Be careful!!!! Realize that everything you say in a private group is NEVER truly private.

They are a great source of support and can ALSO be a source of depression when you read all kinds of negative things in FB groups.

Female Issues

Angelman Family Contributions: Female Issues

Not all angel girls need to get on birth control immediately. Wait a few cycles and see what’s best for her. It’s not about you!
Norma, angel Katarina, age 20, Del +

When our daughter was older, we consulted with a gynecologist about birth control methods. As they say, unless you are with your child 24/7, there is always a risk- as awful as that seems. The method we chose was a low dose birth control pill. Under the directions of the doctor, we always skip the last “placebo” week and begin a new pack of pills. Consequently, our daughter does not bleed and this has improved her life tremendously. This wonderful doctor even came to the hospital when our daughter was having eye surgery under general anesthesia and performed a pelvic exam. An added benefit of birth control pills is reducing her risk of ovarian cancer.

It is never too early to begin financial planning for your child’s future.

Don’t expect our government to provide everything your angel will ever need. Try to be financially wise so you always have a little extra to provide things that government assistance won’t.
