Women adopts, then returns child

From MSN and the Today Show online

She adopted a child - and then gave him up
Anita Tedaldi adopted a little boy, loved him, and raised him for 18 months before reaching a heartbreaking conclusion: They weren't bonding, and another family could give him a better home. "I loved him and I cared deeply for him," she said.

Before I move forward with prescription and medical assistance, I ran across this story today and wanted to share. This young mother of 5 and her husband adopted a baby and then later gave him up. I don't want to just move head first into my views. I would like to share a dialogue about this. Please read the article and feel free to post your comments.

Prescription assistance

Needing your medication and not being able to get it is a killer. Unfortunately, it is a tough reality many Americans must face.

The Partnership for Prescription Assistance may be able to help. This organization will screen your information and match you with the drug company or group in your area offering assistance. You can call toll-free 1-888-4ppa-now (1-888-477-2669) to see if you are eligible.

Independently, you can also call the company that makes your particular drug. There are times when they are able to send you medication at no cost to you. You can also contact your doctor's office and explain your situation. Doctors receive samples of many drugs from pharmaceutical salesmen that they give out on a regular basis.

My main thought here is that it NEVER hurts to just ask. It may be more than difficult to ask for assistance but until you can do it on your own let others help. I was told a long time ago that you can not deny others their blessing. If helping you is what they are called to do, you should not push them away. In turn, when you are called be ready.

I will have more prescription and medical assistance information in my next post. Until then, please read the following material concerning natural health ideas.

The Power of the Word Quit

I found this very interesting. I hope you will too!

"it's ok to Quit....."

Motivational Speaker - Veraunda Jackson


1. Quit arguing with people about the same old foolishness! Respect their position and keep it moving!

2. Quit telling people your secrets when you know they are not going to keep them! And if you keep telling them, then quit getting mad when they tell your secrets!

3. Quit trying to pull people on your journey who don't want to travel with you. Either they believe in you and value you...or they don't!

4. Quit complaining about things you can't and won't change!

5. Quit gossiping about other people! Minding our own business should be a full time job!

6. Quit blaming each other for things that in the big picture aren't going to matter three weeks from now! Talk solutions...and then implement them!

7. Quit eating things you know are not good for you! If you can't quit...eat smaller portions!

8. Quit buying things when we know we can't afford them! If you don't have self control, then quit going to the stores! Quit charging things, especially when you don't NEED them!

9. Quit staying in unhealthy relationships! It is not okay for people to verbally or physically abuse you! So quit lying to yourself! It is not okay to stay in the marriage for the children! Ask them and they will tell you that they really would prefer to see you happy and that the misery you and your spouse/partner are living with is affecting them!

10. Quit letting family members rope you into the drama! -Start telling them you don't want to hear it! Quit spreading the drama! Quit calling other relatives and telling them about your cousin or aunt! Go back to #5 minding your own business should be enough to keep you busy!

11. Quit trying to change people! IT DOESN'T WORK! Quit cussing people out when you know that they are just being the miserable and jealous people that they are!

12. Quit the job you hate! Start pursuing your passion. Find the job that fuels your passion BEFORE you quit!

13.. Quit volunteering for things that you aren't getting any personal fulfillment from anymore! Quit volunteering for things and then failing to follow through with your commitment!

14. Quit listening to the naysayers! Quit watching the depressing news if you are going to live in the doom and gloom of it all!

15. Quit making excuses about why you are where you are or why you can't do what you want to do!

16. Quit waiting on others to give you the answers...and start finding the answers for yourself! If what you are doing isn't working for you...then quit it!

17. Quit settling and start making your dreams a reality!- Quit being afraid and START LIVING YOUR LIFE! CREATE THE LIFE YOU WANT! If you want something different than what you have had in the past...you must quit doing what you have done before and DO something different! JUST QUIT IT ...... and START DOING something to create the experience you want!

When you need a friend....

Sometimes when we need a friend we can't find one. Over the last year, I have dealt with many departments, state agencies and hospitals all in attempt to take care of myself and my family. In the process, I have found a few links and addresses that may help.

I would like to cover over the next few posts: medical and prescription assistance, childcare, food assistance, job and career help, health care awareness and immigration assistance.

Yes, I have had to talk to quite a few people. I hope my posts help.

Have a great Sunday night and tomorrow morning let's tackle what I know about medical and prescription assistance.
