I've had to buy my share of baby's gifts over the years, and just because a present is meant for a little one doesn't make it any easier to find the perfect thing. Which is why I'm crazy about Burt's Bees Baby, a new line of organic apparel and earth-friendly products.

And while 100% organic clothes are usually quite expensive, these pieces are super affordable: a 3-piece newborn set (bodysuit, bib and hat) is $9.99; a baby knit terry coverall is $14; a 7-piece gift basket (which includes clothing, shampoo and lotion) is $39.99.

A few weeks ago I asked on Facebook what questions my friends and followers had about adoption. The number one answer back to me was, "How much does it really cost to adopt?" So I'm going to tell you; from popular international programs to domestic. These aren't exact figures, because every agency/attorney/situation is different, but they are close enough to give you a good idea.

Keep in mind these numbers are before tax credits, employer benefits, or grants. You may have a small heart attack while looking at these, but thousands of regular people (like us) adopt every year. It can be done. There are many programs out there that help with costs.

While it seems like a small fortune, these costs keep things legal, legit, and according to Holt International, include but are not limited to: "costs for personnel, administrative overhead, training, education, legal services and communications, working with government and agency authorities, legal fees, and passport and U.S. visa fees in

16 Early Signs Of Pregnancy

Our son will turn 5 years old in two weeks and he wants a Batman-themed birthday party. We haven't mentioned the recent shootings in Colorado with him at all and we're not sure what to do. We never announced the birthday theme, but we have invited his class to the party. However, we don't know the other families at all or whether they are connected to the tragedy. Should we proceed with the Batman party as if nothing happened? Or should we steer him toward something else and tell him why?

Dr. Elizabeth Berger: Many parents are concerned how to address the tragedy in Aurora, Colorado with their children, even without upcoming birthdays--so let me begin there. There are many serious issues that adults should ponder, and they begin with the question: "How could this have happened?" It is important to recognize that if a young child asks this question, he is really asking, "Am I safe today? Is my family safe today?" Small children can't understand social problems and they need reassurance

I wouldn't call my son a prima donna or a diva per se, but certain aspects of his life that are definitely diva-tastic. Like how his schedule dictates ours, especially when it comes to naps. This afternoon, my husband and I made the risky decision to grocery shop a mere hour before nap time, which meant putting the kid in a warm car. Adhering to his schedule and making sure he didn't nap in the car meant racing through the grocery aisles and then me sitting in the back with him as entertainment instead of sitting beside my husband up front. Then this evening I've been at his beck and call to make sure no monsters are under his bed, and that's after packing his lunch, washing his clothes, bathing him, and doing all the other things that moms do and never get to put on their resume.

Because if he was a celebrity and not a toddler, I'd have "Personal Assistant" as my current job. Here are 8 more ways my toddler is just like a celebrity:

1. Talk to Baby
Your growing baby can hear you, so talking to him or her is a perfect way to begin your relationship with your little one. Talk to your baby about what you're doing, where you're going, what you want to show him or her after you welcome them into the world -- the possibilities are endless. You might think you sound crazy walking around talking to yourself, but the reality is that you're talking to your baby, and your baby can hear you. Once born, he or

Should Milk be Banned from School LunchesA national group of physicians has petitioned the U.S. government to take milk off the menu in school lunches.

Dairy milk has been included in school lunches since the very beginnings of the program, even prior to the 1946 School Lunch Act, in which Congress specified that school lunches must be nutritionally balanced. A battle over whether to include full-fat or low-fat milk was waged beginning in 1974 and into the 1980s, according to the petition (PDF), with a requirement for a dairy milk substitute to be provided based on dietary needs included in 2004.

The latest update (PDF), which goes into effect this month, requires that only nonfat (flavored or unflavored) and low-fat (unflavored only) milk be served with school lunches.

We've all grown up hearing that milk is a perfect food, so why is a national group of physicians arguing against milk for kids?
