If you've bulked up on the protein in your diet without cutting calories in other areas, you may find yourself gaining weight. In a 2012 study, researchers found that people assigned a high-protein diet gained the same amount of fat as people assigned to a low-protein, high-fat diet, when both groups overate.
Adoption: An Overview. Adoption refers to the act by which an adult formally becomes the guardian of a child and incurs the rights and responsibilities of a parent. At the conclusion of the formal process, a legal relationship between child and guardian will have formed.
The adoptive parent is given all the rights and responsibilities that once belonged to the birth parent. Guardian is given legal responsibility for the child and assumes the rights of care, custody, and supervision of the child. Adoption is a permanent, lifelong, legal relationship. When married, either one or both spouses may be named guardian.
