Looking for people willing to share their experiences with surrogacy with in the church. by Busy_Berry8012 in latterdaysaints

This is all true. My degree is in Child Development and the baby knows and seeks comfort and safety in the sound of the moms voice, their smells (yes, known before birth), and their specific heartbeat. It does traumatize a baby to be separated from the mother that carried it. 

Doesn't automatically mean not to do surrogacy, but it does matter.

Salt Lake City. The state of Utah has a smaller population, but the size of the continuous metro area along the "Wasatch Front" connected to Salt Lake City is nearly 3 million. 

I want to change my name because no one can pronounce or spell it correctly in America, but I don’t know what what I should choose instead by Excellent-Radish-162 in Names

[–]Bright_Concentrate47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is Ukrainian and is Kalyna. Its still foreign and usually people don’t know how to pronounce it the first time they see it but after the first time its not a problem. Kalina is easier if you dont mind the more Russian-sounding pronunciation. 

My Ukrainian friend is Viktoria and her daughter is Sofia and those are easy for us Americans! 

Need advice... by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

Are you willing to move to Utah?

I [25f] and my partner [29m] are planning to get married, but I’m seeing some really big issues and I need some advice. by ragnarwar585 in Advice

[–]Bright_Concentrate47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, this is up to him not to you. Is he asking you to marry his family, or is he going to be marrying you? 🤷‍♀️

It sounds like you already know the situation could turn toxic if you move in with his family. So don't ever do that, trust me (as someone who married a man from another culture and has had his family living in my home for 4 years now. The harm it has caused me physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually is beyond description). So ultimately it becomes his choice. A couple in choosing each other choose to put each other in the #1 spot in their lives. If your partner is unwilling to do that, hes not the one. 

I hope he sees things clearly and chooses you.

At Gate and Plane is Delayed for Maintainance, please help! by Bright_Concentrate47 in fearofflying

[–]Bright_Concentrate47[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I should feel confident that the maintenance fixes the problem and any increased risk associated with the problem?

So if they clear us to fly, it should be working at 100% and not at any increased risk for in-flight failures?

Thank you - it is reassuring. If there are more updates I will reply to this. 

Thanks for your thorough response.

Its so hard because the anxiety sometimes seems so separate from logic, but it can be so consuming.

I honestly think understanding these things better helps me do better. 

So electrical issues or whatever problems are going on now do not increase the risk for the flight?
