Laura Ward - Sunday, 7 December Message to all: This message is not intended for any one person, but a general statement to all members of the site. After hearing what you all think in regards to posting photos on the forums, we have modified the rules and ask that everyone familiarize yourself so that the site continues to remain friendly for everyone, including new members. In an effort to be respectful of all members of the site, we ask that members do not post more than ONE photo or video per person in the weekly, monthly and information forums. Your ONE picture should be small in size as well. Any large photos will be deleted. You are welcome to post as many pictures as you would like in the photo books, which were created for the purpose of sharing and viewing photos. You may also post as many blogs as you would like with photos in them. We understand that many members enjoy posting and viewing pictures on the forums, but this is not where they belong. We must keep the pictures on the boards to a minimum so that the written comments can continued to be written and read. Otherwise, the numerous amounts of large pictures squash the messages and they become missed. We ask that this modification be respected, therefore any member that continues to post numerous pictures a day will be deleted from the site. Thank you all for helping us keep the site friendly and welcoming for all members.
Dirk - Friday, 5 December Message to all: In the last 2 years you all posted 1.1 million photos to the site, and that needs a little maintenance. We are currently renaming all photos from the personal photobooks in order to speed up the site. Some, or all your photos may not show while we are working on the photobooks. You don't have to do anything. We hope to have all photos sorted in about 24 hours from now. You can upload new photos to your photobook while the computer is working on your other photos. Thanks for reading.

Laura Ward - Monday, 6 October Message to all This may be interesting to some of you. Seema`s email is seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com
Hi there,
I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.
We’re in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.
If you’re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.
You can contact me on: seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com
babynheaven - Tuesday, 20 May Hi, yeah I feel like that too...I feel that it will never be my time. I see other women getting pregnant or with their belly and I always wonder when will I be like them...oh well hope it happens soon...How are you doing?
sweetlemon53 (LuAnne) - Monday, 19 May I have been very down the last week or so... Stuggling with why it is taking so long for DH and I to concieve (now 16 months). I started my second round of Femera (like Clomid) yesterday. Praying that this month is our month- I am not looking forward to going back to the doctor this time. It seems the only choices left after this are more expensive and painful. Don't get me wrong I know it is worth it. I feel like I need a break but at the same time it makes me feel guilty. I do have a lot of symptoms of PCOS but the Dr has not came out and diagnosed me with it... We shall see he might at my next visit. I am to set up an appt if the meds don't work this month. Best of luck I know what you are doing is hard too!!!! My thoughts and prayers are with you. P.S. My sister is in the Army and I am going to get her to start asking around for surrogant mothers. Adoption just seems like it is going to be too much on us...
sweetlemon53 (LuAnne) - Tuesday, 13 May How is the adoption process going? Wishing you all the luck in the word for a smooth journey!
Angelia - Friday, 9 May I'm in Kansas, so there are some differences on signing up, classes, and how the "system" is run. The adoption.com website (especially the foster care forum) has foster parents from NC that would be more than happy to help you.
Angelia - Monday, 21 April I'm assuming you are considering adopting from foster care? There is a great need for adoptive families of foster children, but please be aware that most children available for adoption in foster care (unless you foster to adopt) are older children, 7yrs+ and the issues they come with require more than love. I've been a foster parent for several years, have had 98 foster children through my home. I have adopted two children from foster care. If you have any questions you are welcome to write me. In addition, you may want to consider joining the www.adoption.com website and specifically check out the foster care forum. They can offer you support and information as you go through this process. Best of luck and truly I'm pleased another couple is willing to consider adoption from foster care!
padow - Monday, 14 April That is soo neat! Congratulations and please keep me posted. I hope that you have him/her before the holidays, too! God Bless You guys!!
cynthetamine - Monday, 14 April my "belated" birthday turned out a lot better! Thank you so much for the comment!!!
sweetlemon53 (LuAnne) - Monday, 14 April I think that it is great you have decided to adopt- I too have looked into it and it is still an option. Please keep me posted and let me know how things go! Here are some websites I looked at http://www.adoptioninfosvcs.com/ and http://www.angeladoptioninc.com/index.html
I think one of them has a place for federal grant $ if you don't have any children...
SweetHope - Sunday, 13 April Thank you so much for your message. Good luck with your adoption process. I'm sure you'll have your baby with you soon.
