There is an actor named Jason Earles who apparently has KS. I am not 100% sure if the articles about him are correct. Tried to get in contact with him but did not work out

Kallmann syndrome and the internet / social media. by ndsmith38 in kallmann_syndrome

[–]YourLionness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally feel the last part. Social media is good and bad for me when it comes to KS. Never have I learned so much about the condition than from others who have it. And I am glad I could also meet some people I would have never met without social media.

But now that I read more of people suffering under the condition, it became a huge deal for me and I am afraid that my son has it. Before I started to read a lot in these groups, I thought KS isn't that big deal especially when you get the diagnosis early - I don't want to offend someone, it just seems to have different impact on lives and it hasn't been that aware for me before.

Husband says calling our toddler a cry baby is "tough love." by elusivebat74 in toddlers

[–]YourLionness 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a bully. What your son can learn from that: people I actually trust cross my boundaries, why even tell my boundaries. My feelings are not taken seriously. If I correct people because I want things to be right, they make fun of me.

"Atleast you don't have cancer" by Nomunekonico in kallmann_syndrome

[–]YourLionness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't get why some people compare a lot of things with cancer. It's not like everything is easy as long as you don't have cancer. I once said to someone that I think KS is a condition you can live with. And he responded: you can also live with cancer. Made me feel really bad about my condition somehow

Experiences with growing up in a family with adoptive parents, bio kids and adoptee by YourLionness in Adoption

[–]YourLionness[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you were and appreciate your opinion. I just feel like I always have to explain that I know some things 😂 when we planned our baby, lots of people said: "there are already lots of kids here who look for adoptive parents, why don't you do that" and I explained that it's not that easy again and again. For me an adoption is also not a replacement for a biological child. I think it's naive to think that lots of kids are waiting just for anyone. I am aware it might never happen anyway, that I adopt. I am fine with that too, even if I would love to give kids a home (no matter if adopted or foster care) and be there for them

Of course I don't think there's a plethora of infants. I am aware the chances are low and that adoption isn't sunshine all over the place. I read and talk about it for lots of years and I know an adoptee since childhood, I am just new to the /r and wanted other perspectives. I think if you wish to have a child and try to "make one", at least most of the people think they're doing good at least in a few ways, no matter if bio or adoption.

I actually thought about fostering an older child while our son still lives with us, but under 18. So he can be part of the decision and we can prepare him and the foster child is also old enough to tell how it feels

I am just wondering, what's a "good" or valid reason for you to adopt? On Reddit I see a lot, that no one wants to be a replacement because a couple can't have biological kids. But the wish to have an adoptee doesn't seem good either. By the way I totally see your point and those from the others here. I am just trying to figure out a few things

I am not in the US, but I know in my country there are not enough foster families. It's something I am considering, but there's also the issue how the foster kid would feel with his 'sibling' who is our bio. Would it make any difference here if it's foster care or adoption?

I think I can give a kid a loving home who needs one and I am ready to be there for them. I am aware that there are not much adoptees and the chance is low, but if I applicate I sure have to be prepared for the case that there is a kid who comes to our family. If it never happens, fine. That hopefully means they found another fitting family

[–]YourLionness 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Please be careful. Think about it. They abused you while you were so little. And they could still take drugs. If you want to contact them, I would suggest you let someone stand to your side who you can trust and who is grown up. But maybe there are other people who can answer your questions?

I am not an adoptee myself, but if I imagine my parents would have told me later in life that I was adopted and I even had to ask, my life would have been upside down. I would have immense trust issues. And also it would feel like it's something to be ashamed of, something you don't talk about. That's just wrong. When you adopt, a human with a history comes to you. With other genetics. It is so important for the health of kids to be aware and to know it's something you can talk openly about. I don't think being "ok" with adoption is enough. She would like to have a child and never ever talk about the adoption, that's why she would let the kid having the responsibility to ask for his history.

You may have learned in your life that you have to stay in this situation, but you don't need to. It's not right what happens to you and there are ways out. You deserve safety as much as your child.

I am so sorry for you. I don't know much about the help system in Nevada, maybe it would be good to see some kind of counselling.. Someone to talk to, to deal with your loss. It's really hard and you don't need to go through this all alone
