We are a NOVEMBER referral, although our paperwork didn't get to Guatemala until the first week in December. It took 9 months for us to get DNA. We are now in PGN 6 weeks.

Hey Daphne,

Like others on here, we are a December referral. I remember how quickly you were on then off the DNA list . Wow that seems like an eternity ago.

It can be very hard to come to the boards some days. Lately each time we come it seems we 'know' fewer people. We know we will bring him home - just hoping it will be soon.

Hey, we have all been here long enough to see the some 'long timer' cases come home. Which one of us will be next?!?

Take care everyone - prayin we all get some good news soon.
Tom

Terri - Hope things are straightened out for you guys to go get Flora on time .

Yup, I'd say I was along-timer. Started at the very end of Dec.(not paper ready). Will soon be a member of the 100 day club for PGN , however, part of our delay is having a minor b-mom. Hugsto all of us at whatever stage of waiting we are in...it's no fun.
Blessings,
Kris

We're a Dec. referral, though our case seems to be running very similar to yours. We went in the end of March, but we've also had the three KOs and two were for the same BC issue. Our little one is a toddler and we were told they're being much more stringent on requirements for toddlers and above who were not relinquished at birth. In the last one, the birth mother had to actually make out a totally new birth certificate. Hang in there, it will happen! LSMOM

Count us among the January referrals. Our little guy was born 1/13/06. As you can see from our timeline PGN has not been kind to us!

I'm a December girl, too.
We accepted the referral just days before our 171 expired.
We had to wait 3 months for the new one.
We're in PGN since July.

God BLess us all!!

I actually belong no where near here (accepted referral 6/06)-- but joined in this weird state of just interest after bringing home DD (home 11/05, joined 4-5/06) and have gotten to 'know' many of you and then somehow we accepted a referral when we were never intending too and are of course WAITING. Anyway, you all are right, there are many new faces, and many of the leaving kind when their babies get home.

It is my daily prayer that Chel and Tom and all the other waiters get home quickly...I KNOW (from waiting longer than the av at the time) that once babe gets home you forget the wait...but the time drags on. Let me tell you...if I hear another of my friends complain about being preg another week I might have a 'talk'...just kidding, with her. Does anyone want to count the number of times I have given the "in a few weeks it will seem like forever talk...". But I know that even the most pregnant of mommies never appreciate the anguish we go thu-- it 'happens' for them, like that "****" bio clockwork.
