I love your little Chynna and if she can bring some more happiness into your lives -- well that is a ring well spent! If she eats too much, I will always buy some more of your clothes!

Seriously, I know you will give your girls a Merry Christmas and Chynna is a family gift herself. So, don't let any negatives ruin your holiday. You have many, many well wishes and CONGRATULATIONS on your newest member of the family. She is a doll!

Kat, I know FIRST HAND how much you've been going through and I know little Chynna will bring you and your family so much joy. Enjoy her, she's beautiful!! And I love the name (remember MY China (aka Cali) ) hehehehe

You can't even imagine!!!!!!! Clothes are just the surface!!!!!

Okay, so now I am really confused. You can't afford a dog, so you trade a ring for it. You can't afford Christmas, so your children will not have a Christmas. You are now receiving assistance from the County for medication. Okay. I get all that, well, kinda. What I don't get is, you bragging about all the items you have. You are saying poor me, poor me, you don't understand what I have been through, and then you give a list of things you have sold and then a list of all the jewelry you still have. Since you are adept at selling on E-Bay and desperate for money, why have you not sold some of your jewelry there. I hear E-Bay is a great place to sell items.

We have several agencies here that give Christmas gifts to children that will otherwise not have one. I am sure they have that where you are as well and might be possible for your little girl to have a nice Christmas with more than just a dog under the tree.

Kathryn-

Thanks for taking the time to PM me. Although I still stand by the point I was trying to make and don't understand your choice, you gave me some other insight to some non related situations that have made me understand some of your other problems you've shared with us here. Despite my opinions regarding this specific topic, I wish you the best and hope you and your family have a great holiday season.
Congrats to your husband on his new opportunities.
