I still remember how it felt prior to being a mom - vividly. <br /><br />So here's my $.02<br /><br />It will happen - and when it does - the pain that you feel now will make so much more sense. So much more. And it's not that you will forget the pain, but rather that the pain will be oh so very worth it. And you would walk over hot coals and through a fire to get to your daughter again, if that's what it took. That's the beauty of the process - you will look into her eyes and know that someday you will be able to say how much you labored for each other...<br /><br />Trust me on this one - <br /><br />For now, it's ok to hurt. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.<br /><br />HugsChristiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09641535226387478870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6195170707282917785.post-7678489149057301252009-05-07T17:39:00.000-07:002009-05-07T17:39:00.000-07:00Keeping up the prayers for you and your little gir...Keeping up the prayers for you and your little girl. My saying last spring was "best case scenario" and we're hoping the BEST CASE SCENARIO for you...which means a referral SOON (like tomorrow ;) and a court date within 2 months and having your little one home in July. yep, a best case scenario is what you need...and well, maybe a margarita, too ;)<br /><br />big hugs---Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14697577898367420802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6195170707282917785.post-68423869876069602462009-05-07T15:44:00.000-07:002009-05-07T15:44:00.000-07:00Continuing to pray very fervently here that you wi...Continuing to pray very fervently here that you will get that call. We are LONG overdue to get many baby girl referrals. I am inspired by your acceptance of the possibility that court closures may come before you get to travel, but I refuse to accept it (for you!LOL!) I just wanna scream for you and I really just wanna call Toni and ask her what is up and its not even any of my business. Sorry, you posted such self control and here I am probably making it worse for you, but I just want you to know that I'm frustrated for you. I cannot wait for the day you can post all about it. I will stop saying "It cannot be much longer" because that has been said enuf. And enuf is enuf. Come on phone!!!

You and your husband seem like such sweet people and I know you will be richly rewarded with a lovely baby girl. Just wanted you to know that even strangers like me are cheering you on and wish you lots of good things!! :)<br /><br />~Kari in NCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6195170707282917785.post-48503532386955703122009-05-07T08:48:00.000-07:002009-05-07T08:48:00.000-07:00Erin, I feel your pain.

You are so wonderful and I can't imagine how hard this has been for you. Since you have waited so patiently I think CHI should do whatever possible to get you through court before the rainy season (smile). Hope you have planned a wonderful gettaway!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06793443841216420275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6195170707282917785.post-56259221735103384702009-05-06T22:05:00.000-07:002009-05-06T22:05:00.000-07:00Erin I am praying so much for you.

I am so sorry that you are having to deal with all this, I know how hard sitting at #1 for months is. <br /><br />I know it is cliche and I really didn't enjoy it when people told me this but I am going to pass on their sage advice. It will happen and when it does it will be the most perfect child for you. One day you will be on the other side and passing out this same advice. <br /><br />It. will. happen. I don't know when but I know it will.<br /><br />(((HUGS))) and prayers as you continue to wait.Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09795516821463286235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6195170707282917785.post-9087398540847382962009-05-06T21:39:00.000-07:002009-05-06T21:39:00.000-07:00Erin, I am SO praying that you will not be waiting...Erin, I am SO praying that you will not be waiting that long.
