I heard of a place that really helps dads out with this kind of stuff but i cant remember the place, does anyone know of a place in southern cali. My friends ex wont let him see his kid but 1 or 1day in a half a week, if that. She lives in the ghetto with 9 people in a one bedroom. But he is scared if he reports her they will take the baby away, and he wants him at least 3 in a half days out of the week . does anyone know what he can do??? and what rights she has due to her being illegal? plz help. oh and they are not married…..thx

As an adoptee – I know how profoundly the loss of mother affects one, throughout many stages of life. I wouldn’t wish this on ANYONE. As a child I was so lonely for her, but I kept my hurt hidden and many people probably would have used me as an example of a kid who was happy being adopted.
As a mother I can’t imagine how I would go through life without my baby. I am the only one who can really intuit exactly what he needs. My body provides him with just the right nutrients for his growing body. I am the one who can calm him just by holding him in my arms.
I’ve learned how inexpensive babies really can be – I reasearched the benefits of breastfeeding, co-sleeping and cloth diapering and found them to be the best parenting choices I could make. It also happens they are very inexpensive. Perhaps the best things in life really are free.
Do mothers underestimate how utterly important they are to their babies? Why don’t they understand that STUFF is no substitute for themselves?
