For now, farewell

We came to Russia with high hopes and a really big dream.  We'll go home with this cool picture & many lessons learned.  Unfortunately with no referral.  It's going to take some time to process all that's happened, so for now that's all I have to say about that.  My mind + heart is numb.  At some point there are no more tears for the inability to conceive/inability to conceive with the help of IVF/inability to use your embryos because they were thrown away/inability to stay pregnant with the help of IVF & now the inability to adopt.  I really thought that it was time for our miracle.

p.s. I really miss lil' E.  I can't wait to smother him with smooches.

p.s.s. thanks for sending your love and prayers in our behalf.

My heart aches for you, Mariah. I'm so sorry you've had to go through so much stress and heartache during this process. I'm thankful that you were able to return to Russia, though. Somehow this will all work out. It just has to! Hug that cute little man of yours and keep praying. Miracles happen and you are so deserving of one! :)
