Yes Lippylulu is right about that pregnancy comment... I hate it too. I think the most wonderful thing my best friend said to me as was wallowing in the trrows of despair was , you know, you are such a strong woman and I just know you will make it through this and I admire you. I was so blown away as I appeared to myself to be at my worst. I have looked back on that comment and it has carried me through some tough moments.
Also, if you have mutual friends I would suggest throwing a cash and carry baby showere with a combined cash gift from all of the friends. People have given us some neat stuff and not to be rude at all, but we got a stuffed animal that is the equivalent of two nights in the hotel in Moscow. I know it sounds bad but everyone wants to give the baby something toy etc. What the baby needs is to get the heck out of there and come home. JMHO. Also, an orphanage donation shower off sets the cost of gifts being made to the baby home. Suggest a snow suit shower or a hats and mittens party! Just some ideas....most of all just being a friend does wonders...

" I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you and every long lost dream lead me to where you are others who broke my heart they were just northern stars pointing me on my way into your loving arms this much I know is true....That God blessed the broken road and lead me straight to you, I think about the years I spent just passing through, I'd like to take the time I lost and give it back to you but you just smile and take my hand even then you understand that its all part of this grander plan that is coming true and every long lost dream lead me to where you are..."-SELAH
