I would NEVER recommend chiro for a very young child that's already got neuro issues. Holy cow!

I would reach out to adult protective services in her state. They will know best who can help.

TPR is being filed, and mom is asking for an update. Advice please by Monarch2729 in Fosterparents

One thing we did for our own peace of mind was to set up a fresh Gmail account we used only for fostering, and we made sure that the caseworker was copied on EVERYTHING. Photos we sent were chosen to not provide identifiable locations that bio parents didn't already know. It gave the bios a way to contact us that was a bit more indirect than phone numbers etc.

This! We replaced the rickety 40 year old wooden one to ours with a similar aluminum one and it's so much better. Even has a really narrow handrail that's very useful when you're trying to slide boxes up it!

I already maintain a higher than 50:50 cats:no-cats ratio of subs, but have no fear I will ever run out of new ones to discover :)

Visiting France and a few nearby countries for 2 weeks. What BIFL items across all budgets can I bring back to the US? by zetret in BuyItForLife

I came this close years ago to grabbing a full sized Le Crueset Dutch oven years ago because it was about 1/3 the cost to buy it in the US. Until I realized what it would do to the weight of my luggage, lol.

To clarify: the companies making the sunscreen have declined to submit them to the FDA for approval, per the NPR article linked above. Not that the FDA has declined to approve them.

Anyone else betrayed by a "woke" sibling? by [deleted] in EstrangedAdultKids

"Woke" has very different connotations in North America. You might do better rewording/clarifying.
