#Child Care Assistance

[customlivingcare]

Caring for a child with disabilities presents unique challenges for families, especially when trying to balance caregiving with other family responsibilities. Many parents feel overwhelmed, struggling to meet the needs of their child while maintaining their own work and personal lives. Programs like the Georgia pediatric program in Atlanta, Georgia offer much-needed relief.

I swear, Republicans will look you straight in the face and tell you that something that falls squarely in the definition of corruption is not corruption.

This is not friendship. It's how you buy loyalty and influence.

For just one second - ONE SECOND - stop thinking about this person as someone on your team and think about him as someone with ENORMOUS political and legal power.

I cannot believe we're still having this discussion as some sort of debate. There is no ground to stand on anymore. None.

Tbf I've been a ref before, I would 100% let a nine year old ref an adult game so long as he could keep relative pace with the action. One of the first things they tell you when you are being taught to ref a soccer game is that as a ref, you might make the wrong call. But that field is under your authority, so whether it's the wrong call or not, you have to follow through and the players you're refereeing for WILL honor it. They do not have a choice.

Does wonders for self-confidence and having a sense of responsibility tbh. Highly recommended activity for kids, especially those with an interest in sports but no real desire to be that competitive.

Maintaining proper grooming and hygiene is a fundamental aspect of caring for medically fragile children, particularly those receiving pediatric homecare in Atlanta, Georgia. These children often face unique health challenges, making daily tasks like bathing, oral care, and hair grooming more difficult to manage. Ensuring their comfort, dignity, and health is a priority for caregivers and families.

Caring for ventilator-dependent children at home requires a blend of expertise, compassion, and diligence. For families, finding the right support is crucial to ensure the well-being of their loved ones. Home healthcare in Yeadon, Pennsylvania, plays a vital role in offering comprehensive care that prioritizes safety and comfort.

If 100 couples seek surrogacy services in Thailand, they will likely spend 100 million baht here.” - Dr. Sura Wisedsak

Well if commercial surrogacy can pump money into the nations economy who gives a fuck about women and the babies that would be born through this? Apparently not Doctor Wisedsak.

The idea of legalizing surrogacy services for foreign couples, including LGBTQ partners, promises rich benefits for Thailand’s medical industry – but has also triggered grave concerns about human trafficking risks.

“I am not against attracting the flow of foreign currency. But I would urge caution and also demand assurances that it [surrogacy for foreigners] will not leave Thailand labeled as a human-trafficking country,” said Prof. Dr. Kamthorn Pruksananonda, a lecturer in Obstetrics & Gynecology at Chulalongkorn University’s Faculty of Medicine.

Prof. Dr. Kamthorn Pruksananonda

The medical lecturer pointed out that the concern about the sale and exploitation of children born from surrogacy arrangements were so prominent that they often feature in reports to the United Nations General Assembly.

“Such arrangements may be connected to child pornography,” he said, highlighting one aspect of the dangers associated with surrogacy.

Kamthorn said Thai authorities teamed up with United States’ Homeland Security Investigations to crack down on an illegal multinational surrogacy gang in Thailand several months ago. Foreign security agencies see Thailand as a base for human traffickers exploiting surrogacy services, he added.

“Lax legal enforcement means illegal surrogacy services are still able to operate here,” he said.

Efforts to protect kids

In 2015, Thailand passed a law to protect children born through assisted reproductive technologies, to prevent foreigners from hiring Thai women to serve as surrogate mothers. Prior to the law’s enactment, such surrogacy services were widely available in Thailand.

“We drafted the Children Born through Assisted Reproductive Technologies Protection Act to plug legal loopholes. With so many foreigners coming to Thailand for surrogacy services, there was a risk of human trafficking,” Kamthorn said.

The medical expert sits on the committee for the protection of children born through assisted reproductive services, and also the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists’ committee on Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility.

During the passage of the new law, a scandal erupted over a Thai surrogate mother who was left struggling with the burden of raising a Down Syndrome baby – named Gammy – after the infant was abandoned by his biological Australian parents. The foreign couple left Thailand with only Gammy’s twin sister after medical tests confirmed she was healthy and did not have Downs.

The scandal deepened after an investigation revealed that the Australian father had been convicted twice of molesting girls. This new finding also raised questions about the ethics of gestational surrogacy.

Under Thailand’s current law, only Thai heterosexual couples married for more than three years can hire a surrogate to have their child. Commercial surrogacy serving foreign clients and LGBTQs is currently banned.

Penalties for illegal surrogacy under the new law are severe.

A surrogate mother faces up to 10 years in jail and a maximum fine of 200,000 baht if she joins an illegal surrogacy service. Those caught selling sperm or eggs are punishable by up to three years in jail and/or a fine of 60,000 baht. And an agent for illegal surrogacy services faces five years in jail and/or a fine of 100,00 baht.

Proposed changes

According to Dr. Sura Wisedsak, director-general of the Department of Health Service Support (DHSS), the scope of the law is set to be expanded so that Thai surrogacy services also cover foreign and LGBTQ couples.

He pointed to the financial benefits of this move.

“If 100 couples seek surrogacy services in Thailand, they will likely spend 100 million baht here.”

Sura said Thai services and expertise in surrogacy are second to none, so would attract plenty of foreigners.

“Our service fees are also cheaper,” he added.

