surrogate parent

Read a random definition: independent development

A quick definition of surrogate parent:

A surrogate parent is someone who takes care of a child as if they were their own. This can be a woman who carries a baby for someone else, or someone who becomes a parent to a child who is not biologically theirs. A surrogate parent loves and cares for the child just like a real parent would.

A more thorough explanation:

A surrogate parent is someone who takes on the role of a parent for a child who is not biologically their own or who they did not legally adopt. This can include:

  • A surrogate mother who carries a child for another person or couple and gives birth to the child
  • A foster parent who cares for a child temporarily while they are unable to live with their biological parents
  • A de facto parent who has taken on the role of a parent for a child, even though they are not biologically related or legally adopted

For example, a woman who agrees to carry a child for a couple who cannot conceive on their own would be a surrogate mother. She would carry the child throughout pregnancy and give birth to the child, but would not have any legal or biological relationship to the child once it is born.

Another example would be a foster parent who takes in a child who has been removed from their home due to abuse or neglect. The foster parent would provide a safe and stable home for the child until they can be reunited with their biological parents or placed with an adoptive family.

Overall, a surrogate parent is someone who steps in to provide love, care, and support for a child who needs it, even if they are not biologically related or legally responsible for the child.

It was years ago but it was a lower card fight, dude didn't speak good english and they tried asking him his plan, he was like "punch him" they tried to get more info pushing it again and he said "punch him hard" and pointed at his forehead.... I don't remember the results of the fight but dude had a solid plan.

@babycat: got to keep those legs flexible so you don't pull anything, I need to get back into yoga to release and stretch out tension in my muscles. Stretching is where I fail the most with fitness
