I am personally just upset re what happened w Babeeboy (2 years wait and no baby) and ALL THOSE STUCK IN PGN for months and months. Although it worked for us: This system where you are given a referral and get to know and love the child but can't bring them home right away is very tough. I think the children and their paperwork/birth mothers signing off etc needs to be done BEFORE the referral is made. Adoptive families paperwork also needs to be approved before the referral. I really feel it is up to the whim of the individual reviewers to slow the process down or not. Sorry to be negative and I do admit overall the system works but it is so tough when it doesn't.
