Help! I'm a pregnant 16 year old who may get deported to Canada! What do I do?
My Dad got arrested and I'm worried I will be deported to Canada. I don't know what to do! I've lived in the US since I was 2.
I have some questions.
1.) What parts of Canada are there where they speak English, and things are more or less like the US?
2.) Will I have to get new credit cards?
3.) Would it be better to stay in the US illegally, or go to Canada?
4.) The father of my baby suggested I move to Japan with him. (He's Japanese). I'm worried that since I don't speak Japanese, that would make me too dependent. Plus I don't know him real well. Am I stereotyping? Should I go to Japan?
5.) Which country has the best public assistance for teenage mother, Canada, Japan, or the US? (Keep in mind the only country I'd be a citizen in is Canada).
6.) What about my 12 year old brother, who was born in the US? Could he go to Canada with us?
Answer
1) Almost all of Canada speaks English, only in parts of Quebec the only language is French.
Canada is very similar to the US, if you go to a big city such as Toronto or Vancouver, it is pretty similar. There are the same stores, Starbucks, we have buses, taxis, etc. We just have colored money.
2) You do not necessarily need to change your credit cards, but you would atleast have to change the address (and at 16 I dont think youre allowed to have your own credit card?)
3) Staying in the US is illegal, and that could result in a criminal record, take the safe choice, go to Canada, it is not that bad. We just like hockey a lot more and are maybe a little less patriotic.
4) Japan is a long way away, and is very different. I have friends who have travelled there and they loved it, but it is different and the language is also very different (it is not like French where the alphabet is the same)
5) If youre a canadian Citizen you will have access to our health system so that means you'll have assistance in Canada for a minimal price (when you go to the hospital they dont ask for your credit card)
6)I think he could come to canada im not sure, you should be asking a border offical, and social services
You should remeber that at 16, you'll need a guardian if your dad is not coming with you
Oh, and we dont live in igloos

My 3 month old daughter has very complicated and somewhat unknown medical problems. Does anyone know...?
Q. ...of a VERY good Neurologist that I can take her to? She has a chromosome disorder that the doctors have never seen before. We don't know what goes along with it so we are having to just watch and wait. We do know that it is the cause for a large hole in her heart that was surgically repaired on Nov. 14th, along with some physical features. Small, low placed ears, wide nasal bridge, underdeveloped jaw and pelvis, larger forehead. About 2 weeks after surgery she had a seizure in the hospital but the doctors blew it off because she didn't do it again in their presence... She had another one in the hospital that the nurse chalked up to an "underdeveloped nervous system" and said wasn't a seizure. Since we brought her home she has started having them more frequently and after 2 stays in the hospital (she was sent home because she didn't "perform"), 2 EEG's, and a fight with the Neurologist, it has been found that they are, indeed seizures. Before the seizures became more frequent, she had started doing a myoclonic jerk. This happens upward of 40 or 50 times in a day some days. She is also having strange "dystonic" movements where her eyes will look in strange directions, her head will turn from side to side constantly, her arms and legs will move. This will sometimes last for 30 min or more at a time where she just can't stop moving. I am having no luck with the doctors here. They aren't looking at the whole picture and are telling me that it's "just myoclonis" or "just dystonic movement" and "we are treating the seizures". Well, since she's been on Keppra, the seizures aren't as violent or frequent, but still happen every couple of days. The myoclonic spells and dystonic spells seem to happen when she is gearing up for a seizure or has just had one. My question is, has anyone seen this in an infant and what was done to help control this? Does anyone know of a GOOD neurologist that I can take her to? I am willing to travel as far as I have to in order to get her the help she needs because the answers just aren't coming from Arkansas.
Answer
I would do some research on the internet and figure out the top 25 children's hospitals in the USA and contact all of them.
I know the Children's hospital in Denver is good. And not terrifically far from you.
The Sick Children's Hospital in Toronto, Canada is a very good research hospital too. Worth contacting.
Maybe the Mayo Clinic? A great hospital in general.
I just can't imagine how concerned you must be. Big hugs.
