Ready for some part of this to come easy

I am so frustrated with my wait for PINK.....this was supposed to be the easy part and my agency promised this part would fly by because my PGN stay was so horrible!! BUT we have not even been submitted for our BC yet (2 WEEKS!!) because they have to drive to get the bmom signature (that takes 2 weeks?? I will fly down and drive to her myself if the issue is a driver)....of corse they have assured me there are no problems with the bmom signing but I am starting to have my doubts. I just wish one part of this process could go smoothly.

Jess

I am so sorry--I agree--you should have been able to hope for a quick finish to this process, after all you've been through!

Sorry Jess, don't know what to say. You sure wouldn't think that getting the bmom's siggy would take that long.

That does seem like a long time for them to get the protocolo signed. Maybe they have trouble coordinating it with her schedule? Who the heck knows? I am so sorry for your awful wait at this stage of the game. Gracious.

Jess,

If I ever get pink, maybe I could drive her? Two weeks is a really long time to get the signature. I would press the program director to find out what is going on ( and by phone as she sometimes talks more).

As for us, we are still waiting for the Mixco CR to release our BC, so we're still waiting too. I'm right there with ya, this part shouldn't be hard.

Thanks everyone just feeling sorry for myself today.

Gail: sorry you are still waiting and thanks for the offer to drive...I have been pressing the program director, however, there is not much info coming this way...will try again today. Hope you get your BC soon!

Jess

Jess, I am right there with you. I am not sure if you have read my Pink nightmares, but the shenanigans never end. I'm sorry and I feel your pain.

Jess,
I am so sorry nothing is going smooth for you or Tristan. I wish all the attorneys would use a POA for the Birthmother so no one has to wait for the final sign off..... I worried about the last signature for no reason......

I would try the agency again... light a fire under their @$$
