Question Anybody still waiting from 2005?

Big hugs!
Laura

Hi Laura,
We accepted our referral 11/23/05 and finally got out of PGN 12/19/06! We're so thankful! I hope you and the other longtimers are out soon! Are you even hearing any updates on your case? NO minor birthmom? What gives?

Mr Barrios! Please let Laura and the rest of the longtimers OUT! O-U-T!

Best of luck! Hope to hear happy news from you really soon!
J oh, those bananas will drive you insane!

We're from 2005 too. We started waiting for Erick in October 2005 and he passed away in February 2006. We then began waiting for Jayden . . . and we're still waiting . . .

Prayers said for those of you waiting for so long and your children. Years ago we did an adoption from Guatemala that took nearly 1 1/2 yrs. It is maddening and often without good answers as to why so long. Ceya your story is beyond heart breaking. Hugs, Anna

Ceya, your situation is incomprehensible to me. I'll keep you in my prayers. We accepted our referral on 6/22/05, entered PGN with PA on 11/28/05, & are now in investigations, before a judge in minors court. No minor birthmom either.

Waiting
I am so sad for all of you that have been waiting for so long. Your kids will all know how much they were wanted and loved after all you have been through to get them home. I hope things get resolved soon!

I guess you could count me in this group too. We started our adoption of Ronaldo and Julia in May of 2005. We are now going through an abandonment with their case. Sad because if it ever happens, it's going to be a really, really long time yet.
