Anyone else nervous about going into PGN?
I found out that we are going into PGN tomorrow and I'm so nervous for some reason I can't sleep. I just keeping mentally reviewing my documents in my head and worrying about what they could pick on. I feel like I'm waiting to find out my grade on a big exam. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to be in, but
 Anyone else feel that way??

Congrats and the next step! We are not there yet, but we were told by agency to redo some docs today-nothing major but it gets me paranoid about PGN because we didn't even catch the mistakes and now they are so obvious to me! I think our agency is very thorough and you'll be fine. Offer it up and sleep like your baby is-dreaming of a new family! Good luck!!!!

Think Positive
I know at this point it is extremely difficult, however you must think positive. This is the final step for you before you can get your pink slip and pick your child up and bring them home. Optimistic instead of Pessamistic.

You are definitely not alone in being nervous about PGN. I think you replied to my "Horrible Day" post yesterday, so you know how worried I am and I'm not even close to entering PGN. Try to stay positive!!

Oh yes! I had a permanent stomach ache from the rime we entered to the time I got the phone call saying we exited. I laid in bed every night thinking of possible mistakes in my paperwork. I even redid two things and got them certified and authenticated just in case. Luckily we were not in for a very long time, I don't think I would have had any stomach lining left if we were.
You'll be great!! Shannon

Although I'm past this stage, I remember this feeling so well. I was SO excited and SO nervous all at once. I also started worrying about our paperwork and if all the signatures were ok and if things were worded correctly, etc, etc. I had to get busy to keep my mind off it. Congrats on entering PGN!

Me too!! I am so excited and sick to my stomach at the same time. The unknown is enough to make anyone crazy and I am already there now. I am just praying things continue to pick up in PGN and none of us are waiting too long.
