Is the head of PGN on vacation this week?

This is nuts, there is no movement.

At least we have BC and preapproval movement...

Anyone know whats going on with PGN?

I have no idea but I'm praying that you and all the others waiting in PGN get out soon!

I heard that they had some big power outage (really)...

I heard the same thing, only the word "outage" was replaced with "trip"

Well, I think they worked really hard all week and because of that, there's going to be a HUGE NUMBER OF OUTS next week. So hold on to your hats everybody! We're gonna be celebrating a lot next week.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Every week I am so optimistic that this is the week for me but I'm almost afraid to be at this point. It seems like there are a few scenarios...

One, there is at least one speedy reviewer who seems to get cases out in days vs. weeks. To my knowledge, some people wait longer for a sign off than this reviewer takes for the whole thing including the sign off.

Then, there is a two-three months stay w/one or two KOs. I hope at this point that this is where I fall.

Three, there seems to be at least one reviewer playing by the old rules. Cases seem to sit on his/her desk for no reason for endless amounts of time. There is a string of KO's, mostly erroneous, some even for things that were previously fixed. It seems clear that this type of reviewer is on a power trip and/or doesn't really believe in IA.

I know overall the Guatemala program is one of the best for adopting a younger, healthy infant. But, this completely random aspect of it has me very frustrated at this point. I know it may fade away when it is over and I know my timeline isn't really that bad at this point, but at this point I can also see why people are drawn to a more predictable program like China where once you know who your referral is, your wait is X number of weeks and that's it.

Sorry to vent so much. I know what God wants is that I keep hoping and have faith. I know my son deserves that. I will pray for everyone waiting for resolution this weekend, whether it is PGN, PAW, or something else. The waiting is truly a tough test.

Wow Johnna- You sure said this well!

I second that. This waiting is very painful. After our stint in PAW Investigation I am even to afraid to put myself on the PGN waiters list, I just can't bear the thought of being at the top the way I was on PAW list, silly I know but .... We just want our lovely babies home.
