given my ex cash on a few occasions to help out (a mistake I have since learned from as she doesn't show any appreciation for it, forgets it by the next day and claims I'm of no help so any money I give her in the future will be sent through the state from now on). I try to stop by whenever I can to see my son (which is at least every weekend) but I'm often forced to play games with her (won't answer her phone at the time we agreed I would call, says she's going out, tells me to call back later, etc.) My parents are extremely angry with her for things she did while we were dating (many of her lies to me were about them when she only agreed to meet them once) but they're also heartbroken that they're grandparents and rarely get to see their grandson. Even if they were able to see him more often, they're worried she might hurt him and claim it happened under my parents' supervision (or something equally dishonest) So my questions are as follows: Does anyone have any advice on how I can cut through her nonsense and see my child on my terms, especially after graduation when I will live closer and have more time and be able to provide more? How about my parents? They were wonderful parents to me and the thought that they're too worried about her complete lack of integrity to see their grandson is infuriating (though I can't blame them). Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you. I have had a DNA test and he is for sure mine. I'll look further into my and my parents rights according to the state; after reading the responses thus far I'm beginning to think that getting them involved may end up being necessary. I've tried to talk with her about this but she is rarely reasonable and simply leaves if I don't agree to everything she demands.

Answer: she sounds crazy i think your best option wud b to take her to court so then and document everything!!! your parents have grandparents rites also good luck with her if i were u i would take the child away from her but make it legal!

Question: I'm 16 and pregnant and don't know what to do.? I'm sixteen and pretty sure I'm Pregnant with twins. I'm getting ready to graduate, I have my CNA and Phelbotomy certification. Very well educated. I did mess up by having sex. My boyfriend left me when he found out I was pregnant, now he came back and is telling me to have an abortion or give them up for adoption. :( I really don't want either of those. What do you guys think would be best? I'm really scared, and he keeps leaving me. I don't know what to do.

Answer: Hello there, Whether you have your boyfriend with you or not you will be a great mum. Despite your age, mothering will come naturally to you and you will find help financially if you seek it until you manage to start work. There are many individuals and organizations who help women in similar situations to yours. Take courage and just look forward to meeting that wonderful life that is forming within you. There is nothing more beautiful in the whole world than being pregnant :) Although you may find it difficult to see it that way now, when you hold the baby in your arms and look into its innocent eyes you will understand. All the best for you and your baby!

Question: What is necessary to start a home child care service? I am going to be a first time mommy this September, and I am frantic about having my child watched at someone elses home, however at this time my husband and I cannot afford for me to not work at all. The pay scaling works that he will make double what he is now... in 3 years (I could stop working in about...1-2 years). So I have some time to occupie. I worked in a nursury a few years ago with a church during sunday service, with the babies and toddlers too young for sunday school. I usually had 2-3 todlers and 2 babies at once for 3 hours. I am great with kids and have always been able to bond with them quickly, and I am very confident in my abilities to care for 1-2 children along with my own at my home. A little more about my self and situation. We live in a smaller city next to a larger city with a Boeing factory that is working 24-7. I would be willing to do evening or day care depending on the need. We curently have a familyroom that we are in the process of refinishing, that I could turn into a baby/nursury room for the children that is right next to the kitchen for snacks etc. We have two cats that can be maintained completely away from the children, I have a very clean/neat/disinfected home where I use environmentaly safe cleaning detergents and products and we have also completed/passed a home study for adoption (not sure if thats necessary for home child care center). What I need to know more about is how do I get started. I wouldnt start until after the first of the year, when my child is atleast 2 months old. I have the general idea of setting up the room, toys, nap areas where to get these items gently used etc. I know where and how to get child CPR classes and certification. I can advertise at the factory as well as online. What I am not sure about is do I need to be licenced? If so where do I do that, what classes might be necessary? Or is it something I can set up in my home, and advertise my qualifications, the environment etc. I want to be appealing to mothers and fathers of all kinds especially ones like my self, who have a hard time with the idea of someone else watching their child. I know a lot of mothers that would love a super clean home and person watching their child. I am not sure what other things I need to consider while reparing, and I am not 100% sure this is something that I am doing, but I am definatly confident in my abilities to do so, it all depends on finding other parents with child care needs. Definatly I hear you there.

Answer: I think if you are serious about doing this you should look at the link below. It has a packet that will help you get started. If you want parents to trust you and be at the point that they will leave their kids with you .. you want to do this by the book as much as possible. A parent doesn't want someone to watch their child that only does things half @$$. You know what I mean.

In 2007, Obama told Tim Russert that his records were "not kept." And there's less on the web every day. In time, the entire Obama body of knowledge will consist of 3 documents -- "Dreams From My Father" -- "The Audacity of Hope" -- and the latest -- "Change We Can Believe In" -- all written by Barack Hussein Obama or his "ghost-writers." Just an accident? I don't think so.

Answer: Good question. Transparency? My a$$. Never have we had a public figure (especially a president) with so much unvetted. Course, if you ask these questions, you're immediately labeled a racist. Or whatever the insult du jour is.

