Think of how touched your friend will be to get a note passed in class that simply says, "Hey, I haven't told you in a while but I do appreciate our friendship." Make sure it's one that you wouldn't mind too much if they revealed since sharing secrets builds trust. If the person tells the secret, you will not have lost much because you did not mind this secret getting out. You will have learned that they cannot be trusted as your best friend. If the person keeps the secret, you can tell another, slightly larger secret. Soon your friend may build a track record of trust by keeping all of your secrets, and you will know that this is a person that you can share your deepest thoughts with. Best friendships require honesty, even more than regular ones do. Secrets which you hold back about your friend may come out at a bad time and can have a serious negative effect on your friend. In a good friendship, your friend will be as honest with you as you are with them, so don't make bold assumptions about the way they might think about you. Most of the time, if you're thinking it's something bad, then you're wrong! If this person is a true friend he or she will love you and be honest with you.

Summary: Tell them that they are a great friend, once you've gotten to know them. Tell the person a secret. Be truthful at all times with matters involving your friend. Avoid feelings of jealousy and suspicion.

Consuming adequate levels of protein is essential for hair health. While the amount of protein you need depends on several factors, including how physically active you are, a good rule of thumb is to eat a minimum of 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, or about 2.8 grams per pound. Sources of protein include: seafood, lean meats, eggs, beans, nuts, milk, cheese, and yogurt. Iron-deficiency anemia can be a cause of unhealthy hair (as well as other health issues), so it is important to ensure your iron levels are adequate. B vitamins and biotin encourage hair and scalp health. Likewise, low stores of Vitamin C can result in poor hair growth. If your levels are low, consider taking a multivitamin with iron. Never take more than the recommended daily dose of a vitamin, as some can be toxic in high quantities. Polyunsaturated fats have a range of benefits for your hair. They help skin and hair retain moisture and stay supple, and can also help reduce dandruff. Omega 6 fatty acids are found in leafy vegetables, seeds, nuts, grains, and vegetable oils (corn, safflower, soybean, cottonseed, sesame, sunflower), while walnuts, flax seeds, mung beans, and fatty fish are packed with Omega 3 fatty acids. While this may not sound like a nutrition change, smoking actually limits the delivery of nutrients to your hair by restricting blood vessels. The result is dull, brittle locks. Your hair will look (and smell) better if you quit. When you're stressed, your body may produce more cortisol (a steroid hormone), which results in increased hair shedding. Learn ways to minimize stress, such as meditation, regular exercise, and adequate sleep. The market is full of products that claim to speed up hair growth. However, there is no scientific way to make your hair grow faster, so think twice about spending a fortune on such items, whether pills, shampoos, or oils. What you can do is to support scalp health and hair growth with proper care, styling, and nutrition, as described in this article. It takes at least three months to notice the benefits of dietary changes you make. Know that you've made good choices for yourself and your hair and that you'll soon reap the rewards.

Summary: Eat enough protein. Check your vitamin levels. Boost your consumption of fatty acids. Stop smoking. Learn to reduce stress. Beware of products that claim to make your hair grow faster. Have patience.

After you have chosen an agency that is right for you and your baby, it is your duty to cooperate with the rules and procedures. Depending on where you are in your pregnancy or if this is an older child, the agency will set up a timeline for the adoption. If this is to be an open adoption, you may be allowed to look over profiles of adoptive families and choose those that match your hopes and expectations for your child. If you are pregnant, follow through with your medical care and doctor's orders. Act in the best interest of your child. You will have to give the agency all the information you have about your partner. Do not lie or withhold information. If you say you don't know who the father is or where the other parent is, the court may act accordingly in granting the adoption. However, if the birth parent comes forward and refutes this, the adoption could potentially be cancelled and you could be held in contempt for lying to the court. The agency will try to get the other birth parent to consent or serve him or her with notice of the adoption hearing. Specifically, if a birth father wants to contest the adoption, he must acknowledge paternity, prove he has (or intended to) have a relationship with the child, and be prepared to provide support. He will have to have his own attorney and your interests will be represented by the agency's attorney. Cooperate and provide any information that is requested. If you are pregnant, you will typically not give consent until the child has been safely delivered. Most states have a waiting period, to give you time to recover from the birth and not be under the influence of pain medication. The waiting period can be as short as 12 hours or up to 15 days. The typical waiting period is 24 to 48 hours. Consent documents will be signed in front of a notary or a judge. Even if you have been working with an agency, you have a right to consult with an independent attorney before you sign the consent forms. Once you sign the consent forms, the decision is considered permanent unless you revoke during the very limited window or can prove your signature was obtained under fraud or duress. Once you sign the consent forms, your participation is complete. Stay in touch with the agency to be aware of the adoption timeline and that it was completed without incident. If the adoption is open, you can receive more detailed information about the procedure and finalization. The agency should have after-care programs, such as counseling to help you recover for the birth and the surrender of the child. If not, consider seeking independent counseling.
Summary: Cooperate with the agency. Give information about the other parent. Give your consent to the adoption. Finalize the adoption.
