Corinne O'Brien replied to DavidsMom's discussion 'Help after DNC'

I don't know if this will help you or not but here is my story. I have never been pregnant, no one knows why, I just have never been able to conceive. Adoption has been a part of my husband and my family back to the orphan train so we have been luck…

Corinne O'Brien replied to Cathy Donahue's discussion 'Swine Flu Vaccine'

Absolutely! If we ever get the vacine. I heard a local pharmacist talk about it yesterday and the ones that are suffering the most with this that she has seen are kids. Please be responsible and take care of the health of not only your children but…

Corinne O'Brien replied to Jennifer Raybaud's discussion 'Catholic Schools (High Schools/Colleges)'

I have heard this many times. I live in the diocese of Lincoln, NE and from what I know it depends on the college. I know there is one in Kansas, one in Dallas and of course the one in Stuebenville, OH. Other than those I do not know too much else.…

Corinne O'Brien replied to Lynn Frank's discussion 'Dispensations for sterilzations'

To my knowledge the only approved sterilization is abstinence. What is with everyone? I understand love, passion, all that stuff but what is wrong with abstinence or as I read from someone else, getting creative with your lovemaking. Have we become…

NFP

Honey, Whatever you decide, just make sure you are putting your wife's needs ahead of your own. "Love your wife as Christ loves his Church." I was 35 when I married my husband and we tried to use NFP to get pregnant. I was more than ready. After 4…

I just lost my 2 foster daughters today. One was 7 and the other one that I brought home from the hospital is 2-1/2. Their mother is/has been a meth user but everyone involved thinks she is doing wonderful so they returned them today. We entered fos…

I think it's perfectly normal for you to be dreaming of your 2 little girls. You love them as a Mom and know the situation they have been returned to. Of course you're grieving for yourself and them, especially with the younger one, you're the Mom that they know and trust -- it's a loss for you all that must be grieved. I have no advice except to allow yourself to feel these things and to say a prayer to Mary and their guardian angels whenever they enter your mind...pray for their Mother's sobriety and stability and for all of their physical, emotional and spiritual safety for I imagine that's what you are most likely concerned about. Try and remember that, no matter the outcome, when the girls were with you they experienced true sacrificial love, a most important foundation for all of us. When we had a placement fall through a week before birth I offered up the pain for the baby and Mom and it at least made the sadness have meaning.
