Feeling So Helpless
Hello ladies. I guess you are wondering why I haven't been around lately. I have been going through my own private nightmare. My ex-husband takes my daughter to his home country of Yemen for a month every summer. This year, he refuses to bring her back. I am going to every agency that I can to try to get her back. I spoke to her yesterday and we both cried. She wants to come home so badly. My heart is absolutely broken but I am trying to maintain hope. If it isn't too much trouble, it would be awesome if you could send me your prayers, positive energy, hopes, anything. It would be greatly appreciated. Love you all. -- GinaMIREILLE'S CALENDAR

Any news yet?
Hi Gina - I just wanted to check with you and see if you have had any news yet? I think about you often and your situation and pray that you will have a safe return of your baby! Please keep us updated! As a mother myself I can't even imagine your pain...and to think that this is all happening in a time of your life that should be so happy because you just got married! (((((hugs )))))) to you!MrsKoller

Thank you for the love
No, things are still unresolved. Now he is just being a coward. He knows he's in trouble so he is afraid to come back. Such a child. My agent tells me to have patience and his family here is doing their best to try to resolve it. They are frustrated as well. Plus all this happening with Yemen in the news - I have no idea how cooperative the government will be given these latest developments. But I thank you all for your support. I am trying to stay focused so my other children are not as hurt by this, but it is hard and I must say that I have noticed that my teenager doesn't eat that much. She was very close to her little sister, but she also doesn't like to express how she is feeling. No mother should have to go through this.Gina

Still thinking of you and your little Jasmeen. How are things progressing? Have you contacted you local senator (here it would be Member of Parliament)? Write to Mrs Obama, anyone who may have some influence on the authorities. Keep your spirits up, sending loads of love and prayers in your direction. xxxxxannamey

OMG
Gina - my prayers go out to you and your daughter. Gives me chills and reminds me of the movie "Not without my daughter". You need to get an attorney and need to get one NOW. Go to your local American Embassy and get the wheels in motion NOW. Gather all your documents from the divorce, the custody agreement, etc. Make sure you keep things friendly with your ex and never forget that your daughter's welfare could depend on it! By that I don't mean he would do anything to harm her, just that if he thinks he is getting to you he will continue with this behavior. You recently got married - correct? Could this be your ex's way of getting revenge? How sick is that? OMG girl. I'm ex law enforcement and you need to get moving ASAP. If you cannot affford an attorney, go to your local legal aide, go to your local FBI office. Tell everyone. Do not stand in silence. Hugs to you! Please please keep us updated!! LindaNikita
