A Time and Place to Be Open.
I am apprehensive about sharing openly about all that is going on, but I am at the point where I have had it and am fed up with everything. So, I think I am going to start a separate blog about the legalities and frustrations of this situation. I am not sure how many read my blog on a day to day basis, but I will make THAT blog private (NOT THIS ONE), which only allows for 100 readers. It is hard to say "well you can read about what is going on, but the rest of you can't." I know those of you who comment regularly, and I would be happy to invite the regular, open readers. And I think I will just have to go with my gut after that, to know who to trust. So for those of you who read and comment regularly, either leave your e-mail addresses or you can e-mail them privately to our email, littleforeverfamily@gmail.com. My biggest worry is having more than a hundred readers and hurting some feelings. Please do not take offense, everyone will understand better at some point, just not right now. Thanks.

I sent you my e-mail. Would love to read about your frustrations. You are one of those amazing examples to me... that proves that we never get more than we can handle because the two of you... are PRO's at handling life... and well.. life is a PRO at running you through the ringer! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to be a part of your private blog. You have every right to be so frustrated over this and it really does help to write about it. I think this private blog will really help you. Thank you for always keeping us updated.

and I finally sent you an invite to my private family blog. Still haven't updated it in a while!
I'd love to keep following your story . . . but at the same time, if you get too many people, I'd definitely give up my spot for friends/family/people going through the same thing . . . but if (and while) you have room, I'd love an invite.

Emily, I read and continue to check your blog several times a day. I haven't commented, but I continually pray for all of you. I would love to continue to follow your inspiring story of love and courage. Your testimony has helped me tremendously in the last months. My email is tammy1719@yahoo.com, I also pray continually for little Gracie.

Praying for you! Hang in there!
Hi Emily,
ReplyDeleteI have left a few comments lately since I found your blog. I have a soft spot in my heart for your Forever Family as I have said before, I have been in your shoes and know everything you may be feeling. We have been and will continue to pray for you in this journey. I would like to be invited so soon I can hear those wonderful stories of cooing and babbling, teething and maybe a diaper rash or 2. I'm sorry things are so frustrating. We are praying.
Thank you

I just recently learned of your blog a few days ago, but, have been praying for you ever since. You are an amazing couple to have been through all of this and still so optimistic and faithful. I would love an invite to your private blog, but, if you don't have room, that is okay. I have a good friend whom is in the process of signing up for a private adoption and would love to be able to share with her the information you have to give. Continuing to pray for you daily. Thanks for keeping us updated.

I have been reading your blog for a VERY long time but I hardly ever leave a comment. I don't know why I just don't. I would love to be invited to your new blog. I am SO very excited for you and your Hubby and Baby "C".

Hello, Emily!
ReplyDeleteWe don't know each other, but I found you through the seriously so blessed blog. My husband and I are going to adopt, and I've really enjoyed reading your blog. I have a few friends who are also struggeling with infertility (or similar issues that make birthing children impossible), but I still really like reading your blog. Thank you for keeping it open- it's really inspiring to me to read what you're going through.
And congratulations on the adoption!! When I saw that you brought your baby home, I teared up a little bit... I'm so happy for you!
Hi Emily,
ReplyDeleteI don't know if your private blog is only for friends and family, but I'd really like to be able to read it. My husband and I are hoping to adopt, and I'd like to know about some of the challenges you guys faced in more detail.
congrats on FINALLY being able to bring little C home!!
