Holding on my GOD!! not a thread!

So I didnt get the grant and Kinda knew it, but I prayed that if it wasn't his will then close the door!! I am on week 8 of foster classes and it has been quite interesting! My cousin said she would be interested in us having the baby and of course I can't say no, I am just torn with bonding with this this and giving him back. It just seems like I will Never get to have a child of my own and it hurts even though I try like crazy to not go there. I don't want to to down the whiny road with all the happiness that all of you have received!! i am truly happy for you!! Just keep me in your prayers, because unfortunately the road hasn't ended for me yet, hopefully soon!

hugs hun sorry on not getting the grant I hope that opportunity will open up for you but how cool is it your cousin is still very serious of you taking her baby? I think it is a heavy thought you have to give but you will come up with the right answer.. I hope the foster classes continue to go smoothly and you learn a lot.. thinking of you

I know how you feel. Waiting in the sidelines, wondering if it\'s ever going to be your turn. We just keep going, don\'t we? I think that\'s the only thing we know how to do., just soldier on.

I\'m sort of hoping that if your cousin thinks or realizes she cannot raise this child, then she would let you adopt it. Any idea if she\'s leaning that way? Does she have other children? What about the father? Is he stepping forward at some point?

I\'m excited you are plowing through your classes.

I think if you and I persist, something\'s gonna happen for us.

Praying for you and thinking of you always. I would have a really hard time with the idea of bonding with a child who could be taken away but I also was not presented with that opportunity. I pray that god lays his answer on your heart my friend. Xoxo

Thinking of you and I\'m so sorry you didn\'t get that grant. IF is not fair. Good luck with your classes and your situation with your cousin.

Damn, I\'m sorry you didn\'t get the grant. But, I really believe when one door closes, another opens. How are you liking the foster classes? I did 30 hours of MAPP training (foster parent training in NYC) and found it really interesting. It definitely reassured me that I wanted to be and WOULD be a parent one day. When is your cousin going to decide about the baby? That\'s such a tough situation.... I know the road to parenthood is long and often times seems unending, but please try to remember that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it will happen for you! ((hugs))

So sorry the grant didn\'t work out. I wish it was easier to get money for IF treatments. Has your cousin talked about giving the baby up of adoption or is it just short term. It must be so hard to think of having the baby for just a short time. I hope you get some good news soon.
