Blessings to you, and your daughter. Same to Sloane and her Mommy. I wish you all peace, happiness and days of health and laughter

I get what you are saying here Elizabeth, I wondered that too... Would the birthmom be heartbroken to find out that before the baby was 2 months old that the parents she picked had split if her "dream" for the child was to be raised in a two parent household? And not that it would have any "legal" merit...would she have wanted to know or been consulted about the idea of re-choosing since seemily placement had just occurred...hard to know what is right...I certainly would hope that she might have been told about it prior to it being People Magazine headlines. But I think Sandra is a class act all the way around - and I hope there is ongoing communication - since thats reaaly the key in getting thru any situation. BTW- Sandy- from the transracial single Mom crowd - we are open to having playdates -anytime...call me!

What heart break for those left behind.

What??????? That would look great as part of a home study! Seriously sister, if you know how to stay in shape then allowing a natural process to occur in your body shouldn't be a big issue. See Heidi Klum... But that's not really the attitude that would lend someone to be a good mother- no matter how the child arrives in her life! Stick to what you are good at Jillian....

Mari, I have no words or insight that will take away the pain you feel. But just when you think you might be alone, remember that many of us on the forum feel connected to you and your journey. We are here to support, and love you, your daughter, your granddaughter, her parents and all that touch your heart as you have touched so many. May the blessing of health be yours Hugs heidi

What a sad and tragic loss for so many. Heartfelt prayers with Emily and you

Thanks for sharing Mari- you must be so proud of your daughters' accomplishments

Welcome sweet little boy, may today be a magical 1st step for all involved

offensive, ----a little Funny----- a little How some people really might feel??? Maybe

Rebecca- The emotional aspect of healing is as important as healing from the treatment side effects. My wish for all cancer survivors is a peaceful heart and to let go of that fear of return so that you and all can feel "whole" again. Letting go of that fear - means trusting that no matter how much time you have with your kids (important also to the 47yr old mom of a 3 and 7 yr olds)its valuable, important and meant to be. And you might be blessed with a lifetime together. I worry about my fiends SIL and her ability to emotionally bond with these babies, that effect on the children and the toll caring for twins will have on her healing. I pray for the best for all. And for you Rebecca - I wish you nothing but a peaceful heart and lifetime of remission, and the chance to make your dreams come true -no matter what path you decide xoxo Heidi

A bushful of love for all who know and love this little boy!

Boy Oh Boy - what a special way to begin 2010. Congradulations to the little CCC boys and all that will love them forever

Nurses love having the same pts to care for because it helps us "catch" things. I am glad to see that you are ready to continue writing the story. Yours is an amazing journey

I got a call last night from a dear friend who's sister-in-law was dx with Ovarian cancer this time last year. I have met her a few times, nice lady. She had 4 major surguries this year and 6 months of chemo which finished right after Thanksgiving. On Dec 5th and attorney called and they adopted twins last week. The babies are still in the hospital for another week or so. I was horrified that this happened, the poor lady hasn't had a chance to heal from the past year of treatment, nor has she had tests yet to show she is even in remission. While- I do beleive that every cancer survivor what wishes to be come a parent - should have the chance to follow their hearts....but seriously this seems like jumping the gun. I couldn't even fake happiness, I am such a bad lier. Since its private - no home study or anything is done at the beginning - so its up to the attorney to make the decisions. Who knows if they even told him she was finishing treatment. But it makes me think that some type of standards that apply across the board are important to make sure the kids are given the best opportunity to thrive. I pray for all involved, most for continued health and a life time of happiness.

Mari - Hugs to you and yours. May 2010 be the year of restored health for your daughter. Again the photos are amazing. Hugs Heidi

Excellent indeed!

welcome little one and all who adore her

Mari- The new photos are amazing!!!! The girls look so picture perfect!
