So sorry to hear that you are having a hard time with your wait......it can be VERY emotional! Please take time to consider all the options before you give up, if you truly want to bring another baby into your family. We accepted the Referral of our baby girl on May 2 - her DNA test was not completed until June 27 - the wait was KILLING me (we actually lost the Referral of our first son three months after accepting him due to the DNA test). We were in the FC that is not adoption friendly as well, and we found out that we were out of Family Court and entered PGN around August 21 - a week later, I was just trying to see when we would receive photos because the only photos we had received were Referral photos, and they notified me that we were out of PGN! I was SO SURPRISED!!!!!!! We were in for 6 weeks with our son and only 8 days with our daughter........so, to make a long story short, we were praying to have her home by Thanksgiving or Christmas because of all the "early" delays, and she was in our arms forever on September 5 at 5 months old
So, although one step may be very long, you may slide right through the remainder of the process with no delays. Keep your chin up and since you have done this before (I think around the time we adopted our son) - you know how rewarding it is!!!! I will keep your family in my prayers!
