I hate my adoptive parents?
My wife and I knew that they were pissed off at us now. So we waited until they went asleep and we packed up our stuff and split. When they called us to see what happened to make us leave that way we told them that they owed us and apology for what they did. In other words we made them think that it was all their fault. It really wasn't their fault, it was ours because we planned it that way.
How much does a foster parent make?
Well first off and foremost I am doing this for the right reasons, I already have two children of my own and I am high risk pregnancy so dont want to have anymore biologically, therefore, to complete my family and to help other families and children I have decided to turn to becoming a foster parent, it alone is the best reward to help a child, but I need to know that I am going to be able to do so, as with medical expenses. I know from experience with my own childrent that medical is very expensive and and cannot incur those bills. And I do want to know that there will be that extra amount of income in order to help provide the best life possible for them. To the person who responded I already sound like a bad foster parent, well dont jump to conclusions. To all others for the answers... Thanks! I am doing this for the right reasons to eventually adopt another child or two into a very loving and stable home!

I was born in L.A. in 1949. My birth certificate lists "Montesano Foundation" as the hospital of birth. Huh?
Monte Sano was a Sanitarium Hospital in L.A In 1947 it was still refered to as a Sanitarium, If you search Monte Sano on google it does look like alot of adoptions occured out the the Hospital, there for assuming single mothers did go there. In 1960 the hospital and all its content were destroyed.(this was what an adoptee said on a message board) They may have rebuilt a hospital with that names since your birth. this website is great for anyone looking for a California birth.
