Thanks, y'all, from my heart.

Still don't understand why no one called us, but it doesn't matter now. Just as long as we get her.

 

[ABSTRUSE]

I always know I can count on my "family" here!

Cloudy, my prayers and thoughts are with you guys...good luck.

I know I can't, but if there is anything, anything I can do, please let me know..

Good luck and for God's sake keep fighting. My baby sister was ten years old when my wife and I debated trying to take her from her mother.

She's the child of my father and his second ex-wife and is 20 years younger than me. Her parents divorced when she was 4, and neither one seemed to want to raise her.

My wife and I discussed it and decided that her mother would never go for it and gave up.

Fifteen years and 10 drug convictions later I still regret that decision. May God be with you and may that child come to know how much you care about her.

That brought tears to my eyes.

I just can't stand the thought of her being in the foster care system. I know there are some wonderful foster parents out there, but there's some not-so-wonderful ones too, and its just the luck of the draw.

Much better she be with us, family, and know she is loved.

Cloudy,

Things like this have a way of working out. Especially when there are people like yourself involved. You sound determined and your love for the child is obvious. I doubt very much of anything is going to come between you and the good of that child, but if it does it will be more of a time setback than an insurmountable obstacle.

Love can move mountains, when need be.

Thanks, Lucky.

You know, I was just sitting here thinking about the whole situation.

My husband and I have certainly had our ups and downs - been separated twice. But, when he told me the situation with Amber, he had already started the wheels turning before he had talked with me about it.

I was horrified, and the first thing out of my mouth was "We need to get her."

Amazing how when something like this happens you pull together. He said he'd known I'd say something like that, so had already started working on it. It just made me feel wonderful - him knowing that I wouldn't hestitate to take her in, and love her like she was mine.

We'll see how cooperative the state is about her custody, but like I've told you before - I'm not called "stubborn as a rock" for nothin'!

I think everyone here has faith that you will do what you set out to do.

I do feel obligated to give one more piece of unsolicited advice.

If you and your husband still have any issues in your relationship, address them now. You will want to be as stable and settled as possible, because you will need to support each other and lean on each other throughout what's coming.

I have a teenage daughter of my own and she is, frankly, a terrific kid. But even she has her moments that try both my wife's and my patience.

An angry child from a disfunctional family is going to have issues and you will only be doing her and yourselves a disservice if you think otherwise. Saving this child from what has been put in front of her will be a rewarding and wonderful experience. But it will also be difficult and, at times, frustrating.

When you are having issues with the child, any issues between you and your husband will become magnified. That's when it will be hardest to remember how much you love each other and it will also be when you need it the most.

I'm not telling you this to scare you. Quite the opposite. None of these things will be insurmountable and the rewards for accomplishing what you are doing will far more than make up for it. It's simply that these things are easier to handle if you see them coming as opposed to having your eyes closed when they occur.

Once again may God bless you both. That young girl is very lucky to have two people who care about her so very much.

 

[Honey123]

Cloudy, McF is right. Make sure that you and your husband work through any problems you have. Be strong!!

Good luck....and don't forget we are always here for you

 

[cloudy]

Thanks, guys.

My husband and I have been back together for a little over a year now, and things are going well. Sure, we fight now and then, but who doesn't? The big problems have all been worked through and settled - the little things are petty and will work themselves out.

About children, we are in complete accord.

Thanks everybody, for your good wishes across the miles.

 

[Honey123]

Well, we love you Cloudy!

 

[Guest]

Well, we love you Cloudy!

Yep, and have a lot of admiration, too.

All the best, with everything, Cloudy.

[mcfbridge]

Yes, Cloudy. You are doing a wonderful thing. And on your husbands behalf, thanks for putting up with one of us "imperfect males". that's a redundancy by the way, like "tiny petite"

Excuse me there son. Speak for yourself. Some of us like to think that we are practically perfect in every way.

Of course my daughter frequently tells me that she does not share that opinion.


As for anyone who does not feel perfection exists in this world, I would point out a picture of Lou as an argument for the other side.

You'll get far with them.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

I'm more butch than they are.

 

[Belegon]

Poor Thom gets no love? He works wonders on some of those places. Carson seems to get all the attention.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Thom is so chubby and plain and boring. Carson is ugly, but he's so efeminate that he's cute. Kyan's handsome, Allen looks like a social worker, and Jai's cute as a button - I just want to pour chocolate sauce over him and eat him with a spoon.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

In short, go ahead and try to marry your own gender. But know that when any man fucks with another man, he's also fucking with a Bush. And when you do that, a Bush gets nasty. And a nasty Bush is the last thing you wanna fuck around with. Just ask my dad.

I've just found me a new favoruite website!