Thailand currently has 115 providers of services related to infertility. Of these, 17 are state hospitals, 31 are private hospitals and 67 are private clinics.

Each year, they provide around 12,000 artificial insemination procedures and around 20,000 in vitro fertilization services. These form part of a growing surrogacy sector serving couples who are unable to conceive naturally. Authorities have so far approved 754 surrogacy applications – accounting for 97.2% of total requests. The success rate of these services is currently 48.53% – up from 46%.

Dr. Olarik Musigavong, a reproductive medicine specialist, is an enthusiastic supporter of legalizing surrogacy services for foreigners, explaining that it will generate income for Thailand and enrich the skills of Thais working in the field.

“The government could also use tax revenue from the expanded surrogacy sector to subsidize assisted reproduction for Thais who need but cannot afford such services,” he said.

Asked about the potential dangers of commercial surrogacy, Olarik said that if proper control measures were in place, human trafficking would not be a risk.

“If we legalize the services, illegal practices will fade. And with a legal process and clear registration, those involved won’t be able to abandon kids either,” he said.

In some countries, the commercial system is so well-established that there are even sperm/egg banks that pay donors, Olarik said.

DHSS deputy director-general Arkom Praditsuwan said to prevent human trafficking, couples seeking surrogacy services may be asked to prove their good financial status.

‘Illegal practices put surrogate moms at risk’

Kamthorn said numerous Thai women who volunteered to serve as surrogate mothers for underground operations have ended up receiving substandard care. They have been crowded together in condo apartments and sometimes medicated to produce more eggs than they should.

“A few months ago, a teenager ended up in an intensive care unit due to the practice of overdosing with medication. She nearly died,” he said, “Agents don’t give a damn. They just try to lower costs to maximize their profits.”

Thai advertisements looking for surrogate moms are easily found on the internet.

They typically offer 500,000 baht plus monthly allowances during the surrogacy period. The monthly pay usually ranges between 10,000 and 20,000 baht.

Underground surrogacy rings usually divide their operations into several parts, each handled by different units, making it difficult for authorities to investigate and prosecute.

The Department of Special Investigation says a recent case involved Chinese customers hiring an underground ring operating in Thailand and neighboring countries.

In Thailand, they used three clinics for prenatal care and child-delivery services. Investigators found the gang had well over 100 million baht in cash flow at the time they were arrested.

Trapped Family in Gaza Appeals for Help to Survive 🕊️🇵🇸🙏

I Samer Abu Ras, am reaching out to you with a heartfelt humanitarian appeal, after the ongoing war in Gaza has cast its dark shadow over my life and the lives of my family. Our lives were once filled with peace and stability before the onset of this catastrophe, but now, we find ourselves living in a situation described as nothing short of tragic.

My wife, Shurooq, our three children, and I are now homeless, without a source of income, and without hope for the future. My family and I have lost our businesses and our home due to the war, and we now have nothing left but the cold streets and troubled hearts.

My children are suffering greatly as a result of these horrific events. They have lost the security and stability they once enjoyed and are now facing new health and psychological challenges that threaten their lives. As a father and husband, I feel powerless in my ability to provide adequate protection and care for them.

My child, who is a year and a half old, is experiencing hardships far beyond his tender age. Since the war broke out, we had to flee our home and seek refuge in a tent in a displacement camp. My child lives in extremely difficult conditions, deprived of safety and stability. The tent does not provide adequate protection from harsh weather, and food and medicine are scarce. My child suffers from malnutrition and illness, lacking basic healthcare. He cannot play or grow in a healthy and suitable environment. My only dream is to see him grow up in a safe place full of opportunities

In the face of difficult circumstances, Samer Abu Ras and his family find themselves facing serious challenges in their daily lives. They reside in a modest tent lacking comfort and security, suffering from a shortage of clean water and food, and encountering difficulties in accessing necessary healthcare. Despite these challenges, they continue to express hope and resilience in confronting adversity, holding onto hope for a better tomorrow and a return to a more stable and secure life.

I appeal to you today, dear friends, to extend to me a helping hand in escaping this hell. Regardless of the size of the donation, every drop of generosity will contribute to alleviating our suffering and rebuilding our lives anew.

We need your help to secure the funds necessary to travel away from these destructive wars and seek a safe and stable environment where we can build a better future for our children

Let us stand together in these difficult times and let hope triumph over despair by providing support and assistance to those in dire need. Let us be part of the solution and build a better future for ourselves and future generations.

Thank you for listening and for the potential generosity of your giving, and for your generous donations that will change the lives of my family for the better.

With sincere gratitude and appreciation

‏Samer Abu Ras and family.

An open letter to the U.S. Congress

It’s time to fund the government—especially WIC!

143 so far! Help us get to 250 signers!

Now that Congress has a Speaker they must reach a comprehensive, bipartisan agreement to fund the Government, which is critical for a number of bipartisan priorities – including child care, nutrition assistance, public health, research and development, and national security. The Biden Administration also recently communicated with Congress about critical funding needs for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), the Student Aid Administration, and the Social Security Administration to prevent harmful impacts on women and children, students, seniors and individuals with disabilities in the coming year, and I expect Congress to address these needs as well. We also need funding for the Disaster Relief Fund to enable FEMA to continue supporting critical response efforts and recovery projects in communities across the country. Thanks.
