we might lose lily
I've hesitated posting this but at this point I'm making myself physically ill from worry so I'd appreciate all of you keeping us in your thoughts and prayers today.
We learned on Monday that Lily's birthmother may be terminating the adoption and reclaiming Lily. It's a very long and complicated story that really has less to do with Lily and more to do with the birthmother and some unfortunate news she has gotten.
Our lawyer in Guatemala and a social worker are meeting with the birthmother today to try to get a resolution on this. My heart is breaking for the birthmother and her situation, and I am totally devastated for us, and I'm worried sick about Lily's future.
I hope to have an update tomorrow, but I might have to go the entire weekend not knowing.
This week has been one of the worst ever, comparable only to when we we were struggling with our only pregnancy which was very difficult and ultimately ended with a miscarriage just before my 2nd trimester...that was exactly 3 years ago at this exact same time of the year.
I am skipping the months of August-November for the rest of my life. This is too painful.

RE: we might lose lily
Holli, I am so, so very sorry that you are going through this. My heart fell even lower reading that you might have a weekend of not knowing what is happening with little Lily. I wish I knew what to say to provide you some comfort.
It feels awful when devastating events cluster together. July and August are the months that I dread because they mark sad anniversaries for me. I'm so sorry that you are going through this at this time.
I'm thinking about you!

Oh no, Holli. I am very sorry for the turmoil you are going through. I can't even imagine how you must be feeling. Big hugs to you and your husband.

OMG Holli! I am so sorry. I will be thinking of you and hoping and praying. I can't imagine what you are going through, but please know that you are in many people's prayers.
By the way, both my mom and my grandma, plus my DH's mom and grandparents all died in October. We try to skip that month too.

OH Holli-
I am crying for you...I was up in Raleigh today and so wish I knew this before I left I would have come to get you and treated you to lunch or a massage or anything. Though that is nothing to offer...my ear and shoulder would have been there, just some time to talk.
I can not imagine what you are going thru, I just can't...please email me off line if you need to talk I'll call you and do anything I can for you!!!!!!
Please keep us updated for you know we are all in pain for you...
ALL OF MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE HEADED YOUR WAY...EVERY LAST OUNCE OF THEM....
Hugs,
