Family Ties: Why One Non-Biological Parent Wants to Give Up Adoptionnew

My attorney told me that if I wanted to protect myself and my kids, I should adopt them. I wasn't entirely clear why. Did I need to adopt them because we don't share DNA? If a straight couple conceived a child using a sperm donor, would the man have to adopt the child to be considered its father?

Will WIC For Foodnew

Honestly, I've never thought of myself as someone who would need help feeding my family. Ann-Elise and I are both college graduates. We own our house. We have good credit. We make more money now than we ever have. But none of that changes the fact that we're trying to feed, clothe and house a family of four on less than $60,000 a year -- something that's getting harder and harder to do.
