New Hope

It has been an exhausting time for me.  I have reached another year of the battle for my daughter.  What I have learned so far is the the legal systems in mist countries aren’t strong enough to fight international child abduction.  The courts aren’t accustomed or tailored to respond effectively and the only ones hurt are those that are taken away and those that have been taken from.

I pray often, I have spent 3 years fighting and spent most of my money fighting.  Recently, I realized that there has to be a better way. I must give up to have hope.

I prayed and then there was a message, a strong message that said, “she is still your daughter.”  Then there was renewed hope.  What I am considering giving up is the legal battle to bring her back. I decided to approach the abductor and ask for dialogue and an agreement. There hasn’t been a response but I pray that my ex will allow for my daughter to communicate with me.  She will be 10 years old in May.  I wish to ask what she would like her daddy to take her on her birthday then deliver it in person and with all of my love.

I wish to compromise by giving up the legal battle, I wish to establish a new relationship with my daughter and then be able to visit her.  I wish to be able to talk to her on a regular basis because her voice always filled my heart. I wish to know her thoughts and remind her to brush her teeth at night.  I wish to see her and see her smiling.

Pray that I can achieve this modest goal.
