The I do not knows are my biggest struggle. Eric and I also got a nasty e mail and phone call from his mother telling us we are fools to have started this, that we have emotionally damaged our children to put them through this. That this will probably never happen and a bunch of other discouraging hurtful things.<BR/><BR/>I am wounded and overwhelmed and can so relate to the this way one day this way another day emotional roller coaster.<BR/><BR/>Jesus bless you guys. A moving process has to have some rewards. Hearing updates and new numbers is encouraging. I know how hard it is though.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11185144278221475770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068246506946253090.post-3530282073010479362008-11-10T06:59:00.000-08:002008-11-10T06:59:00.000-08:00If its any help Christy told she would estimate a ...If its any help Christy told she would estimate a referral by the end of dec or being of january.
