Golly it's been a long week. And what has been happening? Well, the easy answer to that is nutt'n. We know that Michigan ICPC got the paperwork on Monday or Wednesday, and we were really hoping that we would hear by now what they think about it. Maybe by next week? Jared is flying back home early Monday morning and I have to drop him off at the Kalamazoo airport by 6am. As much as I love him being out here, I'm glad he can get back to his work responsibilities. This has been his third trip (and final trip) and his company has bent over backwards for us. He's already used so much of his time off that he's had saved up, but he just needs to get back so he work. I miss all my friends at JJC too. I'm excited for when I get back and can go show her off. And I miss my favorite enchiladas at Chubbys. That's a nickname everyone in my office has for this little mexican resturaunt in park city. Everybody knew that I loved Chubby's... because I'd go there for lunch at least once or twice a week and would order the same exact thing. Man, it will be good to get back.
At least I'm down to a four week's left before Feb 6th. But unless they finish the hearing it will finish on the 13th. I really, really, really, really hope that they will come to a decision on those dates and get something decided. The birthfather has been really driving our birthmother crazy. Last week he had his girlfriend try to convince Abbie to allow her access on Abbie's private myspace page (to snoop I'm sure). Didn't happen. She told Abbie that he loved Kylie and that he and his girlfriend wanted to be Kylie's parents. And how they wouldn't swear or do drugs around her (like that always works). Just a lot of teenage drama and Abbie doesn't need to be egged on from people like that. Or having to defend her decisions or to even defend Jared and I. They think she has just given her away because she doesn't love her and they should be next in line. Pretty sad.
I can't wait for this to all be over, for all of our sakes. It's been a heavy burden for all of us. And I know that for years I will have twinges of jealousy for those that can take their newborns home directly from the hospital. Babies shouldn't have to be four months old before they even get to see their nursery and the home they will live in with their forever family. It's hard too because I feel like Kylie is so much ours that like sometimes I forget how her birthfather can have such control over this situation... because I know who her real dad is. Does that make sense? I hope everybody has a great weak and gets something productive done. Me included.

We've been praying for you guys. We are so excited for when you can come home. Good luck!
You are in our prayers. I hope it all works out for you guys.
Sheesh! Your poor birthmom. What an ordeal he's put everyone through. How sad that perception of reality is so far off. He should be thankful she had found such a safe, wonderful home for Kylie to grow up in.
You're doing so great! I admire how well you've handled it all.
That's too bad that she's being pressured. I hope you can take your sweet baby hom soon...oh, and also get some enchiladas from Chubbys!
I'm so sorry the paperwork has been so insanely slow. You're in our prayers - we hope you're home soon!
So sorry that you have to go through this.
Oh Tamera, I'm praying for you sister! You're such an amazingly strong mom, and have gone through tenfold what a lot of us women who actually birthed our children have had to go through. Props to you! I hope you get to come home soon!
