1. We'd love to have you on the list! However, because of a lot of the inappropriate spam, etc. these lists get, it is a restricted list. But, by all means, if you're not a spammer and just a normal mom or mom-to-be, after you send your membership request you will be approved.

2. Description:
We are not a mainstream group but we also do not exclude anyone for their beliefs, parenting style, etc, but please keep in mind this group is for support, discussion, and learning about all your options in parenting. It is a safe haven for us to discuss our parenting and birthing styles, which are often not mainstream. If you want to learn more, have an open mind, be a part of a supportive group of moms and in return feel supported in your parenting then please join us for discussions or to just read along. If you disagree strongly to any of the following practices and have any negative judgements please keep them to yourself or do not join. Many, but not all, of the list members are attatched parents, non or selective vaccinaters, co-sleepers, breastfeeding, birth naturally or at home, do not circumcize, homeschool and the like

Being that we all have varying cultural, religious, and political backgrounds, to keep peace on the list the following are off topics and not allowed: religion bashing (altho you can mention your own religion), political bashing (altho you can mention your affliation), teen promiscuity or abstinence, abortion