Question: How do we solve this problem with the dog breeder? My husband and I bought a puppy from a breeder in July. We had to sign a contract that we will have him neutered by November. We had to give him up for adoption before getting him neutered because he was too young to get it done plus he wasn't getting along with the other puppy we already have which we love a lot. On the contract, it say to have him neutered by November then mail her the neuter certification or she will take legal actions by taking the puppy away or end up in court with us paying for all the court fee. We gave the breeder a call regarding what was going on, she said the contract was suppose to follow the puppy which we did not know. We didn't tell the new owner about the contract yet they say they may plan on breeding the puppy. However, on the contract, it does NOT say what we are suppose to do at all if we decide to sell the puppy. November is getting close, we don't know what to do.

Answer: Does the contract say it has to follow the puppy? Does it say anything about if you do not keep ownership of the puppy? You are only obligated to do what the contract says. Know matter what the breeder says you are only bounded by what the actual contract states. if the contract was supposed to follow the puppy the contract would of been entered between you and new owner. A new contract with new owner would of had to of been drawn up and signed. So your in the clear and no you do not have to pay the court cost she will because she will lose her case. Just make sure the contract doesn't state anything about resale of the puppy procedures. Whether people think it's right or wrong on here what you did the law is the law and that is the answer you asked not our opinion

Question: Does Obama have the birthright to be President? Article 2, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States, *specifically* states, "No person except a natural born citizen of the United States, at the time of adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President... In order to be a "natural born citizen," you must be born in the United States or, if you are born abroad, you can inherit citizenship status from your parents. If he or she was born abroad, then that's a problem for Barack Hussein Obama because his father was not a citizen of the United States and his mother had not lived in the United States the required amount of time after attaining the age of majority when Obama was born she could not pass her citizenship on to Obama. If Barack Hussein Obama was not born in the United States, he is not a natural born citizen... Barack Hussein Obama has actively refused to show his actual birth certificate to the people who elected him. Under Hawaiian law, only Obama can legally release the document... Obama has multiple teams of lawyers helping him shield the document from the prying eyes of the American people... Instead of producing an actual birth certificate, Obama produced another document a Certification of Live Birth and said, in effect, Here's his Birth Certificate! Now shut up...

Answer: So far this has not been proven. It would be very simple if they just pulled it out of the records in Hawaii and showed everyone the copy, but no, they are still playing this dance around the issue crap, and being evasive. Everything about this jerk is a crime in the making.

Question: Which first with which middle name?? I asked this about a month ago and got some great answers, but thought I would ask again and see if I get some answers from people who did not see it last time. THANKS for your help! We are closer to our adoption of our daughter!!! We are almost done with all of the paperwork and certifications, then we will be able to finally adopt our daughter. We have chosen a few first and middle names. When I have listed them on here, some people didn't like the way they were combined. So, I figured I'd list the firsts and middles and ask for combos. Please don't suggest other names....these are the only ones we will choose from. The middle names are family names. If you don't like any of them.....PLEASE don't be rude. Simply say "none of them" to get your points...or don't answer. Firsts: Rellah (rel-uh) Sora Akira (uh-keer-uh) Salem Middles: Marie Helene (hu-leen) Masen (like Mason) Kaine Thanks!!! = )

Question: Can I foster children from another state? I have been researching non stop for the last few months. Adoption is something I have always wanted and I have decided that fostering to adopt is my best option. I'm not rich, I'm stable and I don't feel that I need to spend thousands of dollars to adopt a child when I can use a system that is practically free and has multiple benefits. I realize how strong I will have to be to foster/adopt. It is not easy. I know that these children are not perfect and that there will be children who will never be available for me to adopt as my own. With that being said, try not to judge me by my age, but by my life experiences (I do have many working for me), my financial stability, my college education (currently finishing up a bachelor's in Humanities), and by my maturity and desire to love and care for a child that I have the power to help! I will be 19 in July and I want to begin the proccess as soon as it is possible. I am physically able to have a child of my own but I personally would like to be married before I share a child with someone else. It is a commitment to eachother and a huge commitment to the child. However, I believe that being loved by a single young mother far surpasses any life in constant foster care. Now, leave out the negative and discouraging words! You all know what I believe. You don't have to agree but please respect it. My question is, can I foster a child/ren through dfps in another state as a Texas resident? My reason for asking this is because I am young and in Texas the minimum age requirement to be a foster parent is 21. I know that there a few other states that accept people as young as 18. I'm not saying I EXPECT to have a child placed in my care while I am 18, 19, or even 20, but the soonest I could get a home study and send in an application is what I'm looking for. I have many certifications already as I'm a nanny, but I think there are required courses for every state's requirements. I'd like to have time to complete those as well. Would this work? Would Texas allow it although I don't meet TEXAS foster parent requirements? Could I still foster to adopt in this situation? Any guidance is appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this! Yes, I am almost finished with my 4 year degree. It is possible as I recieved several college credits in high school and I have taken full-time classes in summer school as well as during the regular school year. After summer school this year I will have a little over 2 semesters left. It may seem like I'm rushing through it but I just don't feel like I need a break yet. I do plan to attend grad school. It is possible to do with a child/foster child.

Answer: Most states the minimum requirement to do foster care or foster to adopt is 21 yrs. I think most of the 18, 19, 20 yrs old stories refer to someone who is taking care of a younger sibling. You have to submit bank records, taxes from the last 2 yrs, stable rental or buying history, medical check, background check etc.. As for fostering from another state I dont think you can do that because of visitation rights. I do know that you can do foster from other counties in your area though.
