I can't stop Crying

We still don't have pink. We were kicked out of the US embassy 2 times. The attorney has been trying to resubmit but can't get in. we were submittted for pink the 1st time the week of Jan. 12. I am missing our baby that I have never held. I just want to go. Sorry for complaining I am just im a lot of emotional pain . Sara turned 7 months on Friday, We have missed so many 1st Holidays, I want to scream. I know others have been waiting longer and you all in my thoughts and prayers, How do you wait?
Karen

I am so sorry it is taking so long for the Embassy to issue your pink slip. I am still waiting for DNA auth, so I can't imagine how hard it is for you, being so close to bringing your little one home. I'll pray that you see pink very soon!!!!!

I am so sorry for you! The waiting stinks! I also got tossed from the embassy, and our lawyer has had a tuff time getting back in! I actually have spent a tad less time on the boards, and tried to keep busy! I am trying to spend more time with my daughter, as she will no longer be an only child-and she is going to be is shock! I hope your lawyer is in soon, and you head down to pick up you little one soon!
You are in my thoughts and prayers!!
Take care,
Sabra

Many sleepless nights and days with no appetite, I can feel your pain. I will say that it seems when things can go no lower, something wonderful happens to lift you back up. It will happen, it will happen...

This whole process is so full of ups and downs. We have to remember that we are MOMS! That means we are strong and we can and will survive anything that they throw at us. Our babies need us to be strong and to stay positive. We are women and I believe God made us to be the backbone of our familes. Never forget how strong you really are, and in the end of all our pain is worth it.

I was really down the other day and my friend reminded me of this. Somehow seeing myself as strong really helps me emotionally. Hopefully, this state of mind can help others who are waiting as well : )

You're not complaining!!

You are in pain and justifiably so. I am so sorry. We are trying to get something done so that this no longer happens but I am sure that does not make you feel any better. All I can say is hang in there. I am having the same emotional "breakdown" - for lack of a better word (I hope that doesn't offend you - It's early and the vocabulary portion of my brain has decided to sleep in ). Totally different reasons but just know that you are not alone in this.
