In reply to Shawna.

Wow, Shawna. My deciding factor is always “will I regret (doing this / not doing this) in 5 years”? It really helps me to weight the pros and cons and kick my own butt if needed (and frequently it is needed). lol.
Big hugs. You’ve got this.

Awe thank you for sharing such a vulnerable time in ya’lls lives and being so real and authentic. Damn, I knew I liked you – but now I really love you. <3 Hugs
I'm sorry ya'll had to go through that, but hope that ya'll still stay in touch and continue connecting in this Earthly plane – sounds like ya'll have had some past lives together. 😉

This gave me an aha in my life for how I'm feeling – am I choosing my NOW (this comfortable uncomfortable place that really doesn't give me much of a future in the corporate world, but it feels safe) for a possible better LATER (that has much uncertainty, but is going to push me out of my comfort zone and make me expand – by building my own online coaching business) and if I don't do something NOW will I regret it LATER?! Hmm…deep thoughts there

I’m a mom of 5 and a grandma of 10. You and your husband are just as much parents, as my husband and I are. You love her unconditionally. You let her be her own person, good decision or bad. You’ll be there for her if and when she needs you. This is what moms and dads do and you’ve done that. God bless all three of you!

Nicole,
My heart aches for what you and your family must be feeling. All of your lives will be enriched by meeting and spending time with one another though.

Nicole, what a beautiful and touching story. I cried reading it. Even if the adoption didn’t go through, your lovely Latvian daughter’s life will be changed for the better, forever, by knowing you (just as she’s changed yours). I know you’re going to stay in touch and be her guardian angels from across the ocean. Much love to you and yours.
