Homestudy-PGN KO question?

I read tonight on this site that someone got KO from PGN because their Homestudy said" recommended for adoption of a child" rather then "approved".

I am curious if anyone else has had this happen?

Has anyone recently exited PGN with their homestudy saying" recommended"?

I am concerned about my homestudy and am entering PGN soon.

Please help!!!

I have seen lots of home studies with this wording. In all honesty I do try to change it whenever possible, but I know many cases have made it through with the 'recommended' wording.

Sounds like a case of PGN being picky and that is likely just one reviewer doing that.

I just checked my homestudy and it says recommend and both my kids have recently gotten out and they had two different reviewers. It sound like you have a very difficult reviewer.

Thumbs down Small Stuff

I don't think you can possibly worry about all of the things PGN could kick you out for, so just let it happen. I am not really that relaxed, but of all of the things I thought we would be k/o'd for I did not think it would be b/c they wanted a DNA report that did not have to be included in our file. I think it just depends on what reviewer you get. I just hope they are doing all of their k/o's at the same time! If you read the forum...and I do A LOT the k/o's seem all very different and mostly idiotic. Praying for you to avoid the previo altogether!
