The bad news is that we can't refinance or get anything based on home equity, because our home has no equity. It's basically worthless. Our cars are also basically worthless and I don't think anyone would pay for my body, so our financial options are nil at this point. (Can you hear me screaming?)
I hate being unable to control things in my life. Aside from adoption, the other things stressing me out are David's doctorate applications. I can't force anyone to accept him, so once again our future is completely outside my control.
I'm thinking of either going to Vegas, robbing a bank, or planting a cabbage patch and then making the poor starving farmer that steals my food pay me back with his first born child who will have really long hair and be shut up in a tower.
Thank goodness for the little girl that lights up my life. Baylie is always the best news. This is her response when I asked her to smile. (I knit her this hat and scarf. The store bought hats won't fit over her hair.)
P.S. Baylie is off the pacifier! We cut the end off of it and told her it was broken. She hasn't been very happy about it, but she's done pretty good.

Bummer about the finances...how long before you hear on the doctoral acceptance? I'll be sending good luck vibes your way!
So sorry to hear you can't get $$ from your home.
Have you heard/thought of embryo adoption? There are some sites that have donors who donate their left over embryo's to couples wanting a baby. $100 would get you a profile and then couples who have embryos would either contact you or you would contact them if you are interested in the embryo's they have to offer. A lady who's blog I follow said that the cost for her to get the embryo, have them implanted, with the hormone therapy was about $4,000. There would be the cost of delivery but if $$ is an issue there is always medicade.
I'm not sure what your fertility issues have been, but maybe with a donor embryo you could successfully become pregnant and deliver a healthy baby. I don't remember how old you are but I'm pretty sure you are under any age limit they have. (I think its 45??)
Let me know if you want more info.
And yes, how could that sweet face not light up your life?! She is a doll!!
I like option 3, with your cabbage farm :) :) :)
You always make me smile!
I have learned (the hard way) that when things aren't going the way you WANT them to, they'll usually end up better if you do what you're supposed to!!!
I know you guys'll do awesome...
cute hat! Did you do the cute booties you left also? I LOVE them. Thanks so much.
I am going through similar frustrations but I keep believing when I am out of solutions is really when God can work. Often times I laugh because I go through these periods when I don't think God is acting quick enough so I jump in to help and just get in the way. It is said but I have to keep learning the same lesson over and over again. God doesn't need my help. LOL.
Sometimes when we are at our wits end that is when God does his best work. Stay prayful and faithful and watch what he can do.
