Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Diaries: Bleeding All Over My Underwear

My 15-year-old daughter occasionally takes one of my bras and sometimes underwear. But, during the last month or so, she has upped the ante. Perhaps because it really upsets me, she has decided to push my buttons. First, she took the only new bra I had purchased for myself in years. Oh, she thought it was hers. Probably because all of her bras have her name written inside to prevent her from taking mine, but this one did not, confusing I am sure. Next, I found a pair of my underwear, blood stained along the inner legs and rear. Um, I had a hysterectomy 14 years ago, and only one person living in our home currently has a period, her. She actually tried to argue with me, denying that she had worn them. Then, I found my grandmamma undies.

Family (c) Lynda BernhardtJordan … its meaning is "down-flowing" - Think Baby Names

The baby name Jordan is of Hebrew origin. The baby name can be used as either a boy baby name or girl baby name. The Jordan River is a major river in Palestine mentioned in the Bible. The baby name is also likely to have become more popular thanks for basketball player, Michael Jordan.

The baby name Jordan has only been absent from the Top 1000 charts four times since 1880. Despite the longevity of the baby name’s popularity, it did not break into the Top 100 until 1982. The baby name Jordan peaked at #26 in 1997 and then moved down to #48 in 2008. The baby name was also a #3 twin baby name (with the baby name Jaden) in 2008. See Popular Baby Names.

Traumatized Adopted Child (c) JulieC

I (unfortunately) had a flashback last night, so I thought I would write out what it felt like so foster and adoptive parents of traumatized children can have a better understanding of what their children are going through when they have one. I have been dealing with flashbacks for years, so I cycled through the process pretty quickly. What I am describing over a period of an hour used to take me days to cycle through.

I have been very sick with a sinus infection and bronchitis. I cannot sleep if I cannot breathe through my nose. It is very triggering for me to breathe through my mouth.

Out of sheer desperation, I set up my pillows so I was lying on my back and sitting almost straight up and down. I hoped this would clear my sinuses. Instead, it triggered a flashback.

Gull Lake Conference

Adoption is an integral part of my life that is never far from my thoughts. I write about adoption daily and seven of my 10 children are adopted. Frequently, questions arise from curious strangers about my family, because there are so many of us. Instead of seeing their questions as an intrusion I usually grab these opportunities to talk about foster care and adoption. So many children in the world need forever families and of course, I am always on the look out for blog material. Even though I was vacationing with my family, I seized a few opportunities to interview people about adoption, their personal experiences, and opinions. Our vacation was at a family camp that brings in awesome speakers for the adult guest. While the adults are enjoying interactive learning with the speakers, the children are off with their counselors swimming, bungee jumping, climbing rock walls, or zipping through the air in a harness.

Dear Adoption Maharishi: What Should You Say When an Adoption Falls Through?

Dear Adoption Maharishi,

My friends planned on adopting a newborn baby. They met the expecting mother and worked out all of the arrangements for an open adoption. After the baby was born, the mother decided to parent the baby. My friends are devastated. What should I say to my friends? How do you offer support when an adoption falls through?
