It was so comforting to know that there are still a bunch of us with Oct/Nov referrrals waiting to bring our babies home. Let's still keep each other updated on our progress. I don't know if you all want to, but it gives me hope when I see one of us moving forward . So for me, my Oct. referral has been in PGN since Feb. and KO 3 times with the last re-entry on July 10. My Nov. referral has been in PGN since March and KO twice with the last re-entry on June 29. I don't know how you all feel, but when people keep asking "what's going on down there", "when are the babies coming home" it is starting to get so hard. It's like I don't know how to respond anymore. Anyway, glad to know I have company here to keep me upbeat and plugging along. Praying for all of us to get out in the next "15 days" as we have heard

Hang in there, Karen. I just read your signature and it is awful that you have been waiting so long to get your babies home. I will keep you and the babies in my prayers!!!!

Hey Karen,

I remember you from when I used to do the DNA list. It has been a long while.... time for you to get those little girls home. And hey, they may even come home at the same time .

We're not Oct/Nov... still in the '05 referral category and we would be going faster if we were going backwards. Don't mean to jump in on your thread. Just wanted to pop in and say good luck! Hope you and the other long time waiters get some good news SOON!!

Take care,
Tom

Good to hear from you. I spent quite some time on that DNA list as well . Time for your baby to come home too!! I can't believe the Embassy is being such a pain for you. Praying for your PA very soon, then off to PGN . By then, they should be all caught up according to today's meeting. Let's hope.

[KarenJerseyGirl]

Thank you Kristen for your prayers. I love your avitar, by the way. Such handsome boys you have. Now, for your little girl...you are in my prayers as well.

Hi there! I'm a Nov. referral and I agree that it is getting really tough. I like to look in on the timelines as well and keep track of those with similar timelines. We went in mid April, KO in June and back in 7/3. I too am hoping for an out in August, just hoping that it won't be another ko instead. I don't know how I would handle that. I get such joy out of seeing other's get their "outs" because we know someday soon, that will be us and we can only imagine that feeling. Hang in there and let us know any news you may receive

I'm still here, too. Getting ready to visit my beautiful son Aug. 3-13. Just a few more days and my son will be in my arms. He is 9 months old and way overdue for coming home.

Hoping for that out call soon, as we were resubmitted on June 14th. Come on PGN!!! Let us all out!!! I want to make my visit trip a looooong pick up trip.

I will be praying for all of us! and I love the idea of keeping in touch this way!

Thank you all for posting. We are feeling the same excruciating pain of waiting for our son to come home.
Over the weekend, we found out that my sister-in-law is pregnant. She told us that she didn't want to have a little girl. I replied to this insensitive comment with, "We would be happy to raise and love her forever, if you don't want to." Then the next day I had to attend my husband's cousin's babyshower. I was ask at least 7 times, "When is your baby coming home?" 2 of the people I had never even met before!!! I am really starting to lose it! Sorry, I vented a little. But, I continue to have faith that my darling son will be home soon.

I am a Oct. 3 referral. We just came back from trip #5 last night.
We are in PGN, with 1 KO. Its been 2 1/2 weeks sice we were back in.
IN 2 more days it will be 10 mo. since her referral. I'm ready to get her
out! But now we have referral #2 to go through it all over again!Yeah!
We are hoping to have her SW and DNA done Thurs. But we still don't
have auth. yet!

[TerriBB]

I'm right with all of you. I'm so glad that you have posted! It's so hard to answer the questions of where your baby is...when she's coming home...and now, folks are telling me horror stories - it's worse than the goofy things people told me when I was pregnant!! (As if I could do anything about possible issues ...she's still in PGN!)

Our agency has a site - and the April/May/June referals are now in PGN. I'm afraid if I start crying, I won't be able to stop. It's as if we're walking on eggshells. It doesn't help that our kick out was for a silly human error!

[katsco]

Hello everyone! I am still here and waiting for the out that will bring our little guy home. We had two PGN outs but they were previos. Kind of like when we were waiting for DNA Auth. for 3 months. Now we are going on 3 months in PGN. I am praying that we all have our little ones home before their 1st Birthday's.
