Hopefully, we will be the ones holding the baby at the end. You are right that it is hard to keep the faith while you're in the middle of it.

And it sucks for M&M.<br /><br />It's hard to have faith that all will work out as it should, when you *know* the best place for her to be is with you.<br /><br />Sending elbutts, I mean, prayers, your way.GunDivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02965363044411500380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970071813477046910.post-73747824494368409982012-05-11T21:31:10.925-05:002012-05-11T21:31:10.925-05:00Matt, she is allegedly a foster parent in Nevada w...Matt, she is allegedly a foster parent in Nevada which will make the argument tougher since it is a family member. The only thing we have going for us is we are a two parent household with a stay at home parent. That may or may not carry any weight with the court.Daddy Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01386749814126280114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970071813477046910.post-63846058997250962062012-05-11T21:29:10.703-05:002012-05-11T21:29:10.703-05:00DaddyBear, thanks.

I won't attempt to comfort you with platitudes (well-meaning though they are), because I know how little comfort they were to me.<br /><br />Hang in there.<br /><br />Have the Queen give me a shout if she needs an understanding ear. My email address is on my profile. I don't have to imagine her pain; I know it intimately. Even with our court process behind us, there's always the "for now" that lurks at the end of that statement.<br /><br />You have my prayers.Auntie Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05291024186455331856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970071813477046910.post-79390727342077330922012-05-07T11:46:38.912-05:002012-05-07T11:46:38.912-05:00Kymber, thanks for all your thoughts and good wish...Kymber, thanks for all your thoughts and good wishes.
