We have been in since JULY 29TH and my patience is running thin. And updated pics don't make me feel better anymore either!

We were kicked out once and resubmitted and haven't heard anything since. I was really hoping that another wave of OUTS would come in this week but I only see very few OUT posts. What is going on!!!

AAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHH PGN LET US OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok I feel better now (not really, but it feels good to scream!)

I am right here with you guys waiting ! I see so many OUT posts and I am really getting impatient. We have been K/O twice
and I have had enough already!

Honeycustard you should be hearing something real soon, everyone in PGN around your time is posting OUTS, I am sure yours is right around the corner !

When we went in we were told to expect anywhere from 1-3 months. Given that timeline you could be very close or have a few more weeks. Either way, things will work out and you will have your daughter home with you soon.

Best of Luck

Oh Eve...

I KNOW how you feel (and I haven't been as long!!). That being said...hang in there...

There are 19 people on this forum who have been in longer...I know that doesn't help...but imagine being that long??? UGH!!

As of today...you have been in 51 days (and based on my stats the other day...see psychotic pgn post)...the average is 60...

It helped me to have a figure to count as average (but...that's average...kind of like a due date...the baby can be late...)

Hang in there my friend...you are not alone. I too get so bummed (AND MAD AND JEALOUS) when I see folks bringing home 3-4 month olds and my son is just getting older and I am missing him...

((((HUGS))))

We are right there with you! We went in PGN back on July 28th. Have been kicked out 3 times now. Obviously all Guatemala side errors as we have not been asked to submit any corrected documents. It took a week for them to make the last correction and resubmit. It's really rough!!!! You want so badly to be one of those folks who went in PGN and then exited without KO's. We have only received one picture of our child since referral, the one we did receive was from August and he had changed so much already I wanted to cry! We feel like we are missing out on so much, he is now 8 months old and of the age that he will be bonding with his foster family. It is going to make it rougher on us, our baby, and the foster family. My husband and I have very little vacation time left from work and want to save it for when he comes home hoping he will be able to adjust a little easier, so going down for a second time before pickup is probably not going to happen. We'll keep you in our prayers! Hang in there, I know it get's discouraging hearing those words but we really do not have any choice, ugh. It is so hard to concentrate on anything, you feel so anxious and frustrated. We have started trying to get everything possible done around the house prior to our baby coming home so we will have more time to spend with him. If you can force your mind and body to jump into some productive work that is very physical, it does help a little. Take care.

We are on our 2nd k/o. It seems like they looks at the file about every 3 weeks after it's resubmitted so far. Why can't they just look at the whole file and get all the mistakes corrected at once?!! It is very frustrating. I also am getting really tired of people asking me "Why don't you have your baby yet?" or "When is he coming home?" That does seem to be the million dollar question. I'm past the end of my patience level but of course we have no choice but to wait as long as we have to. Our baby is almost 9 months old and I'm worried about how hard it will be on everyone, when we do get him, to take him away from the only family he's ever known. Anyway, I've been very patient up til the last few weeks but I am starting to feel very envious when I see people bringing babies home so young. Hopefully it will all be over soon.

I was entered in PGN in June and have 3 ko's (pre-approval and guat side corrections). I appreciate that they need to do their job and make sure everything is the way it needs to be, and at the same time, I am with you all--I wish they would ask for all of the corrections all at once, instead of every 3-4 weeks.

I have been so sad about this part of the wait and feel alot of what everyone else has said. The constant, "when is your baby coming home?" is getting really getting hard. I thought I was going to cry when a co-worker recently asked.

The thing that gives me hope are the posts and advice from the folks who have "been there." They all say the same thing--that when they get their child in their arms, the pain of the wait goes away. So all you "old timers" out there, feel free to keep those words of encouragement coming!

Hi
Hang in there Eve,,it shouldnt be long now...I think I already PM"d you about someone who could check on your status in PGN..
We were "in' for 2 months,,and that was with 4 lawyers on the payroll! It isn't easy waiting...but I really feel she should be out soon...

[EZ2Luv]

Just wanted to let you all know you are in my prayers. As frustrating as the wait is, soon you will have your little ones in your arms and all will be worth it and forgotten.





God Bless You All
May you all be out ASAP
