Happy Birthday to my Princess

Our Princess is 11 months old today. We took her referral when she was 3 weeks old. We entered pgn the first time July 27th and have been kicked out twice so far. We went back in this last time on November 6th. We have been in a total of 19 business days. I am sad and disappointed! I just want out so we can get her home. For my own selfish reasons, I know...But I still want her home!

Wanting to hold, kiss + love your baby is not selfish.

Hope you are out soon!

If you're selfish then I'm selfish too. We're pretty much in the same boat, and my son is only 3 days older than your little one. It was a hard day for me too. Sending hugs your way.

It is not selfish at all. Your little one needs to be home with you just as much as you need her home.
Happy birthday to your little princess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lisa, I will be praying for you and for your little one to be home soon! I think the approaching holiday has a bunch of us feeling blue about not having our babies home. I know I'm feeling like I'm hitting my lowest point yet...Josh is going to be 11 months pretty soon too and I wish he were here for me to hug too! You are NOT selfish for wanting your baby home. You just want your little baby girl here...
