do australians welcome immigrants who wish to adopt the culture?
Q. white ones in particular

A. Yes. Definitely. Short question: When visiting your friends, do you change how things are in their home as if it is yours? Eg. rearrange their furniture? Or do you adopt to how they live just for that time? Australia is like a home in a sense. We don't need people trying to change it. --- It doesn't matter whether you're black or white. It's how you act - that's what we look at. Face it, you come here for change. If you don't change yourself, then what's the point? However, saying that, it doesn't mean you cannot be your old self here, but we expect you to include your new self in your new life. People normally start saying us Australians are racist when they are the ones who fail to be like us. We give them plenty of chances to… [cont.]

Is there financial assistance available for couples who wish to adopt a baby from China?
Q. My husband and I have three children, and we would love to adopt a baby from China to round out our family. We live in a great area in a nice house, and have lots of love to give. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so we don't have as much income as we do when I'm working, but I think it's important to be home in these early years. We desperately want to adopt, but $20,000 is a lot of money for a family living off one income. Are there grants or programs out there to help qualified, loving families be able to afford the adoption process? With so many kids out there needing a good home, it seems like such a shame that some money is keeping these kids away from having a family.

A. In order to adopt from China, your specific family (since you all ready have three children) will need to make 60,000 dollars a year. You also need a net worth of 80,000 or more. Also, be prepared to wait about four years right now. Not trying to smash your dreams, just trying to help you out. Not all of the fees associated with the adoption are up front, most are at the tail end when you travel to China to pick the baby up, so with the wait times as they are (in China) you have at least three years from this point on (probably more) to come up with most of the money. As someone mentioned you also get a tax credit, of up to 10,000 dollars after the adoption is finalized, so you can count on getting at least some of the money spent… [cont.]

What do you think: I have two existing adult cats and wish to adopt a kitten?
Q. Basically here is the baskground info: I have two 8 1/2 year female cats. One is pretty independant, the other is pretty attached to me (cuddles every night etc etc) I desperately want to adopt a new male kitten who has been sitting in the pet shop window for at least a month, he looks like a lovely animal. I have called vet's to ask their opinions and they saw as long as they are all introduced slowly they should get alog just fine. But i wanted to see what you guys think. Good idea or Not?? all advice appreciated =D

A. This is not an easy one. A kitten comes with a tremendous amount of energy, and your two are senior citizens. I introduced a 1 year old to an 8 year old, and it was not appreciated by my older cat. And I paid a price for that. So when my older cat then passed away, I got two kittens, and it worked out great. The kittens played off each other, and allowed my then one year old who had gotten a lot older to adjust. With your situation, you are introducing a turbocharged kitten into a senior's home, and it will not be appreciated. There will be the typical hissing and growling, and some resentment since most cats hate changes, especially if they are older. But there is also no reason you cannot have a reasonably content home with… [cont.]
