WOW. I think you are a very wonderful person. Congradulations on the new addition. Your family sounds wonderful.

My first thought is that your family may be overwhelming at first for her. I think that just doing you normal routine right from the start would be best. Maybe let her pick out supper for the first few nights will help you find out what she likes, then try the foods you normally eat (if different) with here. Let her play with one or two kids at a time so she can get to know them each indiviually. Maybe letting her help with the baby and making her feel as though she is a big help.

I just wish you the best and I will be praying that all goes well.

Let us know how everything goes.

You sound like wonderful people and how lucky for this girl to finally maybe have some stability. My only concern would be why has she moved so much? I mean perhaps she is a very disturbed little girl. Not to say you have to give up on her, but maybe there are some serious issues that cause her to keep moving around. That being said I think going slow and not pressuring her too much will help her fit in. Have some family meals do some fun things but let her adjust on her own time. She may have a hard time warming up especially since she probably doesn’t want to get close with the fear she will be taken away again. Just show her love and she will come around. But it won’t happen overnight and it can take a long long time. Best of luck and thanks for being such caring people.

sorry but as a child coming from a rough home life, 7 siblings is the last thing i would want. just thought youd like that perspective. siblings can be rough especially for a kid whos environment is changing constantly. just my opinion.

I’ve never fostered or adopted but I think it’s wonderful, id give her time to adjust at first, then maybe go on an outing as a family, something fun and little pressure (zoo, amusement park, or even juts out for ice cream) try coming up with family activities at home, like where you all take turns writing your own story and sharing it, im sure after some time she will fit right in, best wishes

this is not where you get test results the only way to find out is to go get tested thats the only way to have peace of mind

If you had unprotected sex yes it is possible to contract HIV……I highly doubt it came from when you were 10.

“However, I did continue to be “curious” from 2001-2003, still didn’t learn my lesson.”

Does this mean you had sex with other people? Because if it was just this once with another boy your age who would be extremely unlikely to have any exposure, I’d say you have nothing to worry about. But if you had sex with other people, especially older ones more likely to have been exposed to HIV-1, your risk goes up.

Everyone gets colds, flu, sinus infections, UTIs, and so forth. Symptoms of early HIV-1 infection (within a few weeks of catching it) are flu-like symptoms and a rash. These then go away. Symptoms of AIDS, which would be the stage you would be at if you have symptoms and were infected ten years ago, include unexplained fevers, night sweats, weight loss, fatigue, and oral yeast infections. A sore throat doesn’t really cut it as a diagnostic symptom.

Go get tested for HIV-1 so you can stop worrying about it.

Oh man, I don’t know why you guys wanna go stickin it where it shouldnt go. But thats my agenda. I guess you already know about HIV and AIDS as much as someone could if you have read up on it so much. You’re right 10 years is the maximum until HIV shows itself in symptoms and turns into AIDS, now if it has been 10 years since you did the 1st thing and say you did catch HIV (i know you said he didnt have it) then you would have full blown AIDS by now. But since 2003 we could go by, almost 7 years. Well, you probably wont have any symptoms. You just have to guess or do a test, which you have done. Wait for the results. It is imposs to tell.
I know once you get full blown AIDS you get a whole bunch of stuff wrong with you, you feel run down, you catch cold sores, you get colds all the time, you catch bugs all the time, you loose weight, basically your imune system slows the hell down until it stops working any more and thats when it’s too late.
If you get your result back and its negative; ever thought about having regular sex with a vagina? because theyre cleaner than some guys ass. Also, much less chance of getting a life threatening disease.

Comment on Why do I get c’s all the times? Do I have a learning disability? by Michael808

I don’t think you have a learning disability…

Your grade could be a result of carelessness due to stress. Just speak to your instructor and request that accommodations be made for testing. If that means giving up some of your time to get a separate desk then so be it. That’s the only way you can be sure if the shared desk is causing the problem.
