The reason some autistic children are so small is because they have what is called "leaky gut syndrome". You can google it and see why, it is a form of malabsorbtion.a thorn in the pewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975456892778482598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469051312285079006.post-74469935751547556032011-04-04T12:23:57.051-05:002011-04-04T12:23:57.051-05:00do you think having your children on a special die...do you think having your children on a special diet helps? I ask because my 9 yr old niece is severely autistic and I often wonder if it would be helpful for her. She is a crazy picky eater and sometimes I wonder how my brother and his wife get anything into her.. she just refuses to sit down and eat for more than a couple of minutes and then she is off running and refuses another bite (she is very tiny).Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01038639159416547700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469051312285079006.post-10069301434880520992011-03-26T01:45:04.248-05:002011-03-26T01:45:04.248-05:00honey, email me if you decide to try Premium Beaut...honey, email me if you decide to try Premium Beautiful corset.<br />other than IVF or IUI, u might want to consider this.<br /><br />PB corset has built-in far infrared rays which balances our female hormones, regulates menstrual cycle, reduces multiple cysts in the ovary which may be the reason of infertility, and most importantly it has helped many couples to conceived within a month or two of wearing it :)<br />Yes it is a corset, and i know some people are so skeptical abt it. try first.<br /><br />you can visit this<br />http://bangalorebeautytalk.blogspot.com/2011/03/trying-to-conceive-with-premium.html<br /><br />there's no harm trying. we never know. goodluck to you dear!Bangalore Beauty Talkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03638772808573402447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469051312285079006.post-10620770467033768892011-03-26T01:07:46.677-05:002011-03-26T01:07:46.677-05:00I like your site.

We have had one placement in that time for about a week. We are very particular about what age we will take and that is probably why we don't get called often.. we will only take age five and under as our four kids 17, 15, 12 & 7 are totally for doing this but made it very clear they do not want us to foster or adopt a child their own ages and I understand that. I can't have more children (serious health reasons) and I ache with everything in me to have more kids.. so we went down this road and it is not easy and no grantees that you'll even end up being able to adopt.. but at this point in my life.. I've finally given it to God.. is it hard? VERY.. I have friends who are literally pregnant ALL THE TIME and having their 5th & 6th babies and that will never be me... but I have to let it go or I will go crazy and I found myself being so caught up in it that I wasn't even realizing the gift I had in my children and how blessed I am. So, each day I offer it up to God and move forward..maybe God is telling me that this will be it and I need to let go.. so I just give it to him and tell him "thy will be done" and I also ask him to take this longing for more away from me, yes, it would be amazing if we can adopt.. but I just can't live by the phone waiting anymore.. it has caused me to be soooo depressed... one day at a time and constant prayer... one thing I know.. God does have a plan for me and I need to listen and be obedient to his will. I pray that you will have total peace as well.. it is not easy and believe me.. your not alone.. I will offer this up in my prayers for you and ask you to do the same for me.. blessings!!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01038639159416547700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469051312285079006.post-57921440345181386322011-01-18T09:00:39.827-05:002011-01-18T09:00:39.827-05:00I think you are awesome. You are one of the strong...I think you are awesome. You are one of the strongest blog/facebook people I know :-)<br />I truly believe you will add to your family. I only gave a few years of trying to conceive before we adopted last year. I still ponder what our own biological children would have looked like, and when strangers tell us how much our kiddos resemble us.. it makes that feeling go away.<br />In a few years we will probably be adopting again. The classes are tedious and boring, and I do say a LOT of foster/adopt families are not the 'upper crust', because those people can afford to adopt overseas. So, if you can stand to do all of the training with them, console yourself that you won't have to associate yourself with them again.<br />We never joined the county 'foster/adopt association', but are friends with the president. It was a choice we made to separate ourselves from the 'machine' of county foster politics.<br />I was only 27 and suffered through about 4 years of fertility meds before I said I could not go through any more to my body and pretty much called it a day on the biological issue. I am inspired that there are women and families out there stronger than I was. I am truly blessed to have gotten to know you!Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14133487457180060005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469051312285079006.post-59213020288251969322010-11-13T03:11:14.564-05:002010-11-13T03:11:14.564-05:00Hahha :) interesting point there...though I am not...Hahha :) interesting point there...though I am not sure if people on FB are so emotionally evolved...Spiritual Sherpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439481955655004095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469051312285079006.post-78229627055203701622010-11-07T21:30:40.844-05:002010-11-07T21:30:40.844-05:00I think the difference with me is that the people ...I think the difference with me is that the people I am on Facebook with are blog friends who have been infertile or experienced miscarriage.

That totally surprises me. Although I guess I shouldn't be surprised that so many people don't get what it's like to deal with infertility. And you don't even know when you've been hidden so what harm does it do.<br /><br />I only hid one pregnant woman as far as I can remember and that was because she did a LOT of complaining. And I wouldn't mind at all if I found out someone hid me. <br /><br />Good luck with the HCG this cycle and I hope your side pain has gone away :)Kareyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322075168200033307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469051312285079006.post-16463581418907422002010-11-07T15:07:06.921-05:002010-11-07T15:07:06.921-05:00I'm not scolding girl whatever works...
