Delayed again

We just got word that the Judge that was to hear our case yesterday went into labor. She was 9 months pregnant. Her replacement was not completely trained so she has not stepped up and taken her cases. She has rescheduled our case to be heard mid December. We will not have A home for Christmas. We will not travel to get him until the END of January.

I can't even believe I am typing this. I feel like I have been punched in the gut and I can't breath. I think being strong is over rated cuz' all I can do is cry and shake right now. I feel like all my bones have been ripped out of my body. I want to sleep and drink Wine but I know that neither of those will help. SO, I listen to the song "Whisper His Name" by Johnathan Stockstill and I do what it says, it comforts me.

So, we wait...longer. Almost a year actually.

Pray for Dean, this is harder for him then he lets on. Steele doesn't understand why we keep talking and praying for A but he never gets here. And E is just sad. Christmas will not be what we wanted or hoped for. We will long for the child that is not here...yet.

I know this is all in Gods hands. I have to trust that. He is good. he is good.

i am so sorry to read this, carole. i know what a long, hard road this has been for you and i just pray God's peace and comfort over you right now. though i know it's not much consolation, God is in control of this and there must be a reason for the delay. looking back on it years from now, you will know what that reason is and fruit will have grown from your patience and faithfulness.

you are a rock and inspiration to so many. praying for you...

Gay Adoption

Image
This week our Louisiana state senate was presented legislation that would allow both partners in a homosexual relationship to be named as a parent in an adoption of a child . pro-family and political Christian organizations were at the capital "fighting for traditional families" And they won, the law expansion was not approved. I'm all for free speech, fighting for what you believe in, so they have a right to speak out if they feel so led. I don't know every person that was at the capital fighting against this law expansion, but I do know many of them, and of the ones I know, NONE of them have ever adopted. I would hope they had at least funded an adoption, are part of a mentoring program for children in foster care or something that helps orphans, but I don't know if that's the case either. I do believe from over 25 years of being a part of many pro-life, pro-family political action groups, that most of the people who are in these groups have no adopted

But Did You Die?

Image
Funny how life smacks you in the face with yourself. And it will smack you in the face with everything else. Both good and bad and at the same time too often. This last year I've said to myself more times than I can count, "But did you die? No? So shut the hell up. Buck up! Grow a damn vagina Carole! No one else is going to do it, you have to!" And somehow I make it through another day. The great benefit of being raised by a single mother and watching my sister live her life, balls to the wall is I KNOW I can rise to the occasion simply because I'm alive. I am in pain everyday in my heart and in my body. I have Frozen Shoulder. My entire left arm hurts all day every day pretty much. I'm in physical therapy which helps. Motrin helps. I have to take it before bed and get up and take it during the night.  I'm left handed and it is of course my left arm. Washing my hair is difficult. I can't reach back to my bra strap with my left hand. The joy o

The Womb, Being a Woman and Baby Loss

Image
 Chrissy Teigen and John Legend lost their baby last week and the hateful, pro pre-born baby crowd came out in full anti-Christ form to attack a grieving family. The adrenaline rush from the hate filled comment section on their social media will be their reward, I won't give them any more attention. No, in this post I'm going to talk about womb issues, empathize with a grieving family and share my story. From the time I was twelve until I had a hysterectomy at age forty I dealt with excruciating pain at the beginning of my periods most months due to Endometriosis. It also caused me trouble getting pregnant and caused me to have a horrific pregnancy. My doctor said he was surprised I got pregnant at all. After we had Evangeline I wanted to have more kids so we tried mild fertility pills which made the Endometriosis worse. There was one point during the treatment when my period was late so I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. I was so excited. All the pain and fertility t
